gendercoder: Recodes Sex/Gender Descriptions into a Standard Set
Provides dictionary-based tools for recoding free-text gender responses into consistent categories while preserving gender diversity where possible. The package standardises spelling, capitalization, whitespace, and common variants through curated named character-vector dictionaries, supports either detailed or collapsed output categories, and can retain original unmatched responses for manual review. It also includes helpers for creating custom dictionaries from approximate string matches and a local interactive application for recoding uploaded data files.
