Gender-Neutral Profile Image

Is your feature request related to a problem?
We would like to suggest a new feature that would make our platform more inclusive for all users. Currently, when creating a profile, there is only a male profile option available, leaving no option for those who identify as female or gender non-conforming.

Describe the solution you'd like

Additional context

This is the gender neutral option we propose:

Thanks for filing this @nicoleSosa! I think it's a nice suggestion, and something that should be straightforward to implement. I think https://fonts.google.com/icons?selected=Material%20Icons%3Aperson_outline%3A would work as a replacement icon--it seems to be the material icon representing what you're suggesting.

@prafulbbandre before we assign issues, we'd like people to provide an explanation for how they'd approach solving an issue (e.g. what files need to be changed & roughly how). How would you approach this?

Hi @BenHenning I think I can work on this by replacing the existing drawable resource with the one you provided in the link.
