If so, we need a non mandatory field for age since some people just need to know the age of the other person. People can post age on their info page but I heard it is too much hassle go look there so that should also be with every post.

If it is so important to put gender on every post instead of those who want it putting it in their bio, age is the same important!!

Actually when I think of it, diagnoses are quite important as well. Maybe we should squeeze those in with every post as well.
