title: Facebook Graph API: user gender
body: <p>The old Facebook API provided the user sex/gender as part of the default user data.  Apparently the new Graph API does not provide that information, even though the documentation says that it does.</p>
  
  <p>I've heard people say that you need to request special permissions to get it and other pieces of data, but I have not been successful in getting it to work.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an example, using the Facebook Graph API, of how to get the user's gender and/or location (city/state/country/whatever)?</p>
