Class User: the binary gender field

[ctrl-alt-d]

Backgrounds

Currently, the app has a model User with a Gender field like this:

GENDER_CHOICES = (
    ('male', 'Male'),
    ('female', 'Female'))

class User(AbstractUser):
    # ...
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=10, # ...

Screenshot

Issue

The Gender property value, on app, is constrained to a binary gender.

@ctrl-alt-d I'm agree with solution2 and solution3. For me: male, female, non binary and blank as first option. So really are three options and the fourth one (bank) says: thats not important.
