    Gender is a second order tensor, so you should store it as a pointer to an array of pointers for maximum read/write speed.

      That’s only due to technical reasons on weird platforms like x86, 64bit x86 or ARM.

      Gender is a struct

      struct Gender {
  byte binaryBias;    ///Determines male (+) or female (-) bias if present
  ubyte binaryAm;    ///Determines the amount of binary gender(s) present
  bool isTrans;    ///True if assigned at birth gender does not equal with current one
  ubyte xenoAm;    ///Determines the amount of xenogender
  uint xenoGen;    ///Xenogender selection, 0 if not applicable
  Sex* sex;    ///Pointer to the person's current sex
}
