Gender - What do numbers mean

What do the different numbers (I'm mostly getting 0, 1, 2) mean when returned as the gender field for a person? Thanks!

Is there any chance of maybe a 3?
Not Specified, Female Male Non-Binary
It is kinda annoying that Non-Binary are lumped in with data that hasn't been added yet.

Ah! My bad, that's great to hear :)
When looking at https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/people/get-person-details the text beside gender indicates "minimum: 0, maximum: 2, default: 0", which is why I assumed this change had not been made yet. Should this be updated to
maximum: 3?Reply by Travis Bell

You bet, I've just updated the docs. Thanks.
