Subject: hS raises some valid points.

And one thing I may add: any transgender characters, or such would be easy to find linked in that very article on the subject. Not sure we need a separate category for it.

Other than that, I'm really not sure there'd be any particular benefit to having a category for male and female agents. Sure, other wikis do it, but it's not as though we're obligated to use any particular categories simply because other wikis have them, and as hS said, it just doesn't seem all that likely to be useful, at least in comparison to the workload it would give us. Consider the number of pages this would require an edit of: we've got around 900 Agent pages, 200 Staff pages, and 100 Flower pages--editing all that just to add redundant information (whether via infobox or category) easily obtainable already seems entirely unnecessary to me.

Oh, and speaking of unnecessary categories, I don't even like the "agents of color" category, because it rather implies (at least to me?) that agents are by default white (and human!), which is... not great. I also think we should axe the "inactive agents" category because it's not consistently applied, and I think the "retired agents" category works better in-universe. Of course, these are just my opinions, so take them as they are.

So, yeah, don't think it's worth it.
