If we're speaking of [[Special:Preferences]]:
(From bug 30442 comment 23)
Also, instead of
putting it under "Basic information" I'd put it along with the language
preference, changing "Internationalisation" title to "User interface".
Untagging this as a 1.19 release blocker. No work has gone into this enhancement,
and it cannot go in anymore.

Attempted something here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/30756/ .
Looks good!
Small ideas: "What sounds correct?" might be enough for 'yourgender', otherwise it's a bit too much the left column of Special:Preferences; 'gender-unknown' might be "I prefer not to answer" (the previous question).
Of course "He/She edits wiki pages" is not a very realistic example, but there's not much to do about it in a language like English; for the others, docs are good and can always be improved.
Amir: It's been over 6 months now. If you are not planning to work on this, can you de-assign yourself?
