A lot of sites have moved to non-binary gender representations. Some do it because they see heteronormativity as a close-but-not-quite-close-enough false dichotomy that leaves too many people out in the cold. I’m not sure if that’s why Amazon did this, but they certainly wouldn’t be the first ones to do it.
FWIW, I tend to agree with this recent perspective. In the endless debate over nature-vs-nurture, why should we insist on nurturing this dichotomy? We’re no worse off for not reenforcing that which marginalizes/disenfranchises so many. Are we?
