Thank you to my friend Leonid for sharing this one.
One of Leonid's customers has a home-grown CRM system. They asked him to perform some analysis on the database for code inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, etc. While reviewing the system, he came across a table named "SEX_TBL" and, of course, was just too curious.
A simple query showed four rows in the table:
Male
Female
Unknown
Group
Male and Female seem self-explanatory. Even unknown in these modern times makes sense, but Group Sex always meant something entirely different to me....

Group Sex? Giggity Giggity, I think.
I don't think that Sex Type is an ISO/IEC/etc standard or anything, but I've seen a list of *thirteen* different sex codes -- from TMF (Transexual Male, Formerly Female) to HN (Hermaphrodite, No Preference) -- floating around different government and hospital systems.
