Comment (by danieltj):

 Personally, I think it would be less confusing to have a Gender select box
 with he, she and other rather than radio button and explaining it as much
 as it currently is.

 I do like the idea though, +1.

 Perhaps it would be better to, instead of having `get_user_gender` as a
 function to return he, she or they, instead have a new translation
 function called `_g` where it accepts a placeholder to be returned as he,
 she or they, or even his, her, their. I think that'd be a much more
 elegant solution.

 I'll see if I can whip up a patch to explain further.
