While checking the profile of someone I did not know I noticed that no Sex (Gender) was shown on the profile. This is new to me, so I checked the settings area. I found that I am listed as Male which is what I chose upon joining Lush. But the field is not changeable now. This got me to wondering. Has there been some kind of change to keep up with the world we live in? Is one able to simply not list one's Sex (Gender) if one wishes? And if one has a sex/gender modification how would one change their sex/gender here in the profile area?
i've often wondered this as well. i've seen a number of profiles where trans members have felt the need to explain why their selected gender doesn't match their avatar in their bio. if they had the ability to select transwoman/man, that could be eliminated. i also think fluid would be a welcome addition.
I also think the sex/gender box needs to be changed, to be honest. Trans, non-binary, gender fluid, are genders, not orientations. It should also be changeable for trans people who want to accurately reflect their status. I suspect that the inability to change is related to the penchant of people to misstate their gender (specifically guys pretending to be ladies) but that shouldn't be allowed to penalize our trans and non-binary members.
