This topic is old and has been declined but I feel that it is important to say this. This topic should be reconsidered. Non-binary people exist, so why are WoX sites limiting characters to female or male? How hard would it be to add a third option where a user could describe their gender (like an other box)? Like Mel commented above, there are lots of people who don't check PTs or backstories before interacting with another user, meaning they are going to use the pronouns that fit the gender the user was forced to select. This can be extremely damaging to people. I don't think anybody would enjoy being referred to by the wrong name or pronouns. Also, it is absolutely realistic for an eleven year old to understand their gender. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. I adore the WoP community and we are all very accepting, but I wish that our registration reflected this. I'm certain that there are users out there who planned on joining but didn't because they were forced to pick from two genders that do not describe them at all. Once again, I believe this topic should be reconsidered to expand WoP's inclusivity. Everyone deserves a chance to experience the magic.
