I don't have the data indexed by location, so it would have to scan linearly
over all the data. Perhaps in the future. For now, you can get the answer

someone's profile page, and therefore can't be indexed against, and therefore
wouldn't produce a complete list.
The reason the gender is collected is for demographic reasons and in case
someone has an ambiguous or uncommon name like, for example, Ashley or Chris
or Leslie or Lauri-Pekka and they want to make sure their gender isn't
mistaken one way or the other.
