Forum Software Devs Homo/Transphobia (Gender Selection Dropdown)

When I went to access the gender selection dropdown in the Edit Profile page, there are only two available options: Male and Female. However, many people in the LGBTQ community do not identify as either Male or Female. I think that there should be at least an option like “Other” or something, if you can’t type it in. This is probably not Bytro that’s responsible for this, it’s probably the software engineers that created this forum software.

I can understand why they wouldn’t want people to be able to type anything they want, people are bound to put things that are inappropriate.

Stay Sweet!

Add an "other" category, where you can type it in, no need for anymore hassle, I mean, how many women have you actually seen on this forum (this isn't offensive, just a statement), I imagine the reason they didn't add it is because in 2015 the issue wasn't as relevant, and how many queer people will play (OI am using it as an umbrella term for the LGBTQ+ Community).
Like 3 active ones I think? Still a decent amount.

Ah, my bad. Weirdly, I just read a book about a RBT, called "Life of Pi'. Unnoble of me to forget o7

I think an "Other" option would really just be enough.
