ultrono23507yIt's not so much how to implement the request, as that's easy.
It frustrates because the task is a reflection of the last few years, political correctness etc .
I know even 2 years a request like the one here would be unheard of. -
Just change from sex/gender to sex and girl and boy will cover all possibilities
-
@SgnfcntOverflow Unless it's for some service using language which doesn't differentiate between those, then use biological gender or something like that
-
balte22947y@SgnfcntOverflow there should be an intersex option then. not out of political correction but because it should cover all options including edge cases. and intersex is a scientifically acknowledged edge case.
regarding the gender. I'm a supporter of having the "other" option. generally, it hurts no one to have it. in fact, sometimes I even use that option if I don't think it's necessary for a service to know my gender. -
inaba45897y@ClemFrieckie that sounds ingredibly childish tbh. It's "pretending to be retarded" tier logic
-
@DeveloperACE thats such a nice option becaue I really want my gender to be ';Drop Table...

Genitalia:
... • Penis
• Vagina
• I paid too much money on a shitty surgery and now have none of those or a very crippled version of one -
@filthyranter I actually agree with this.
You know how they have those stick figures on bathroom signs?
Yeah, replace those with dicks and vags - we're in business then. Fuck the words and look in your pants. -
ultrono23507y@droo It's not a service as such. It's a signup form for an event. Children get given gifts based upon their gender/age.
Arghhhhhhhh! What the hell is becoming of today's world?
So I have registration form that relates to parents signing up for a service and asking for ages of their children. Children are never older than 5 years old.
So, for each child the user specified the child's sex/gender (Boy or girl) and their age.
I'm still in disbelief over my client's request, that is marked "urgent".
I basically need to add to the list of options, as "boy" and "girl" are no enough and the question is now "too limiting".
I apparently need to add several more options including: "prefer not to specify", "geneder neutral", "bigender" and "genderfluid".
I mean how can a child aged 5 or less identify as "gender neutral" or "bigender" - how on earth are they able to decide.
Fine, if you're an adult and signing up to something like Facebook, have your 80 odd options. But for children under 5 how have no idea wtf any of this means, stuff like this really annoys me.
