Consensus on criticism you don’t like does not equal brigading. Everyone so far has been respectful and commented on the thing that is most salient about the website. And of course it’s around the same time, the post was just submitted. If everyone keeps saying you reek, consider giving your armpits a sniff before accusing everyone of ganging up.

>Gender includes the social, psychological, cultural and behavioral aspects of being a man, woman, or other gender identity. Depending on the context, this may include sex-based social constructs as well as gender expression. What you are referring to is sex.

You could just use what's on your license or ID. The site seems to be a kind of dating/singles chat, if that's the case having genders/sexes makes some sense, although indeed it could be better.

If it doesn't, choose the other or closest option. It's unlikely there isn't one.

Sure, like here in NYC. That's really more of a personality thing IMO, which gets conflated with sex. Wherever necessary, things still reduce down to a binary choice, with the rest being details.
I genuinely have no idea what to chose in the gender-screen (since neither option applies) and can't just say "You don't get to know that". Why is this needed? Edit: clarification

My ID says D for "diverse". Equivalent to X in the US. What now?
My point is simply that there is likely a 'closest option'. Obviously people don't have to use any service they feel doesn't cater to them, but when a service doesn't always offer more than the binary it doesn't have to always be a "woe is me, how could I ever proceed" scenario.

It’s a bit awkward that “in 2025” (your words) you’re focusing so heavily on gender, especially with a subpar implementation: You only allow “male” and “female” (which right off the bat will make many people close the website, even if they identify with either), have zero checks (as if people didn’t lie about that on the internet all the time), and make people type it themselves (when it should be a dropdown or radio…
