It is important to have such options but is not mandatory that people should update it.. maybe if others wanna know about each others in real life they can exchange contact or social handle to prove themselves better. In the forum we talks about privacy so there is no need people should be trying to prove themselves as male or female, maybe people could decide to say it out that they are male or female but it's not compulsive or mandatory they should do that. What we really care about is the ideal we exchange in common across the forum and how it helps the next person and contributed to their life's.
