It strikes me that the requirement for declaring a gender in the registration is onerous. Some people don't want their gender known; others have genders not covered in a simple binary. You'd be surprised how many intersex people there are in the world; and though some transgender people are happy to present themselves on the internet as their gender of choice, others resent being asked to do so; and some may even want to switch identities mid-stream. The whole thing seems intrusive as a required field.
Is this something in your control, or should I take it up with Proboards?

yeah, the fact you can't just not put a gender sucks. I don't think there's anything that can be done about it, but I'll go through the settings and see if there's some option I missed.

Okay, I couldn't find a way to make it so gender isn't mandatory, but I added a custom profile field for preferred pronouns! I hope that helps!
