=== Arguments ===
:("unit")

;unit : String -- The [[API TYPE UnitId|UnitId]] to query (e.g. "player", "party2", "pet", "target" etc.)

 local genderTable = { "neuter or unknown", "male", "female" };
 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage('Target is ' .. genderTable[UnitSex("target")] .. '.');

==== Result ====
 Target is female.

== Details ==
* UnitSex("target") will return 1 (neuter/unknown) on "sheeped" mobs, no matter their "true" gender. <small>(Needs reverification after 1.11)</small>. UnitSex("player") does not return 1 on "penguinification".

* Prior to v1.11, the codes were 0=male, 1=female, 2=unknown.

== Notes ==
* If "unit" doesn't exist (e.g. UnitSex("target") when you have no target), UnitSex() will return 0.<br/> Previously, it would return 2. (As seen on [[Talk:World of Warcraft API#API_UnitSex.28.22target.22.29_:_What_if_there_is_no_selected_target_.3F|Talk:World of Warcraft API]])
