Um, people have gender too. Without any of the connotations "people have
sex" has.

       n 1: a grammatical category in inflected languages governing the
            agreement between nouns and pronouns and adjectives; in
            some languages it is quite arbitrary but in
            Indo-European languages it is usually based on sex or
            animateness [syn: {grammatical gender}]
         2: the properties that distinguish organisms on the basis of
            their reproductive roles; "she didn't want to know the sex
            of the foetus" [syn: {sex}, {sexuality}]
