Gender - this really needs to be updated to modern times

In iSAMS there is only two genders available to choose for Students.

Some of our students do not identify as just Male or Female and have been distressed that they have to pick one when applying when they don't identify as those. Also seeing the icons of male and female have bothered them as well. Can a third icon be created that is neutral?

We've also have had enquires on our online application forms where we have had to rename the Gender field "Gender at Birth".

For a work around we have had to use a custom field called "Preferred Gender" instead with the list of genders available:

Agender
Androgyne
Androgynous
Bigender
Cis

    We will be adding a Gender Identity field in the next year to cover Preferred Gender.
