Hello all,

I'm a member here and I mostly lurk but I just thought I'd pop in and let know know that TrendWeight.com changed their gender stuff when emailed them about it.

I signed up and I was forced to choose either male or female to continue - I'm nonbinary so that wasn't going to work, so I emailed support and explained the situation. The person who emailed back asked for advice, we talked through some options, and it turned out the site only asked for gender so it knew which third person pronouns to put on people's profiles.

Fast-forward two days or so, and the developer has removed the gender question entirely as it was unnecessary, and replaced it with a question about pronoun preferences, with three options - he, she, and they. The default is they, and you can change it any time.

Here it is in a blog post with some screencaps.

I would highly recommend TrendWeight.com anyway if you've got a Fitbit or Withings account, because it makes elegant graphs that let you know whether you're losing weight overall in amongst the daily fluctuations, and it does it really efficiently, too.

So there we are, I thought this would fit in well here. I hope you're all doing okay!
