In many video games, there are only two options for your character's gen.der. Male, or female. One or the other.

In real life, such matters are not so simple, which can become frustrating to individuals who, not fitting cleanly into "one or the other", want to take a third option. Roblox claims to be a welcoming place to LGBTQ individuals and people of all gen.ders. Let's take this one step further and create a third choice, "Other", for the gen.der selection in the Account Options. That way, everyone can truly fit in.

I would like to correct you on that point. The "T" in LGBTQ stands for "Transgen.der". This is an umbrella term for all individuals who do not identify as either Male or Female. I would ask that you do some research on the subject before you proceed to attack it.

you should do more research on trans people

they identify as one gender but are born in the body of another

they would still address themselves as a male or female op

@Jamkid: I would correct you again. Transe.xual refers to those who were born as one gender but identify as the opposite and with to live as such. Transgen.ders include such. You're confusing terms, and that's understandable. They're similarly worded, but are different things.

@0rka: It would be very helpful. Are you aware of how many times people have checked my profile for my "real gen.der", when I've told them repeatedly that I am neither male nor female?

@Binomial: I don't know. It would be interesting to think up an androgynous option, though!

"T refers to those who were born as one gender but identify as the opposite and with to live as such.T include such"

even though the name of it has gender in there it is not a gender itself

its an orientation

meaning when given a choice between gender in a game they would choose the one they chose to live as i.e a male or female

It would be interesting, yes. Maybe the default before 2011 or something? I'm not really sure what they'd do.

@jamkid: I am going to ignore you until you do some research on the subject. You are confusing terms again, one might say almost deliberately.

I'm pretty sure you're the one confusing terms here

An orientation is a person's basic attitude, beliefs, or feelings in relation to a particular subject or issue.

A gender is the state of being male or female or both (The both being a A herma not transgender).

Also I see you are in the group true colours

Why not ask someone in the T section of it to post whether transgender is an orientation or gender?

And I just got a pm from someone in true colours in the t section

Looks like op was wrong.


Probably. I just like to think of it as a process though.

it is not that hard. you just pick which one is more suitable to you, and if you don't want people to know which gender you are, delete your gender-based hats.

I'm pretty sure "Other" people have more problems on their head than having their gender on a website made for kids, that nobody really sees your gender. >:I

OP is this like really needed? Never has roblox openly said they support LBGT community anyway, they've just never really banned them for obvious reasons. I've seen no other MMO or just simple game that had a Tran Gender option. OP needs to get off your high throne, no one else does it, it's not like Roblox is going against it while all these other games are doing it.

No Support... I have nothing against LGBQT, but I don't feel this is needed. Even though some people believe they were born the wrong gender, they still have one. The only purpose genders serve on ROBLOX is what hats you start with, and if you're a girl you start with a girl torso.

only sexists would need this

why register as a boy or girl in the first place? you're only going to get harassed for being not a girl.
