I really don't understand why, if I sign in with Facebook, you need to access my friends list. So I tried to sign up without Facebook, and I don't understand why you requested I choose one of two genders, or that I need to choose any gender at all. Maybe those things are important for participation in a fair and balanced debate, but it was enough to discourage me from signing up at this time.

Sorry about this, we actually don't use your friends list at all, it's just part of the default Facebook permissions. Facebook connect is purely used to simplify signup/login and the site is never going to automatically post on your wall or contact your friends. There is actually a discussion re. gender fields here - https://www.saysaw.org/topics/48-web-services-should-not-ask-for-a-gender-limited-to-male-and-female https://www.saysaw.org/topics/48-web-services-should-not-ask... you may want to add to
