Binary gender has been deprecated. This project should be updated to support a modern fluid gender specification.

This is a duplicate issue, and ongoing discussion happening on GH-117.

"Binary gender has been deprecated" - [citation needed]

Even if the initial claim of binary gender being deprecated is true, this library would still be useful to parse legacy pieces of English language. Sorry for nitpicking!

Only 0.3% of the US population identifies as transgender. Sounds like it has not been deprecated yet.

@masterslavedb that's great... What about some of the other definitions?
