Hi all,
The English Wikipedia categorises biographies by gender in some
circumstances (eg athletes), but not systematically in the way that
German does - there are no supercategories of "Men", "Women", etc,
designed to list all members of those groups, and plenty of biography
articles have no "gendered" categories. There are, of course, good
reasons to avoid this, and conversely good reasons to do it... but I'm
wondering why we do it this way.
Hmm, you really want to go there? What is ultimately verifiable has to
take account of [[Category:Sex chromosome aneuploidies]]. Not to speak
of other intrusions.
