Gender identity no longer an option when creating people?

I've seen that you can still add it after the fact, but there doesn't appear to be an option (at least under Self appearances) to add this upon creation? It's only an extra step, but it's an extra step that takes time.

@MovieCat This is because Self, like every credit category other than actor/actress, is not a gendered credit category (and if we had our time again, we would have a gender neutral cast category, but for historical reasons we are stuck with actors and actresses, at least for now). Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. I do quite like the gender bit, because it's extra info, isn't it? Like trademarks*, quotes, biographical details, etc. * I wonder if trademarks is the most-abused category? The amount of "trademarks" I've had to put in deletions for, usually stuff like "this person has a head and ears". But I digress...
