title: Get friend's gender in a Facebook application
body: <p>While developing a Facebook application I got the friendlist of a user by </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>$friends = $facebook->api('/me/friends');</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But I only got to know the name and Facebook Ids of the friends : <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/FriendList" rel="nofollow">http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/FriendList</a></p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get the gender of a friend?</p>
  
  <p>One way to do so is to get the user's gender (since it is publicly available) given the user's facebook Id (which I have got using the friend list)</p>
  
  <p>Is it really possible to do the above thing.<br><br>
  If not is there any other way?</p>
