I know that some people that find it offensive that Roblox only has Male or Female as the genders when signing up.

I think it would be less offensive if Roblox would include an "other" gender for people who don't define themselves as a make or female (like non-binary or transgender people). Anyone agree with me?

I'm on the fence with this one.

I don't see what all the complaints are about, to be honest. The male/female selection is primarily there so that ROBLOX can award gender specific items to beginning players - It is not a setting which is exposed to the public, and has no bearing on anything that ROBLOX or developers do.

True, but they could give both gender-specific packages to the player or none. They are free anyway, so they could just go buy them off the catalog.

Unless they're a hermaphrodite, they're one or the other.

And hermaphrodites usually get doctors to fix that!

GG. Next!

This already exists when signing up for a Google account, so why not Roblox? It's not fair for transgenders to have to constrict themselves into one of two categories.

if 'other players get both packages, then there would be spam of that gender because its not limited to just one package

There are no such thing as other genders. If they're trans then they can pick whatever gender they think they are. Point is you're still either a man or a woman, so pick male or female and stop asking for useless features.

Well, not all people that don't consider themselves male or female are transgender.

Many, like non binary: http://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Non-binary
or Bigender: http://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Bigender
shouldn't have to identify as a male or female on roblox.

i dont get the people who still think gender is the biological aspect of things

its the social aspect

theoretically there can be an infinite number of genders, and there are plenty in practice

I have friends who are non-binary and bigender they were not at all offended at having to pick male or female once they learned that it was just giving them a package. All they cared about was being able to design their character as how they felt. From my friends they seem okay with ROBLOX not having an other or something along those lines which means I am okay with it.

No support. Why can't transgenders just pretend to be 100% girl or 100% boy?

So here's an actual argument against this suggestion:

The male and female genders receive a package to their respect genders. If you're "other", what would you get? "Other" genders look either male or female in appearance, so whatever they look like, they should get those packages.

A counterargument could be "well they just want the option". People are never satisfied with what they get. They will want hats, and how exactly do you cater to these people that either look boy or girl? They didn't accept the male and female genders/packages, so then what? I'm pretty sure I do NOT need to explain why they should get their own packages (their organs).

No support. Just no. If an "other" appears male, they should choose male. if they appear female, they should choose female, regardless of whatever organs they have.
