Don't forget referring to adult women as girls!

Infantilization is a broader problem, actually. Overseas soldiers are typically "boys" (whether male or not). Teenagers accused of violent felonies are often "kids" whose grades are suddenly relevant.
And kudos to you for using "women" instead of "female".
This is confusing me. What is the current PC way to address the non-male gender?
PCs can address at least 8-bit segments (bytes). Current transfer minimum is probably 64-bit for uncached writes.
That's a very heterogeneous group you are addressing. Why are you grouping by a binary gender? What is it you think individuals in this group have in common?
The key (reproducing_organ) only has 2 (or 3) values. If you want a composite key (reproducing_organ, sexual_preference, sexual_identification), you would get (at most) 3 * 3 * 2 (?) possible values. If you want to expand that key to include X because PC reasons, I'm not listening anymore.

Penises and vaginas. Since those with ambiguous genitalia are a rounding error, they can flip a coin.

Are you serious?
Why is that deserving of kudos?
