"You are (context: preferences)" Need clarification

Is this string specifically referring to section where you choose your gender?

This is important, because an incomplete sentence like this cannot be translated to my target language due to the word order being different. So instead of "you are a man" it would be "you a man are", which wouldn't fit with what will be shown on the website.

If this string is specifically and only used for the section where you pick your gender, I'd translate the string to say "your gender". If it appears elsewhere, I would likely add a full sentence to say "you are the following"

Please let me know. Thank you

That's it. There is only this context to consider, so you can adapt it as fitting for your language here.
Thanks for translating in your language!
