No, I don't mean it that way.
LJ is getting ready to release code that will make your Gender specification at New Account creation a binary choice. Male or Female. That's it. Nothing Else. The "Unspecified" option is being removed.
An excellent blog entry on this issue is here at Synechdochic's Dreamwidth journal. The suggestion is to quickly change your gender to "Unspecified" and then leave respectful feedback to LJ before this code is pushed.
I personally don't have a problem with binary identification, but I know a whole slug of people who do. So this is reposted here in the name of a world that works for everyone.
