Heckpupper Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 I have noticed, that even now as year 2019 is coming upon us, you can still only select either male or female genders as displayed on your profile. In my opinion this is highly disrespectful towards LGBTQ+ community members that are just as interested in flight simming as we, CIS males are. I urge the forum moderators/admins to have a look at that. Regards 5 1 1

I urge the forum moderators/admins to have a look at that. Regards I agree with you in some point - but honestly the question shouldn't be - male or female - we are all humans! Humans with lots of different facets, but still - human beings. That's all we have in common. I don't bother if somebody is male, female, gay, transgender, blue, black, red, white or green. I care about people. And everybody is welcome to share the same passion I have. I really understand what you mean and trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I've got two sons. I love them most and from the deepest of my heart. And now, one of my beloved sons is going to be a beloved daughter. So I know exactly how life can change. Btw. even if I "lost" a son, I found yet a daughter - and she loves playing tactical games and shooters, so no hugging puppies etc. Cheers 1 2

What I don't understand is your complaint that there are only two genders to choose from in the profile. It would appear that one can choose to display what ever gender one prefers in their profile. If you are not another snowflake trolling activist, perhaps you could explain what genders you would like to choose. .
Operatsiya_Ivy Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Believe it or not, there are people who care about this. If you aren't one of them, why do you get so worked up over this? And whats even more puzzling to me is how you use language which is interlinked with the alt-right movement. Quite embarrassing. It certainly isn't going to be problematic to change. 1 1

As I asked in my original post, "perhaps you could explain what genders you would like to choose" or in other words, how would you change the profile page? What exactly do you want done? By the way, since you are unaware of who I am, you should know that trying to shame me by implying I have facist leanings or that I am homophobic doesn't work with people of my generation! I might just be a gay-baiting, gun hugging, right wing red neck and take pride in that or then again, I might not be! ?️? 1

I'd like to see more options being presented for the users. As it stands in your profile, you're a male. Unfortunately, male and female are the only options to choose from, which isn't up to standards of this day and age - I believe that flight sim community is mature, tolerant and inclusive enough to allow other genders express themselves as well. I'd love if there was more options to choose from, such as: - Nonbinary -Genderfluid -Polygender -Transwoman -Transman -Transfeminine -Transmasculine Those are just a few examples of many more to chose from - our world, our bodies and minds are so diverse it would be silly to lock ourselves within just few terms. #wingsforeveryone

Last time I met a trans person, they referred to themselves as being a man, then clarified that they were transgender. They didn’t refer to themselves as being a “transman”. That's why many options should be included. Everybody wants to express themselves in their own way, and all those options should be provided. Not every transsexual person refers to themselves the same way. 2

I don't care what you are or what "leanings" you have but making use of right wing vocabulary is very problematic in my opinion. 1
[PFR]Sarpalaxan Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Maybe a Third option called Other or something like that would suffice. Otherwhise there could be just a Space where you write in what you would like. But since this is a Flightsim Forum why do we even need this. Just Change it to Jäger, Bomber, and Jabo.

At least the OP had the honesty to state what changes they wished to be made; you Sir? are another snowflake trolling activist who tries to intimidate others into acknowledging and approving your supposed higher morality and superior world view! Of course you only do so for the greater good of all God's children and not because of any self-esteem or ego issues.

I am trying to explain to you that the way you are expressing yourself here is making you look like an ass and the chance is high that you will get associated with groups that use this terminology like the alt-right. So as long as you are fine with that, keep doing what you are doing. As far as i am concerned you are just a flame baiting troll who gets upset about things that doesn't affect him. For the sake of the topic of this thread i am not going to reply to you anymore. 1 1
