SailorOfSilence102 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I apologize if moderators here don't like this sort of thing, but I was editing some stuff on my profile, and I noticed the gender options don't make a whole lot of sense. I don't wanna make a big stink out of this, I am just trying to give a suggestion or two, but I don't quite understand why Transgender Male/Female are separated from just Male/Female, well another option is just Gender Non Conforming. Personally, I would prefer if Male/Female were just that, no need to specify if the user is Trans, but I also get that a lot of times in life you need to specify what your assigned sex at birth is and that it's fairly standard. But what I don't get is why the option is GNC, as, well there are some people who identify as that, it's much more of a description then it is the proper term for people who are Non-Binary, which is what I assume Non Conforming is the stand in for a 3rd gender option. I think if you're going to go with more legal standard terms, then you should use Non-Binary (or Third Gender or even just an X). Again, I am not trying to cause a big stink over this, it's just something I found interesting and potentially worth changing if moderators here are interested in such a thing. 3 I have borderline personality disorder, if my posts ever come off as aggressive or word vomit-y to you, please let me know.

This is a fair critique, and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Looking at the back end, we can add and delete options from that particular profile field. Here's what I'm thinking to change it to, but I'll open it up here for feedback: Female Male Non-binary Prefer not to say Also, would people like to see a "pronouns" field added?

EJ_Barlik Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Since we are here, I'd like to put in a vote for not listing any gender of any kind. I appreciate all-inclusiveness and all, but I don't see why it matters on a board like this one. Good logo design, good discussion on issues, good anything in sports, should not be relegated based on a gender. In the public forum (life), we've seen all manner of people be good at running businesses, playing different sports, being sports broadcasters, etc. I guess I get if this were a board discussing something like medical issues, how knowing a person's gender/preferred identification is relevant. But I think sports crosses boundaries, as does logo design, as does cooking, etc. And I would hope/think/feel we don't need to care about one's background as a person to know if an opinion is valid based on the topic at hand, or the facts present in the public space. We know (or should know) when to accept criticism/dismiss criticism of an idea, concept, etc. Sports in general, and design takes all kinds. (Remember the movie, What Women Want with Mel Gibson, Helen Hunt). Men, Women, and non-binary (for those who identify as such) should be able to have differing opinions, and do it with civility. In every discussion I've ever had on this board, I never felt that my sense of self (identification) was ever relevant, regardless of if my opinion was respected or not, or right or wrong. Hopefully, that is something we can all agree on. 2 4 I just love penguins......always dressed for the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion, but I think there is too much potential for problems. I wish I could say it wouldn't be an issue in our community and that no one would use it as reason to cause trouble or attack people, but I know better. This isn't exactly a political issue, but it has a lot of the same pitfalls that we've seen with politics over the years. I could be wrong, but I'm probably not. 8 All roads lead to Dollar General.

IceCap Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Sex/Gender has been an option on message boards as long as I've been visiting them. I'm fine with modifying the field to have "Male," "Female," "Non-binary," and "Prefer Not to Say" options. But I really don't think a pronouns field is necessary, or warranted. 1 PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 After discussion, we've decided to fully remove the gender field of profiles and will not move forward with a pronouns field. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorOfSilence102 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 That's fair, and I understand. I wasn't trying to impose on anyone or on a forum, especially one that I'm new too, I was just curious about the wording and terminology. Sorry to anyone who wanted the gender option to stay. 1 I have borderline personality disorder, if my posts ever come off as aggressive or word vomit-y to you, please let me know.

BBTV Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If there were to be a pronouns field, it would make more sense for it to be in the area where the avatars are (in place of or in addition to "member title") since I assume very few people actually click into someone's profile to get information before replying to them, but that way it's displayed right there and you can refer to them real-time as you're replying to the post (there was just an example where "him" or "his" was innocently used incorrectly, but maybe wouldn't have had the preferred pronouns been right there on the person's screen.) I don't personally have a need for a pronouns field, but if it's ever reconsidered for the people that do want it, that may be a better place to put it. (though I'm not sure how/if that would work on mobile). EDIT: The members who would like a pronouns field could also simply edit their member title to read "Pronouns they/them" or whatever their preferred ones are. Maybe it doesn't even require a new field. 2 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

It may be because people don't know to. If/when it becomes more normalized to use that space for that purpose, that might change. Also, maybe explicitly calling out "Pronouns: they/them" could help (or not... not sure). I'm pretty conscious of these things but I would never have thought to look there either. Then there's the mobile aspect of it - I'm not sure there's a solution there. But I'm not going to check everyone's profile before replying to them, so I'm just trying to come up with a compromise that doesn't require the mods to do anything in the backend and at least helps for people on desktop. While I am the CCSLC's authority on CTE (Infrared can back me up on that one), I'd have no problem deleting that and throwing pronouns there if it was something that we as a collective decided to try. 1 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

BroncoBuff Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 When I log in, I'm greeted with a notice "Your Profile is 0% Complete." So I click 'complete my profile,' and get a dialog with a couple blank spaces (I don't have Instagram or Snapchat) and list my favorite teams, which I do. BUT . . . When I click 'Next' I'm booted out of the Profile editor, and it still says my profile is 0% complete. Where should I go, what should I click? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruhammydude Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Why does this site still have a search limit in 2023? You have to wait ~15-30 seconds between every search you make, which I feel has been ongoing for forever on this site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
