lol true but I was using those letters as an example that you can put anything you so choose in the status line. its like a facebook status where you write what ever you want others to know.

anyone that wants to share their gender or race or sex orientation or what ever can find a way they are comfortable putting it with in their profiles or their status..

another example is peoples profiles. the profile page has a tab called ....about me....anyone that wants to share their gender, sex race, age what ever can do so by writing in their profile. it only takes a few seconds for someone to click on a members name and then click on their "about me" tab to learn all that member wants to share about their self.

and like someone else already stated ...a member who really wants to know other members genders can send that member a private message and ask them.
