Transgender isn't a third gender, and having it listed as one is kind of offensive. They are men and women just like everyone else. I know it's just a simple and silly poll and people don't mean anything by it, but still. :)

Some of the comments about other people's sexuality really stinks! :no:

It does. It is really depressing - I thought this was a pretty mature forum with enlightened people. On the other hand though, I shouldn't be surprised since going by the location poll, about half the members here are from the U.S. and with how rampant Protestantism is here - especially non catholic variants - it makes sense that some percentage of the members here would be of that type.

(Speaking as an agnostic saved from a childhood mired in a homophobic Baptist hell)

Just thought I'd update this. I can't really remember what I put last time, but after some exploration and experimentation, I can finally say I'm a male who is interested in females. Calling myself "heterosexual" would probably be a step too far, but I am only interested in females and would eventually like a wife and kids :happy:

It was a transgendered person who asked for the option and supplied the language/terminology.

Well can't believe there's not more females into technology and stuff... males overwhelmly dominate technology and science related subjects..

I find it sort of weird, I run IRC networks, a couple over the years, we had some female users , like one or two, and the rest, like 100+ males. The girls never left though, being the only female around... hanging out with a bunch of guys, and you know we were all really retarded. One girl was 14 or younger when we started hanging out, now she's like 22. As an adult she gets hit on and messed with a lot , doesn't seem to bother her. Some of the guys are really retarded and explicit though, man o_o

Probably a wise decision. :p

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
