Now keep in Mind that '_IsMale' is a 'int?'...
switch _IsMale
case null:
return "unknown";
case 0:
return "Female";
case 1:
return "Male";
Thank goodness there is comments to help understand what is happening and what the values are for.
Only thing the comments does not explain...
"unsexed != virgin"?

pff. waste of space. a bool? would have been sufficient 
|
|

On the contrary, the int? was very forward thinking!
Who knows what other option we could have: hermaphrodite, transsexual, transgender male to female, transgender female to male, mutant (with a new kind of chromosome), so many possibilities!!!

There's an ISO standard[^] for it. 
0 = not known,
1 = male,
2 = female,
9 = not applicable.

And someone will still complain, because they want to be listed as "60% male, 60% female" or some other absurdity.

So you think that why they used int and not bool? So that there are 2,147,483,647 possibilities of male and female (and unknown according to above comments)

Nah, nah, that's the beauty of the 'int?' could accommodate 4Gb of variety! :P

It might not be enough. Go straight for 'long?'.

I shall call you Sir Ismale.
At least then someone would have called you "Sir," without adding "you're making a scene"...

Is not that obvious. For instance I don't see the default section.
By the way, captain is right (and you are wrong) on null->"unknown", 'virgins' definitely have sex...
