Diaspora's ability to provide gender options beyond the binary is a terrible reason to drop Diaspora.
For all it's problems, this is something I'd definitely defend the spirit of what they were trying to achieve, if not the exact implementation (should have provided some common options instead of just a blank text field), but when I clicked this link, I expected to see a critique of Diaspora's efficiency, security, platform decisions, protocol specification, etc.
Not a rant against "identity politics."
