In March 2010, Angie Byron proposed that the Drupal.org profile page have the gender options expanded to "Male, female, transgender, other" to be more inclusive of people who do not conform to a gender binary. (See also: Transgender, LGBT issues) The original proposal: Expand options in the "Gender" profile field Additional proposals quickly followed: * Change "gender" field to "preferred pronoun" field * Add an "About me" textarea to user profile pages (and potentially remove the Gender field in favor of it) * Image:Drupal-gender.png

  • In March 2010, Angie Byron proposed that the Drupal.org profile page have the gender options expanded to "Male, female, transgender, other" to be more inclusive of people who do not conform to a gender binary. (See also: Transgender, LGBT issues) The original proposal: Expand options in the "Gender" profile field Discussion ensued, with various arguments being put forward in favour or against the plan. Some people preferred other options, some preferred that the question not be asked at all, some maintained that a male/female binary should be sufficient, and some claimed that if demographic information was desired, then race and income should also be on the profile page. Additional proposals quickly followed: * Change "gender" field to "preferred pronoun" field * Add an "About me" textarea to user profile pages (and potentially remove the Gender field in favor of it) * The original proposal was implemented fairly quickly, which may have been fortunte because debate stalemated further action, and may have stalemated all action.
