likewise, it could be displayed on a user's profile, maybe around or between the username and trainerlevel, and it could be changed by an option in a user's settings

I am also extremely shy, and it wasn't until fairly recently that I've been more open about who I am outside of my non-physical existence. I can completely understand wanting a gender-neutral setting.
I also understand those people who do not fit into one sexual category and feel discriminated for being forced to put themselves into one. I don't see the need for a preference option though. This seems totally irrelevant because this site has nothing to do with dating. (Ie, Prefers: men, prefers: women. This was suggested somewhere on this post or Nessy's; I forget which and where.) It would make people like me uncomfortable- I don't date and have zero intention to and would really rather be left alone about that. It also seems like just extra coding that could easily be put in an About Me anyways, and usually is.
(Don't worry, Nessy dear, Cake is most certainly not a lie. :))

Sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable when showing my gender or call me She/her pronouns. And I couldn't get annoyed if somebody called by the wrong pronoun.
I also don't support the ? symbol in Users who Hide their gender, It just sounds offensive

I've recently come to terms with the fact that I'm gender-neutral/agender, and although I don't really mind what pronouns people use for me, it would be nice to be able to choose a genderless option instead of simply male or female. Many other sites either have an option like this or don't require you to select a gender at all - it would add to the friendly and accepting atmosphere of PH to allow people the freedom of complete gender-nonconformity if they so wish.

So basically this thread might as well fall down. (I also described in that thread why being gender-less is unneeded.)

I do believe you are ignoring that there are people, including myself, that don't identify with either gender.
For me a genderless or "hidden" option might make people ask me my preferred pronouns, sure, but I'm much more comfortable being asked then having someone assume one way or the other.
It isn't useless to ME. And not to anyone else who identifies differently either.
And funny thing I've noticed on every site I've been on with a genderless option - everyone calls me by my preferred they/them pronouns.
Because if you don't know, that's the polite thing to do, not only online but in real life - if you don't know how someone identifies, you use they/them pronouns. Easy as that.
Most other sites that don't have genderless options have been working on adding them in. Facebook has it, Flight Rising, and several other sites I can't think of.
Heck, even the forms at my doctor's office have non-binary gender options so the doctor doesn't use the wrong pronouns.

Riako did implement the chainging thing, but as far as hiding your gender, I don't see the bad part of it.
Sure, there will be people who spend the first few days being jerks with it, but in the long run, you are just allowing non-conforming individuals to hide the little bubble so that if they don't fit into the "male or female" demographic, they don't feel labeled.
---
And if it's such a big deal to you that someone might ask your pronouns if your bubble was hidden, just don't hide your own bubble???

I would just like the option of the genderless icon. Because i am genderless and its kinda unsettling to see the female symbol under my name.

It would be perfect for agender / Gender fluid (hi) / anyone who isn't feeling good by selecting boy or girl.
full suport.

I can support this, definitely. I know people I chat with who would appreciate this a lot.

Either hiding or a ''genderless'' icon like the legendary pokemon or other genderless pokemon have would be nice.
