Thank you so much, Clive.

Could I ask one more question?

When I say "Is it a man or a woman?" , is it an impolite expression?

If yes, then in a more polite way, what could I say?

Thank you again.

A lot depends on the context. Who are you talking to? Where is the person you are talking about? Does the person have any kind of relationship
