I honestly can't think of a single piece of software on my current machine that knows my gender. It's really irrelevant. EDIT: Yeah? That's why I said there's nothing to complain about. I just don't think they really needed to bother writing a paragraph to explain it. Most things are done that way anyway.

So you agree with their human interface guidelines, then? "You can help everyone feel welcome in your app by avoiding unnecessary references to specific genders. [...] Most apps don’t need to know a person’s gender, but if your app requires this information — such as for health or legal reasons — consider providing inclusive options, such as nonbinary, self-identify, and decline to state." For example, if the app is a period tracker the rec here is to not assume everyone using it identifies as a woman.

>I honestly can't think of a single piece of software on my current machine that knows my gender. It's really irrelevant. Then you're probably not a user of dating apps, which are fairly popular.
