How to bind enum value to a field in rails

I have created a enum field in the database. Now i want to bind the field to the view in a such way that it shows all available values for selection. In this case Male and Female.

t.enum  :sex ,:limit => [:Male, :Female]

EDIT:

SQL generated:

Was not passing values, 

 <%= f.select :sex , [[ "Male" ,0] , ["Female" , 3 ]] %>

A range of values can be presented in a number of ways in a form, but it sounds like you want a selecte field. I'm assuming your column name is "enum"

= form_for @<model_name> |t| 
  = t.select :enum, [:Male, :Female]
