Replace your options item with

           <item name="options" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="0" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="value" xsi:type="number">0</item>
                    <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Doesn't Matter</item>
                </item>
                <item name="1" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="value" xsi:type="number">1</item>
                    <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Male</item>
                </item>
                <item name="2" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="value" xsi:type="number">2</item>
                    <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Female</item>
                </item>
            </item>
