A weirdly limited selection, too. Like, what if you're a Somali?
Look at me, I am your gender now.
So I found a twitter thread talking about this, and the documentation page seems to indicate it's used as a lookup for a name to indicate the most likely gender of that name is. https://pecl.php.net/package/gender/0.6.0
The country inclusion is odd, but then again apple also does this with oddly specific family relations that exist in other countries/cultural regions. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/contacts/cnlabelcontactrelationeldercousinmotherssiblingsdaughterorfatherssistersdaughter
From the documentation, it appears that the country codes are for localization presumbly of the names of the genders.
Edit: Ah, others already said this (didn't refresh and kbin doesn't update this automatically). Refer to above.
My gender is ERROR_IN_NAME 😎
What in the hell is KAZAKH_USBEK?
Kazakhstan / Uzbekistan. Weird that they're considered the same country by this class
