It would just look silly on me, with my beard.
Genderqueer / bi-gender is a thing.

Since I was a very young kid and first learned about the golden records and the plaque, it’s always bothered me how they imagined aliens would be able to understand any of it. Why would aliens have the same sorts of sense organs (or any organs at all) to notice the physical features? And why assume they also use syntax or representations for communication (if they communicate at all)? And that’s two huge steps before you even get to semantics.

Yeah, I get that, but the idea that you could code a message into a universal language humans invented is kind of ridiculous. Its like if you are stuck on an island with someone who doesn’t speak your language so you draw a picture that symbolizes “hello” to them which is a depiction of your first day in public school because that’s where humans often learn to deal with each other in public, as opposed to just saying “hello” and pointing and stuff. Neither may work but one is way more convoluted.
