In most cases, gender/sex is not actually the thing you care to know about a person, what you're usually really after is how to refer to the person. Additionally, words like "male" and "female" widely exclude trans and nonbinary people. Changing things like "male" to "he/him" and "female" to "she/her" (and maybe adding an example that uses "they/them"!) sets a better example for developers, and is more inclusive for queer people.

Happy to submit a PR if you're open to it. :)
