Gender: Lost

This overloading happens all the time in systems, and when you see it, ask clarifying questions before you run around screaming "I found fraud!"

The answers to your questions will most likely lead you down informative paths of how people are actually using the system you are looking at.

C had to deal with a lost library card at the library he volunteers at and when the card gets declared lost *for some reason* it changes the gender of the person on the system to "Gender: Lost"
