It should be possible to have the lexicon have a word, like "Bienvenido" or "Bienvenida" depending on whether the person being referred to identifies as masculine or feminine. I should be able to map either of those words to the other form depending on the gender.

This concept also applies to job titles, like actor and actress, or steward and stewardess.

This also touches topics around pronoun usage. You should be able to state that "The athlete placed first, and (he|she|...) is tired." In that example, the word "first" is gendered in many languages, but I want to exclude that numerical topic as the domain of RBNF.
