For people interested in other tools, there is a command line gender verification tool and database:

and a Ruby gam that is built on the above data:

  http://api.genderize.io/?name=jessie
  {"jessie":"male"}

  irb(main):005:0> d.get_gender("Jessie")
  => :female

Not only is it better, it handles cases like androgynous and "mostly male"

and Done

Compared to:

I just wanted to learn basic Sinatra, but I might try to do the POST operations too.

Finished POST, changed the domain to genderizer.herokuapp.com:

A "command line gender verification tool"? So it'll verify my gender based from the command line? :P

I ran it...

....I....I.... just want to be alone for a bit.
