You can try the (very) comprehensive jeff's enumerated_attribute gem OR go with this simple workaround:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  SEX = [:male, :female]

  def sex
    SEX[read_attribute(:sex)]
  end

  def sex=(value)
    write_attribute(:sex, SEX.index(value))
  end
end

And then declare the sex attribute as an integer:

t.integer :sex

This worked very fine for me! =D
