The developer is evidently not requiring user indication of gender, and has problems in the event of null. Perhaps that matter is optional. If so, why didn't the developer provide an option for "User Declines" as an example. But generally I think this matter is very important. We exist in the 21st Century where a request for gender must be done with sensitivity. What is the convention in this matter?

Oh please, let's not turn the simplest of bugs into a debate on gender politics.

There is simply no single "convention" that will suffice for all contexts.
