I very recently had a feature request that would have looked like the drop down in https://genders.wtf/gender/you-can-only-choose-one/ https://genders.wtf/gender/you-can-only-choose-one/ or worse. We shot that down, but I still struggle with the right way to handle this. Going only textbox seems more inclusive, but I think it's annoying for anyone who identifies as Male or Female to type it out rather than selecting (and you'll wind up with man/male/etc).
- Nathanael_M 4y agoMale/Female/Undisclosed/Textbox perhaps?
- akavi 4y agoDepends on the reason you need to request gender, but for in-app pronoun purposes, I'd do: [ ] male [ ] female [ ] non-binary [text box for other] And use "they" pronouns for the last two options. (Ideally you'd allow the user to specify the pronouns themselves, but even among people who use non-conventional pronouns, getting them to correctly enter the subject/object/possessive cases of their choice is heavily hit or miss)
