Many thanks to all who responded - I had no idea of the monster I was
creating in starting this thread!
Yes, the table is used only for humans; it's part of some
administrative software I'm writing for an educational institution,
and the primary purpose of the gender column is to help the users
cope with a problem new to the west of Ireland - the large influx of
immigrants from Africa, eastern Europe and elsewhere means that it's
no longer possible to tell a student's gender just from their
name....!
