I think this poll should have more options for nonbinary people
Again, this poll is to confirm whether people were born as a male or female, not to know which sexual orientation people classify as

um. that was really transphobic, but I guess you don't understand? Transgender people were literally born as their gender. I, a transgender boy, was born a boy. And being trans is about your gender and not your sexuality... so??? I really don't get what you mean?
if you really wish to know what people were assigned at birth it should have been stated in the first post. Because "how many people on here are male/female" doesn't mean that.
This poll is also from 2013.

Sorry, wasn't trying to be Transphobic nor am I usually. Just stating what the poll was originally intended for, albeit you are right, now that I think about it, it makes a bit confusing since the creator of the thread didn't state specifically which one in the title.
Also, I think what Caius means is that the OP was intending the thread to only have two options when it was made, not thinking about the other ones that could have been added at the time.

yeah i get that they didn't include more because they didn't know or something, but i still think there should have been more options.
Is it really necessary to create such an issue out of this? They were simply asking how many male or female users the forum has. It's a pretty normal question that everybody can answer, and if you really don't want to answer it, then don't. There's no need to have 50 options for every non-binary description.

This pretty much. The entire massive labeling thing has been around for a while, but it didn't pick up as much momentum as it has now until around last year.

erm. so just because it didn't gain momentum until recently it's not supposed to be anyones problem? I *fully* get that it was the OP that determined what was listed, that doesn't mean there shouldn't be additional options, it simply means that they could use editing in by moderators if thats what some people desire.
also as Len said, us trans people have been around for a good 50 years now visibly, so saying that it's 'just picking up momentum now' is pretty hurtful stuff and frankly poking fun at a minority which under any other circumstance would have people yelling for sure. Please kindly go educate yourself on history before quoting it

yes it is necessary to add at least an option saying "other". that's the least anyone could do. not everyone can answer "are u male/female" because they are neither. it would be so easy to have 3 options and it wouldn't hurt anyone, so why are you being all likie if you dont like it then leave!!! because it'd be so easy to just add another option.
smh are you saying that being trans is a new trend? it's great that people begin to label and find themself more and more! But transgender individuals have been around for thousand of years (even tho the movement hasn't been around for just as long lol). It's not a good excuse that the thread was started in 2013 lol

I don't need an education in gender, I just haven't familiarized myself with each and every sexual orientation yet. I know the basics of each one and what they mean, and accept people for being born the way they are and all, but I don't HAVE to know the specifics of each one and whether they count as a whole new gender or not. And saying to 'get out of your sights' is highly rude and ignorant. I wasn't planning on trading with you anyway, so no harm done. I'm not transphobic at all; I was just trying to help calm things down, but looks like you wanna spread some hate at me for little to no reason at all.
Anyway, if you want to discuss it more you can PM me about it. I'm not going to comment anymore on it here, because arguing on threads is something I'm light-years past. Jas0n and Caius were simply trying to explain why the OP made the thread the way they did, and why it's not being changed, but it seems like all you guys are giving them is hate and not trying to understand their viewpoints, so I'm done. If myself, Jas0n, and Caius are willing to acknowledge where you guys are coming from, but you can't acknowledge where we are coming from, then it's clear to me that this isn't something that should be discussed in a thread like this. Especially one that's about genders.
TL;DR Let's stop discussing this and leave that discussion to the LGBTQA thread where it belongs. This is unnecessary drama in this thread and should be avoided seeing as the OP made a simple question at the time that still stands today, and that is the purpose of this thread.
@Hamusuta: XD, I had a good laugh at your post; good job on keeping things light, buddy.

wow. thats really unneccessary. why do you have to make fun of trans people and our struggles, it is seriously so hurtful, rude and transphobic.

Are you actually serious right now? Lmao babe don't come for weave declaring your struggles, I too am transgender and was making a light hearted remark whilst you were off in the battle field spouting odds on an animal crossing forum. I was lightening the situation because obviously you take too much offence to everything you read. It was a joke.

i dont get why u as a trans person would think it was funny to make such a joke. it doesn't matter if it's an animal crossing forum, people are still being excluded and you think it's fitting to make a joke about it?
Okay listen, I apologise if you took offence to what I said. But it is ridiculous that you did so, I get that the whole transitioning process is a struggle but to take offence and attack other people at every little detail is also ridiculous. Please lighten up.
