I just signed up, and there isn't an option for agender- which I am. I understand that there's quite a few nonbinary gender identities, and that they change occasionally based on the current conversation, but it is really that hard to add an option that says "other" or "nonbinary"?
Venting a bit.

I understand what you're saying, however I think the reason it asks for only two genders is because a majority of people identify with the main two. Also the creators of the site, like many of us, have to constantly balance different societal views and many people are against the concept proposed here, (I have no idea why however so don't ask me lol). Additionally, a majority of the people on the site just go to the general section and they put one of the two options they most affiliate with. I do agree with your last sentence as well and the best thing for that would be to put other, which suits everyone.

I hear ya, if they won't add the option then they should just let you put in whatever option you want to.

I agree, there should be an 'other' section but with a little box under it where you can type what you'd like.

because after you sign up being forced to pick either one or the other you can't go back in the profile and switch back x-x

I agree, a third gender option is neither radical nor difficult to include. Wish I could have chosen nonbinary.
