On the Profile edit page, the only gender options are Male or Female.
However, there are a great number of individuals who identify as transgender or use some other gender marker. (I happen to have two such individuals in one of the games I DM.) There is simply no reason why there isn't at least an "Other" option to select. Ideally, this could be changed to a text box and thus enabling people to identify however they choose.
This is low hanging fruit. And, this simple change would reflect a commitment to inclusivity and better reflect the fact that all kinds of people play the game.
A great suggestion, I'm sure this wasn't an intentional exclusion rather than a default option with most "forum" management software. Ill bump this to hopefully get more views on it.
I support the idea of changing from the two options to a text box, or entirely removing the gender entry if the text box isn't doable for some reason I can't imagine, so that everybody is given equal ability to identify their gender for others on this forum.
I wanted to let you all know I did a deploy to remove the gender field. Thank you so much for the feedback and the help you all are providing with testing out the site!

Thank you @HartlessD20 (on an unrelated topic, no way to @mention someone on these forums?)

100% support this. The ability to write in how you identify is very important in ensuring all folks feel included.
