The IETF Data Tracker tool includes an (optional?) biography section for its record of people.
Example:

This biography is a free text field with pronouns in it:

Notice that "He" and "His" appear once each in this blurb, but not "She" or "Her".
As a way of augmenting the existing gender detecting tool, we can potentially us the biography blurb to extract gender pronouns for each IETF participant.
