I would prefer and recommend that we stop using gender-specific anything
and removing the dependency.  Gender isn't a binary "male" "female" for
many people and I think it would be best if localized binaries of IM
clients instead use words that don't have a gender designation or
implication.

"Away" or "Busy" in English have nothing to do with the gender of the
party that has assigned that presence.  If localizations are assigning
gender to contacts in the roster, it should (in my opinion) not assign a
gender of any kind to a contact.
