This field specifies the gender of a Contact for the purposes of creating a reciprocal relationship. The value in the Gender field “interacts” with the values in the Reciprocal Method field (described above) to determine the correct reciprocal relationship. For example, if you create a Relationship from a “Mother” Contact record to a female Contact record, the NPSP creates a reciprocal relationship of “Daughter,” as opposed to “Son.”
The Gender field can be any custom picklist or text field on the Contact record with the required values being Male and Female. You can add other values to the picklist as well without affecting the reciprocal relationship feature.
