While adding some bits and pieces for The Suffering, I've noticed that there are no pages for male or female to link to. I also remember that there was some recent controversy over male and female categories. So I don't want to do anything rash.

But it seems that the information that some (humanoid) species are divided into males and females should be represented somehow in the Wiki. Whether by male and female pages or by a gender page, I don't know, but something is missing. It doesn't seem right to reduce this to sheer Sexuality. And I fear I do not have enough experience to tackle such a global issue.

It has, however, been established in DWU, in The Suffering to be precise, that the notions of female and male transcend the boundaries of human species. The alien remains found in Piltdown (and heavily hinted to come from the planet of the Drahvins) are decidedly female. This female is able to distinguish human females from human males. She wants all human males to suffer and exploits human females to achieve this end. Also Drahvins have been established as an all-female species.

I would appreciate it if some senior and more experienced editors provided some guidance for treating this DWU information, as well as the context of past controversies (if any).
