Glad to see some actual input over the close mindedness that came forth on the previous page.
Now we're getting somewhere.

i want a gender that goes all the way left, and the back around all the round to where right would have been.
i'll put-put my child there as an experiment.
there is an AMA on reddit from a FtMtF she basically legit wanted to trans back which is SUUUPER rare.
this brings up an interesting point that i know everyone will just...*snuggle*...isn't it the case with like letting people be free in their choices, and not diminish them their right to free expression, ect, the new look at identifying with our social-selves...like not indoctrinating your kids to be like, you know, some weird cult baby. well, lol, this 'new look' also expresses itself in how we engender ourselves in societal roles.

From a practical perspective: how do we represent additional genders in a 12 x 11 pixel image where the main defining characteristic is the shirt color? And how do we avoid excluding people without adding an absurd number of one-off choices for every special snowflake than needs accommodation? The best I can envision is an "other" option with a grey shirt and androgynous hairstyle or something, but I have a feeling that even a well-intentioned lumping of all alternative gender identities together like that would just piss off the social justice warriors somehow. Seems easier to just leave "unspecified" as the default, catch-all option.

Speaking as somebody who is regularly accused of being an SJW, a neutral/third gender option is definitely better than nothing. I guess that one would have a white or gray shirt and unstyled long hair.
If you wanted to go further and add transgender markers, they could consist of both blue and pink, i.e. blue at the bottom and pink at the top with styled hair for trans female, pink at bottom and blue at top with short hair for trans male, and so on. Maybe make the lower color strip thinner if possible so the upper stands out more.
colors like this
If you added those three, there would be very little to complain about, and it should be a pretty simple matter getting it done. I bet you won't do it though

transgender is one thing, but these nonbinaries need to pick a side. their symbol shoud be a close up of a Barbie or Ken doll(we wont know), showing their smooth genderless sex area
maybe thas better for the asexuals

We don't think about that too much.

This is exactly what I had in mind, and I agree it could cause some controversy. I'm looking forward to the new feature. When should we expect it?

If you go to the gender option in your account, you will see that they are there.
