- Mz 14y agoYou already did (start a controversy). If you can add "other", I suggest you do so. It will reduce some of the fallout.

- publicfig 14y agoToo late!
- cllns 14y agoSeems like it's too late for that. You should just add another option and ignore the haters. (edit: thanks)
- j45 14y agoNot sure if it would be a big deal. Some things are bug deals if treated as one. Transgender has been a long existing thing, the awareness of our particular civilization might not be high.

- codegeek 14y agook i added the "other" choice without trying to come up with a cute/smart description.
- ars 14y agoThe problem with other is that people are clicking it for fun. I quite doubt there are 15 other to 42 female (to 735 male).
- Suitov 14y agoBut, um, why do you assume people are clicking "other" for fun and not clicking "female" or "male" for fun? Do you have data about people's reasons for clicking? Is there some data on HN's readers' gender distribution with which you can disprove - oh wait, that's what this poll was intended to provide...
- FUlibs 14y agoFuck you. Should have stuck with your instinct and not told the lie liberals love.
