I think this would be an interesting and useful addition,

If they do implement this and only have the male and female options, I’ll be pretty pissed off.

I think at the bare minimum they should have these:

Cis male
Cis female
Trans male
Trans female
NB

What do you guys think?

I would love to have the option though. I’m sick of people asking me “XDDD ARE YOU BOI OR GRILL?”, it gets really old. I’d rather just put trans female on my page so there’s less confusion and less people asking me questions.

And people catfish on any site with gender markers, so it’s not that bad

But... that would kindof worsen the community right? I mean, i believe it's the fucking worst when people ask that, probably annoying as hell.

I believe if you kindof change around the concept, you still can get this in.

How would I change the concept? Gender makers on profiles are straight forward and I can’t think of other ways they can be implemented

Genders on profile is useless information and I can’t think of why it should be their (even after your arguments)

Not useless. Think about it. People would no longer debate what gender players are.

Like Riviclia and Totoki are very androgynous in appearance

Having the option does not guarantee that players would choose to display that information on their profile, so that doesn’t follow

It would just be a quality of life change for players like me who don’t wanna be asked their gender constantly.

would it really improve your quality of life? i find the knowledge just makes people act differently a lot of the time etc

better to say "secret" cuz even though curiosity is harmless, a lot of people care way too much even if they barely know you

Yes, people always use wrong pronouns 99% of the time, I get many people asking me what my gender is, and other shit like that. I’m sure other players would like an easy solution to those problems

If you care about it so much you can explicitly state that in your userpage. Girls I know from osu! are totally fine by being called with masculine pronouns.

How are they fine with being misgendered? Sounds fake to me

Because they know that there is no way for the person who is talking to them to know anything about them, so they don’t hold it against them

People sometimes use female pronouns for me because of the username and avatar. Idgaf

Define at what point it would be useful to know what gender the person is.

And there we go with cons why this shouldn't be added, consider using the userpage you're getting offered by the supporter tag.
worst fl player

I see no point adding a option like this.

This isn't a dating website.

This is an unnecessary addition. If you really have to state your gender, put it in another field or your user page instead.

You should probably just go ahead and put it in your userpage if you think it'd help. Most people never both reading those regardless, though, so I don't think this feature would make a difference either way. 's just life on the internet- people aren't gonna know who you are, and they'll generally assume male in any male-dominated space (and female in any female-dominated space).

If it was needed, it would've been implemented over this forum's 10 year+ lifespan yo.
