| I feel like this being a missing feature will turn a lot of potential roblox players awa from the game if they only have the choice between a female character or male character when they first sign up. |

| but if I don't identify as a male or female and I see that roblox doesnt allow the choice to be neutral I wouldn't be playing the game. |

| skullsten I just think that not having that option from the start will turn off a lot of potential players from even creating an account and learning that they can edit the appearance of their character as soon as they sign up. Or if roblox could just specify that the character's gender isnt permanent/relevant it would really help. |

Pointless and scriptable It wont turn anyone away, even if thats just a small amount. Tons of other websites dont have this and they are doing fine. If it does turn someone away, they wont last long here anyway. It just wastes time for the team at roblox and also its scriptable.
Final decision 101% no support |

Adding a bald character with a shirt and labeling it as "gender neutral" would take 20 minutes.
And it's not like thats a huge demand. I have plenty of friends who are questioning their gender who signed up to roblox only to be scared away by the fact their is no gender neutral character, I had to tell them myself that they can change the appearance of their character straight away. The fact that roblox even tell you the gender you pick wont matter since you can change the appearance of your character anyway is also a minor problem that can easily be fixed by working on the signup process a little bit.

OMG this "other gender" AGAIN!? Ok do this, when creating an account and you have doubt of your gender, pull your pants, and check if theres something sticking out, if there is, put male, if theres not, put female. SO SIMPLE.

(as everyone else said too, it doesn't matter what you pick, just make how you look like gender neutral)

clearly, the starter avatar represents the oppression of the doctor when assigning a gender and it your job to fix that and so reinforces your standing in the non-binary gender space and therefore roblox is helping you cope with life, preventing unfair treatment or oppression in the future of your life be grateful about it ᵃˡˢᵒ ᵍᵒ ᵇᵃᶜᵏ ᵗᵒ ᵗᵘᵐᵇˡʳ |

still not changing the fact that people with gender identity problems are usually getting scared away by having roblox imply that the gender you pick for your character is going to be permanent.

You all make the entire website look stupid when you go on the forums spewing ignorant hate speech about something you don't understand. However, making a "Gender Neutral" would not work well because you have to understand that this game is intended for children. I am not saying children can identify as other genders, but if a child sees that as an option they might ask their parents about it, and just the fact that parents don't want to have that conversation with their child is basically the sole reason that same-gender marriage has been illegal in so many states for so long (was basically the reason prop 8 wasn't allowed in California). A better option would be for ROBLOX to just remove the gender choice altogether and go back to how it was where everyone who starts would get the same things. The problem here is females sometimes want to be able to instantly make themselves appear as a female and without the proper options available from the beginning, they might never play the game again thus decreasing the amount of female players. Therefore I believe the solution is to remove the gender option and just give people a lot of starter customization items for their character to choose from and equip when the account is made, and once the customization is complete the starter items they chose are what they get to keep, and they can buy the other starter items for small amounts of ROBUX later on. But, my good idea won't be noticed anyways since this thread will die soon.

i am talking about roblox, not real life. people's real world lives isnt a point of discussion right now.
the simple matter of the fact is, when you sign up to roblox, theres a direct implication that the gender you choose is permanent. it doesnt say anywhere during the signup process that the gender you do end up choosing wont affect your experience in the longrun, it just says "pick a gender" and you have to choose. now this is an issue because it does in fact turn people away from the game, if i dont fully identify as either gender, and i get the impression that this is a significant choice within the game (keep in mind theres nowhere on the signup page that tells me how the character editor works) i am probably just going to turn away from roblox and find something else to play. there is a simple fix for this problem, tweak the signup process to give better implication that the gender you pick wont be relevant, or just add a neutral character to choose. either way, both solutions are very simple, and easy to accomplish, and considering there is no real negative in doing so i dont see why it would be an issue. |

execuse me?
I identify as multi-species jellyfish and this extremely offends me. Why does roblox assume I am a human? There should be a choice for me to chose jellyfish. or species neutral.

(This time something serious)
The targeted age group for ROBLOX is like less than twelve. People at that age don't question their gender; or atleast I hope they don't. It doesn't matter. This is literally a childerns game with a group of teens tacked on. And if a signup page on a children games websites scares you away you would have to be extremely spineless. |

| No support, Roblox should pull 3.0 entirely. Go back to the 1.0 blocky gender-neutral avatar. |
