Custom Gender option

Could we please get a txt field for the gender options? I’d like to choose Non-binary, but for some reason Genderqueer shows up instead.. just not the option I want and how much simpler to just let anyone enter whatever they want?

Edit: I did try to search this and saw Nick Wildsr added the ‘non binary’ box in 2020. There was all kinds of crap to sift through in the forum, so idk if this specific feature was requested. It should exist! 

I agree with the enter your own for gender thing. Seems an easy solution. I do however find it funny that you choose not to put anything else real in your profile info when you very well can do that.

Let’s not make this about my life choices, John Clark from Reno NV, if that is your name…

Are you allowed to select a gender that doesn't belong to a list of approved gender options?

I don’t really understand the question, but currently on MP, you can select between 4 options, male, female, nonbinary/genderqueer (which weirdly shows up as just genderqueer in the profile), or not saying (which also weirdly appears as NotSaying in the profile). So I suppose the answer is no, you are forced to pick one of those. When u first create an account you can leave it unselected, but once you click one, you’re stuck with picking one from the list. A field where u can type whatever you want would be superior.

Of course this is really obvious, but really obvious questions (and random trolls) do bring the thread more attention so, bump away.

Well, it may not be the broken search function.. but while we are fixing relevant stuff, this too.

that it was only a matter of time before either Yury or Frank showed up to tell you what to write in the box.

Thank you for the honorable mention!

You don't have to let resentments rule your life. You don't have to make posts personal. Free yourself! Rise above the urge to be petty.

Sure, old men be bigoted. Engaging them is just playing into it, but it does make the thread get a nice red dot.

Someone was nice enough to reach out and explain that there were efforts underway to resolve this, but it probably was stalled by the sale to OnX. So keep on bumping.. new overlords fix this

Oh whoops I forgot not to commit a Kinsley gaffe.

It’s pride month! Here I am again, requesting a custom gender option! If OnX can code in an annoying window that pops up asking me to upgrade constantly, it surely can afford to be more inclusive!

And how is your gender not captured by the options this year? Could you make a list of the genders you want added?

Everyone look! Batman is back! Oh wait it’s not the hero we deserve or need, it’s just John Clark. Thank you for increasing the visibility of this topic. I’d like to see a custom gender option field/txt box, where any user can put whatever they like.

I support the open field idea. I would make use of it as well
