On Belgian's official documents (and probably other countries too) it's written either X(male), Y(female) or Z(for undefined).

I tought it was funny until I read hurou musuko

I don't mind being called "it" or "that". Just don't make me choose a gender. At least let me chooz something like "not telling, hee-hee!", so that people with a judgmental disposition know to stay the fuck away from me.

I don't get it.

If you're male, you're male.  If you're female, you're female.  If you're transgender (pre-op or post-op), you're the gender you identify with.  For hermaphrodites or ambiguiously genedered persons, I'd say select the gender you identify with.

Because naturally there are only two options. You're in the minority, so you won't like it but you'll have to get used to it; vgchartz is only the beginning of it.

This is the better answer

Does it make you choose? I swear some have no gender.

No, I think a lot don't have an age, but everyone has a gender. That is, if you're refering to people's profile page.

Not all intersex people know which they identify as, thus the crisis.

You f*&^ genderless @#$% !

Are you joking or ?

Why would you care if other people are different than you are?


you need to fix your sarcasm meter.

Ah, good, I'm glad you are joking.

I have dealt with enough super angry people that would have that reaction.  Especially if you have to explain to them their new born kid is 'other.' 

About 2.5 to 5% of the population is born with some of both, or both.  There are enough times where you really can't give one of the two most popular answers.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
