>>>>Here is - hopefully a humorous - reply to your paper form example. Imagine that on the paper forms they would have a check box and the word "Male" and nothing else. So if you don't check it, you are a Female, pretty obvious. But imagine how many questions or raised eye brows this would generate :).

Hmm...
Males would check the "Male" checkbox
Females would check the "Female" checkbox
Hermaprhodites would check both the "Male" and "Female"
Entities that are neither would leave both unchecked...

Hmm... That should cover it... At least until we encounter beings that have additional genders...
