Able to Change Gender
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Implemented → Able to Change GenderIt be like this Example:
A girl accidenly got gender male when registered. She found that change gender feature in settings.
Then changed her gender to female.
I don't know where it should be so put it in Other Suggestions.
If you need to change your gender, then pm Riako. (That's what I wound up doing)
And there's a suggestion that has been around for hiding the gender, so changing this topic to that is just turning it into that suggestion that has been around for a while that is already widely supported.
If there's a way to change your gender two or three times, there are issues that have been brought up with this:
1) Some users will use this to get more attention from others.
2) Things like the "I'm going to be the opposite gender day", which some of my friends already found insensitive and rather rude, will no longer be just a "I'm going to say I'm the opposite gender for the day" but would turn into a "I'll just change my gender for a day" which is actually more insensitive in my opinion.
3) If you made a mistake when signing up, you don't need MULTIPLE times to change your gender, but at the same time I'm sure there will be some users who don't read before clicking "Change Gender" just to see what it does, then they would need to PM Riako to get the proper gender again if it was a limited amounts thing.
All in all, changing genders should be left to Riako. However, hiding genders is suggested here with plenty of discussion on the topic overall. Might be worth your time to read through it ;)
