Other gender opinions

Hey dear users and administrators of PenpalGate,

I would like to suggest that there are more genders to choose from than male and female.

Especially within the age and interest spectrum of PenpalGate, there are many people, who not fit into a binary gender system. All Non-binary, A-gender and religious people like two-Spirits are excluded by the current given options. Also, people like me who are transgender but didn't medically transitioned yet may not completely feel good with having to say they are one of two choose able genders.

Therefore, I suggest creating following genders to choose from:

Female

Male

Non-binary

Other

Best wishes,

Nika-Lia

Hello, the two available genders are male and female. We don't/can't verify people's identity so you could technically pick the gender you want.

On a more personal note, if I may, it is perfectly normal to question your gender identity during your teenage years. If you're surrounded by people who care about you, maybe take time to fully reach adulthood to assess your life options. The teenage mind is temporary, but your future adult self will be sticking around for decades to come.

I am not sure if you fully understand what I mean. Sure, transgender people can just choose the opposite gender, but Non-binary people for example can't choose a fitting gender. There are many adults who stay Non-binary, that's not just a thing people say through their teenage years. Therefore, more gender options are necessary to represent all users.
