I think that it would be useful to have 'male' or 'female' written near a member's name, like location and other information (if one accepts to publish it). Sometimes it's difficult to guess it from the nickname (at least for me ), but sometimes it could be useful to know it when you answer.

I would be fine with that. I notice that age does not appear even though I set the setting sot show my age.

people are people, we don't all fit in little boxes... i'm glad people have to guess my gender/preferences... the fewer labels we put on people, the better we are likely to treat them~

These are available in vbulletin I think:

but I haven't a clue how it would be able to work here, with LGBTQ and such??? Maybe they have an idea of what to use?

If this were to become a thing, it would need an option for gender as other, neither, both to include non-binary individuals.

I don't want to be tricked into treating someone different because I knew their gender. It happens for most of people and not knowing is a better way I think.

Thanks for the suggestion!

However, we don't list demographic information as a part of a member's post, and don't think it's relevant in most cases when formulating a reply (just like we don't list age, race, religion, ethnic background, etc.).

Best,
DocJohn

I didn't think about this...but maybe you are right

I think gender is very relevant when in a chat room. I hate when I think I am talking to a female and am excited to have "girl talk" to find out that that person is a male.
