When I had been programming in 80s and 90s, for person info, there's a field called "Sex", whilh basically just needs 1 bit, 0 or 1, standing for M or F. Apparntly somehow in mid late 90s, such field had become gender. At the beginning, it is still M or F, then it become M, F or unspecified, then more and more options, up to a few dozens.
I think, doctors have been in troubles. When doing medicine prescriptions, how to apply? Medicines have different effects on male bodys and female bodies, and medicines do not discriminate, and do not care about LGBT.
当我在 80 年代和 90 年代编程的时候,对于人物信息,有一个域叫做“Sex”,而基本上只需要 1 位,0 或 1,代表 M 或 F。 然在 90 年代中后期不知何故,这样的域已经变成了性别。 一开始还是M或者F,后来变成M、F或者不详,然后越来越多,最多几十个。 我想,医生一直有麻烦。 开药方时,如何应用? 药物对男性身体和女性身体的作用不同,药物不歧视,也不关心LGBT。
