Alternatively, eliminate the gender-identification setting altogether.

A gender neutral option (they/them) would certainly be good to include, but it would also be useful to make gender inclusivity an overall policy for the website that you also make developers aware of, so that they don't hardcode a specific gender into games to avoid individual games failing to be inclusive.

Not all gamers are male.

It shouldn't have to be said, but there it is.

Not only are some female, but some are non-binary and some are fluid. And there are a lot more non male Gamers out there than you may realize.

If you don't wish to program in multiple pronoun options, I suggest that all pronouns be simply replaced with the emerging non-object, nonspecific gender pronouns "they, their, them, theirs."

This language is becoming used in official government documents and many other places, all over the English-speaking world.

Seems like that would be the simplest solution.

AND it would make the board more likely to grow, as it would not only please the many, many people already on the board who are hoping for this, but would ALSO prevent the board from discouraging, literally turning away, those who find themselves being(not so) subtly socially erased & excluded .

PLEASE make this simple, but effective change to improve the inclusive and welcoming potential of the onboard gaming culture.

Thanks! :)

I'd love a neutral "unicorn" option as 4th choice :)

"Do not display" already covers neutral (pronoun replacement by a neutral form if available, as described here: forum.boardgamearena.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21387).

The preferences wording has been changed for more clarity.

"Do not display" does not cover more gender options. It may cover pronoun replacement but it is insulting that you have options for "woman" and "man" but you do not have an option for nonbinary. "Do not display" is not the same thing as nonbinary

merlin they then said: "you do not have an option for nonbinary", probably referrring to the neutral "they/them/their" in English. But there are other languages which don't have this possibility.

cigma, I think merlin they them was referring to the gender options on your profile, not pronouns coded into the games.

I personally think adding more pronoun options in-game would be too much work for the developers to code, and I think it's great that gender-neutral pronouns are an option.

But I agree that the gender options you can choose in your profile are lacking. merlin is right. 'Do not display' is for people like me who don't want the whole internet to know their gender and/or don't think it matters enough to put it online. A 'Nonbinary' option would be for nonbinary people who DO want to share their gender with the internet. It could come with an icon like the male and female options. And changing the way the profile settings work would probably be a lot less work than changing the coding of the games.
