Exchange Custom fields, maybe?
Or just in the descriptions field...

But make sure you check with your legal department first!!

But make sure you check with your legal department first!!

Just curious, what ill legal affects could result by including a users
gender? Isn't this a common question asked on an application, anyhow?
Assuming the field is filled out properly, I don't see what harm could
come. Then again, I'm also not a lawyer ;-).
