gendr: Do not assign gender to someone

In dapperstats/gendrendr: For Gender Enders

Do not assign gender to someone

Description

Recognizing that gender is an individual, person characteristic, it is impossible to accurately assign gender to another. Further, assigning genders to those who have been incorrectly assigned genders is a retraumatizing, violent act. Finally, gender is a spatiotemporally evolving concept, and therefore by definition, the gender of an individual in a given space and time may not be accurately predicted by the genders of other individuals in other spaces and/or times. A particularly prescient example of this is the recent-historic Euro-centric notion of a gender binary, which is a false construct that has been nonetheless used to define genders on a massive scale.

gendr acknowledges these shortcomings when asked to assign the gender of an individual.

gendr_warning produces a warning if necessary (it's necessary).
