Sometimes people when registered did accidenly clicked wrong one gender and must be feature in settings to change gender. But it can change only two times.

It be like this Example:
A girl accidenly got gender male when registered. She found that change gender feature in settings.
Then changed her gender to female.

I don't know where it should be so put it in Other Suggestions.

Good idea, though you can always PM Riako if you put in the wrong gender on accident, or if you're trans. But this would make it easier on Riako, I think, so support.

I think that "Genderless" can be add... some people don't like to have a gender (not me).

I think the genderless idea would be good c:

No support because people will just use that to trick other people and people will just be lying about their gender. And if you get your gender wrong you can always PM Riako.

How would switching genders help someone in any way? Plus it would be easier to Riako because he doesn't have to deal with those who have pressed the wrong button every ten seconds

That's why there is two or three times you can change gender.

No support at all for this suggestion.

If you need to change your gender, then pm Riako. (That's what I wound up doing)

And there's a suggestion that has been around for hiding the gender, so changing this topic to that is just turning it into that suggestion that has been around for a while that is already widely supported.

If there's a way to change your gender two or three times, there are issues that have been brought up with this:
1) Some users will use this to get more attention from others.
2) Things like the "I'm going to be the opposite gender day", which some of my friends already found insensitive and rather rude, will no longer be just a "I'm going to say I'm the opposite gender for the day" but would turn into a "I'll just change my gender for a day" which is actually more insensitive in my opinion.
3) If you made a mistake when signing up, you don't need MULTIPLE times to change your gender, but at the same time I'm sure there will be some users who don't read before clicking "Change Gender" just to see what it does, then they would need to PM Riako to get the proper gender again if it was a limited amounts thing.


All in all, changing genders should be left to Riako. However, hiding genders is suggested here with plenty of discussion on the topic overall. Might be worth your time to read through it ;)

Although, some people may have accidentally clicked the wrong gender or may no longer associate with a gender they clicked previously. However Riako can change the gender upon request so I think it comes down to whether it's a hassle for him or not... No support I'm afraid since the process is already available and it was easy enough for me to just contact Riako. However, it could be more difficult for someone who speaks neither English or German or for someone who finds talking to people rather difficult.
