You created your topic to make a circus, but I will not let you make my complaint into a flood, I have already explained in detail why I had complaints to that user
A circus? I am expressing the opinion that the gender has nothing to do with the forum. It's totally irrelevant.
I know you're a recent Legendary, but you still missed out on so much forum history! Otherwise you would have known how to work the system:
Unfortunately, I think that you misunderstand the system. Given the trillions of different gender identities, we have adopted a coding system in which each gender identity is assigned a 64-bit number. For example, and only for illustration (I do not wish to presume your wingspan), Apache-attack-helicopter-gendered people would need to input the easy-to-remember code 0x9b68d151aeefa34f. In order to maintain compatibility with legacy systems, however, this is done by submitting the form multiple times with different genders. For example, in this case you would input Male Female Female Male Male Female Male Male Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Male Male Male Female Male Male Male Female Male Male Male Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Male Male Male Male. Simple! Now, it may seem discriminatory to assign Male 1 and Female 0, but not to worry! The coding is designed so that you can also input the inverse and get the same result. And to avoid left-handed bias, you can also enter it in opposite order. In fact, you can just put in whatever sequence of entries you want and the result will be the same.
Thanks for that, indeed I was unaware of it. But still, I don't see why we need it
It's funny though, not gonna lie.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.
Absolutely, hence my point that we don't need to know anyone's gender to talk freely, openly and to exchange ideas.
This is anonymous forum. I think Teimos agrees with me
