Gender Identification
With more and more people not identifying as either male or female, it would be good to add at least a third option of "Other".

I was glad to see that I could hide the gender requirement, HOWEVER the system seems to still assign a gender to every profile, it's just hidden. I strongly recommend that gender not be a required field so that there's not incorrect info living hidden in the background.
We agree- planning to update this very soon.
Even when the gender field is disabled (as we have done), if your member belongs to an organization where it is still enabled, it will enforce the gender response in the Member Portal. Our subscription is live however we haven't gone live with our members so we're very happy this is in development.I would propose changing the field name to 'Gender Identity' as recommended in Inclusive Language Guidelines.
Hi there! Thank you for submitting. We are currently developing this and it should be out soon! There will be 3 options (Male, Female, Prefer not to disclose). And the field will default to blank if gender is not selected.
This has been completed and deployed to production. CLICK HERE FOR THE RELEASE NOTES.
