I 've seen this thread yesterday: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454729
The OP has literally posted that another user dared to say that he is a man, when in reality he is a woman. Or the opposite, I mean who cares anyway?!
But this case made me wonder if we really need to have a gender field in our profile page. And I am asking that because I find it strange that people actually care about it. Personally, I do not consider it important enough, as in it won't affect the way I talk to someone and the way we exchange ideas.
We dont necessarily need a gender recognition field in our profile page, it doesnt make a difference
and its not important to me.
I would guess that there are people not stating their real gender with it, others who do and more who
just leave it blank
(a) there should be a "Gender" option with free text for selection and not a dropdown menu with predetermined options.
absolutely - it would provide some entertainment for us
you can be sure it would be used as people see fit - just like the Age field, I'm 8!
(b) there should not even be a field for it on the profile page. It is common for social forums to have such a field, but...
Yea that would work for me and anyone else who doesnt care about anyones gender.
Nobody asks anyone on here what gender.
This is anonymous forum. I think Teimos agrees with me
The topic can be closed

You dont waive your anonymity by stating [or not] your gender, who is going to believe you are
actually telling the truth, it cant be verified either.
