There's an RFC about that! RFC 6350, section 6.2.7, about the GENDER
vCard property:
6.2.7. GENDER
Purpose: To specify the components of the sex and gender identity of
the object the vCard represents.
Value type: A single structured value with two components. Each
component has a single text value.
Cardinality: *1
Special notes: The components correspond, in sequence, to the sex
(biological), and gender identity. Each component is optional.
Sex component: A single letter. M stands for "male", F stands
for "female", O stands for "other", N stands for "none or not
applicable", U stands for "unknown".
Gender identity component: Free-form text.
ABNF:
GENDER-param = "VALUE=text" / any-param
GENDER-value = sex [";" text]
sex = "" / "M" / "F" / "O" / "N" / "U"
Examples:
GENDER:M
GENDER:F
GENDER:M;Fellow
GENDER:F;grrrl
GENDER:O;intersex
GENDER:;it's complicated
