Yes, 10MB, apparently.
10MB ought to be enough for any gender.
It's surprising they would need more than 640kb, really.
That's only for that puny site. I'm referring to something more akin to the information theoretic computer science concept of maximum gender file size, where you can't add in any more gender before the amount of information turns into a black hole.
Insofar as gender is a social construct and potentially unique to a person, one could say that gender's maximum file size would be equal to an entity's conceptualization of their gender. While you might be able to parse out the "gender" portion of a standard human brain by mapping the various neural connections' patterns that form the basic archetypal building blocks that eventually model gender through their activation in series, that excludes the possibility of a non-human brain that could have a much more defined, complex conceptualization of gender. While there is likely an upper limit given inherent physical limitations in the emergent phenomenon of sapience, there is much yet to be explored in this topic.
Absolute minimum? 12
Planck's gender
No, then it just resets the scale
