Not really fight; it was just weird that of all the fields that could be mandatory they chose gender.

- masterzora 15y agoIt was "just weird" for some of us, but it was actually a legitimate problem for others. I don't think I'd use the word "fight" either, but it's better than trivialising to being "just weird".
- joejohnson 15y agoI think a possible explanation for this is that they use gender-specific pronouns in other parts of the site: "he said this...", "she +1'd this...", etc. So, I think they needed to re-word more than just the profile section with gender-neutral pronouns. I don't think this is a trivial task, and maybe that's why it will take until the end of the week.
- masterzora 15y agoCan you point me at a specific place they use gender-specific pronouns? I've been looking for them since day one and I don't remember seeing any anywhere on G+. Is it only a non-English thing, or is it some strange situation I've not seen yet, or have I just missed something obvious?
