Pretty crappy that "Gender" is a two-choice radio button. Literally gender binary.

- z0a 11y agoMy mistake. Fixed.
- cloakandswagger 11y agoI'm sorry, how exactly was it fixed? Now I can mark 'Other', but as a gender-fluid this really should be more a slider
- cloakandswagger 11y agoAnd now I'm being downvoted by pro-Trump bigots
- randommodnar 11y agoYou're being downvoted because the idea of asking people to self-report their personal many-spirited gender identities on an oppressive, single-axis slider is outright offensive. You might as well literally be Hitler. We clearly need a 5-dimensional gender selector in the form of a virtual tesseract.
- p4wnc6 11y agoHow dare you! My gender requires an infinite dimensional Hilbert space ... and no it is not a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space either!
- pushboundaries 11y agoI sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

- oldmanjay 11y agoIdentity politics aren't really the point of this exercise.
- home_boi 11y agowell no, that's unfair to the person of bear spirit gender that is slightly male and female. It should be more like a color wheel
- samstave 11y agoI'm poor, but I identify as a billionaire, so I find your question on income to discrimate me. I'm fiscally-fluid.
- DarkTree 11y agoSurprisingly, this is the first troll I've seen on HN.
- wagglycocks 11y agoAfter enough downvotes I think the bad posts just disappear from view. I'm not 100% sure how it works.
- dogma1138 11y agoWell if you are gender fluid then select what you identify as at the moment of filling the spreadsheet. Or better yet select what your employer sees you as, if you are a 6'3" male with a neckbeared your employer thinks you are a man regardless if you identify yourself as male, female, neither or a walrus.
- fuzzbucket 11y agoThat's an improvement, thank you :)
- Freeboots 11y agoNow you can be an attack helicopter.
- josh_carterPDX 11y agoI want to be a Donut. Can't be mad at a donut.
- Khao 11y agoLiterally how the whole world works.
- randommodnar 11y agoSo change it to "Sex" or "Human Biological Sex". One is a useful metric delineating two physiologically and psychologically different halves of human biology determined by your DNA. The other is a pretty useless personal opinion about "what do I feel like inside?". I'm happy for you feeling your new invented gender (bisexual-wolf-bear spirit??) to replace our old invented genders, but it doesn't say shit about your biology. Sorry, I should have started with a trigger warning.
