Is normalizing the gender table going too far?

Question

I am not a database guy, but am trying to clean up another database. So my question is would normalizing the gender table be going too far?

User table:
userid in         


        

Answer 1

Yes. I think that You can use enum in code and bind eventuatly to it.

null - unknow ; 0 - male ; 1 - female;

or you can use bool type to define this

null - unknow; true - male; false - female
