[quote name="melorious" date="2014-06-24 11:42:58"]I hate to be a complainer, but most of these changes are great- my only complaint being that I have a learning disability that makes it hard to distinguish the symbols sometimes, so it actually takes me a bit longer to do searches and such. Male female worked better because female is a longer word, and thus was easier for me to process.
But overall, thank you for all your hard work on the site and making a place that is so enjoyable! And good luck to the departing mod.[/quote]
@melorious:
"Male" and "Female" are still listed as options within the dropdown menu. Only the header has been changed. :)

Why does it bother you, just curious? There was a whole thread in the suggestions forum about how people disliked that is said "Gender" and preferred either "sex" or the mars/venus symbols. It's not a big deal to me, but it was important to other users.

The drop down list still says 'male' or 'female'. Nothing changed except for the drop down menu labeling.

I am the only one around here, who is rather annoyed by this change?[/quote]
Not the only one. I'm really curious why this was something that even needed to be changed in the first place?
The change to everyone having a dance party around my lair every time I get a new dragon is an amazing one, though. THANK YOU.

@Kjarik There's at least two of us. It's bothering my OCD something fierce, not to mention it feels like an excess of zeal more than anything. I mean, [i]one[/i] of the definitions of "gender" is that of biological sex. A lot of websites use "gender" rather than "sex".
Unless we're talking about a person choosing their own gender, where I agree a sliding scale would be far more appropriate than a binary (or a binary + the generic and rather offensive "other").
But I digress. What I *really* meant to post is:
