You should feel more nervous about mentioning "gender" in an open
environment. More often than not, some pedant will happen along
and point out that "gender" is a grammatical term whereas the
word you are after (;-)) is "sex". Unless you have a problem with
talking about such things as "dative" in a public forum.
