"Preferred" Pronouns & Gender
Hey there, mods! Thanks so much for creating these forums. I'm really excited to get started using them. One thought I have--would it be possible to remove the "preferred" from the fields in the Control Panel requesting pronouns and gender identity? I know for some people pronouns and gender terms really are a preference, but for many others, it is not merely a preference, but a necessity and I think just saying "Pronouns" and "Gender" is clear enough without needing the "Preferred" there.
Not sure if I'm being clear enough. Does that make sense?

Hey people,
Could you make the gender box allow more characters? I couldn't fit "genderfluid transmasculine" in it ^^;

Re: "Preferred" Pronouns & Gender
Oh awesome! And actually, could the pronouns box fit more things as well? I put in the conjugations for ve/ver/vis, but the conjugations for they/them/theirs didn't fit after that.

I gave you 30 characters. Let me know if that's not enough. :)theleakypen wrote:Oh awesome! And actually, could the pronouns box fit more things as well? I put in the conjugations for ve/ver/vis, but the conjugations for they/them/theirs didn't fit after that.
