... And if you're intersex, what then?

Intersex people still generally fall on one side of the binary in how they identify and/or present, so they can choose the closest option.

"Generally", means there are exceptions to the rule. If the ancient Greeks could handle more than two, can't we, today?

I'll retract that 'generally' then, and substitute it with 'always', since that's a mathematical certainty. There won't be any humans that are perfectly balanced with a completely equal distribution of all traits that we assign to one of the binary choices. Barring that, someone will always fall on one side.

Sure, though, we have the tech and ability to handle more than two, but until we get to the point where that's the norm not every situation where we don't isn't one where the sky falling.

The UI is nice and clean but the chat partner takes a while (closed out of it while waiting), I'd say try to add indication of estimated wait times, and honestly? A mini game while you wait like the dinosaur on Chrome. Or, at least a request to notify you when someone does get connected. Little things go a long way in UX.

Of course working on that . Drop any ideas below!!

okeyyyyyyyy, next steps: 1. will update gender selection to something meaningful (even a bit nice options). 2. will add games, or something nice things while you are connecting with stranger. 3. and many more interesting things specifically for "one-time" approach stuff. lol

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…

By making gender matching even a thing at all, they're obviously trying to make another horny creep site. Otherwise you wouldn't have that feature and certainly wouldn't ask it first thing.

Consider it a compliment that transgender and nonbinary people are considered wise enough to stay off such sites.
