Not again, LiveJournal...

So it seems LiveJournal wants to oblige everyone creating new accounts to specify their gender. One thing I really don't like doing is giving out my gender online, and I know people have different reasons for not specifying their gender, some of them very personal. Let's hope some feedback can get them to reverse this change I know people who are prepared to leave LJ on account of this, and I really don't want to have to chase all over the Internet trying to keep in touch with them.

EDITED TO ADD: It seems they're also removing the "unspecified" option. This does not bode well at all...

Turned out better than we'd feared
