Owner

The gender list should read Male, Female, …, not Man, Woman, ….

What exists today

accounts/addressing.py:87-93 (GENDERS): en Woman, Man, Non-binary; fr Femme, Homme, Non binaire; pt Mulher, Homem, Não binário. They are data lists per language, not catalogue strings (:16-22), and the stored value is the word itself (:24) — what a CV prints.
Options carry lang; Other takes free text.

What would change

en Female, Male, Non-binary; fr Féminin, Masculin, Non binaire; pt Feminino, Masculino, Não binário.
Stored words change, so existing values are migrated (old word → new word per language), and the archive importer maps the old words too.

Decisions

The order stays as now (the list's first is the one that was first). Recommended.

Checked against main at 8c3d03570. From the maintainer's improvements list of 2026-10-07.
