Default gender symbols

Hi moderators, and Richard...

Something just passed my mind today, I remember the time I was answering Veronīs post, maybe, a couple of months ago or so... And I was trying to use a pronoun for her, but I couldnīt, for I donīt know her gender that time, whether sheīs a she or a he. I then end up rephrasing my sentence to avoid using that pronoun.

Could we have, if possible, have gender symbols: that circle with a cross for women and circle with an arrow for men, say beside the names in posts....

I also have read one post directed to Soup saying (s)he, having the same problem as I did, a time ago... and still having the same problems till now....

thanks!
