FYI:

OASIS CIQ [1] uses "gender" but only recommends "Example: Male, female, etc" (the xml element is just a text field)
 
FOAF uses "gender" [2]

OMA Converged Address Book (CAB) uses "gender":
  1)       “0” indicates “not known”.
 2)       “1” indicates “male”
 3)       “2” indicates “female”.
 4)       “3” indicates “other”.
 5)       “9” indicates “not applicable”
