Got an idea to help make this a better place?

"Preferred" Pronouns & Gender

Post by theleakypen »

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?

That's a really good point. Sure!

Hey people,

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

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. :)
