More gender options?

      I know it's typical to use a binary system for gender options, but adding more options might help make people more comfortable? I

I think this sounds like a good idea. :3 and also people wouldn't get offended that easily.

I've actually made a thread about this before.
A few Staff themselves said it was a great idea, but they can't edit the official gender options they've been given by default with the forums.

I think this is a good idea because it would help members probably feel more welcome in the community, i think its something to consider though.

I personally wouldn't mind something like this. I think it's a good idea.

     In this case, I don't think there is much we can do. Then again, I don't know SMF does it's job, so someone who knows what there talking about may be a better guess.

I quite like this idea, and it's a shame that it might not be implemented due to the coding. There's an option to hide your gender on your profile though, so what if as an alternative there's a custom profile field for your preffered pronouns? I know there's been a couple new profile fields added after the forum update (primary rp group and species), so I think that might be possible, at least? I could be wrong however, that's just my two cents.

Only '90s kids will remember when there was only 2 factory issued ones, just like in the game.  And nature, which the game emulates.

It's more like a lion king game but ok.
I don't want to turn this discussion into an argument, but please if you're against this idea I think it would be more beneficial if you were to state why?

Personally I think it would be really nice to have more than the two default genders, although a pronoun text field may be misinterpreted or misused depending on the person.
Seeing as people (like above) may be uncomfortable with such a change, maybe we could instead advise users to hide their gender and out their pronouns in their signature if it is really a big deal.

I honestly don't get this because even back then, these genders did exist. But people rarely ever talked about it like it is now. Though even with little popularity, old websites did have a gender option called "Other".
Last of all, there's tons of members in FeralHeart and other games who have characters that don't identify as male and/or female.

I just wanted to speak up about this.
