dragojustineThe lj big bosses are being stupid again. Raise your hand if surprised. Full rundown, with linakage, at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
synecdochic's here.
This time? Removing the "unspecified" gender option and making gender mandatory at signup. I'm going to assume I don't need to go on at length about the at least three reasons this is really fucking annoying at best, discriminatory and marginalizing at worst? Right, good.
Please consider doing some or all of the following:
1. Changing your gender to "unspecified"
2. Sending feedback (sample here)
3. Signal-boosting
ETA: Dude, that was fast. This change will not go live.
In happier news, everybody with even the slightest affection for Christmas music needs to watch this
I have an itty-bitty crush on the dreidel guy.
