Profiles - Gender was created by Edan
I went to update my own profile today and noticed that there are only two options for gender.
Given some of the discussions that have happened at totjo in the past, and the variety of people here, I wondered if perhaps we could be more inclusive and have some other options, even if it just 'other - please ask.'

Yeah, or maybe open it up to a write in so people can put whatever they want.

My experience of such people at totjo is that they absolutely need to be one or the other -- can't remain as neither even if that's how they were born. there are 3 options though, the third one being non-disclosure.

In the spirit of not making assumptions about people, non disclosure isn't very helpful.

I'm sorry? 'other' isn't non disclosure... It's a disclosure that it's not straight forward male or female.
