Cultural note:
ASL is much less gender (male/female) based than most languages. It might just be the most gender free language on the planet.  (Good topic for a research paper, eh?) For example: In ASL we don’t use two separate signs for actor and actress.
Also,  there is distinction between the signs "HE" and "SHE."  You just point off to the side, or if the person is in the room you point at them.
 

ASL Note: 
Note: some instructors don’t like the initialized versions of BREAKFAST, LUNCH, and DINNER, they prefer the “eat morning” “eat noon” and “eat night” versions. But many Deaf out in the community use the initialized versions, and I've never met a skilled ASL user who didn't recognize the initialized version--so I teach those versions as being ASL. Yet you will still see disagreement amongst instructors. Oh well.  When in doubt, do it the way your current instructor does it because he or she is the one who gives the grades.
