What do you think about adding an "unspecified" option to the user gender field? Since it's stored as an integer, it should be pretty easy to add more values to it, I don't think a database migration will be required. If this is done, I suggest making it the default instead of male.

As far as I can tell, the gender field is not used in any kind of exercise/calorie calculation, or anything else on the backend for that matter, so there shouldn't be much consequence aside from the cosmetics of a user profile. It looks like the default profile picture is determined by this field, so a new default for unspecified gender users is necessary.

I can try doing this myself at some point in the near future.
