@starsandrobots I'm ok with answering the question for identification/appearance, not for any other purpose, generally.
@octal I'm just pausing to be amazed at how casually the question is asked
@starsandrobots or maybe always providing a write-in/comment. But "decline to state" covers a lot, too.
@octal why do they require this to be answered? it's not a medical form
@starsandrobots @octal ..a harmless question.Perhaps its to be culturally sensitive or for statistical purposes.But I could understand ...
@starsandrobots @octal As (I think I said),I can see that now.Other/write-in option seems good solution.
