another bone-headed LJ policy announcement

[djmermaid]

I wanted to make sure people saw this while it may still be possible for the decision to be changed.

they're going to take away the option for "unspecified gender" in new account signups.

I don't like it. it's discriminatory, unnecessary, and it leaves people out!

I posted a comment over in the change announcement post and am encouraging anyone with a setting other than "(unspecified)" to change to that. tell your friends!

here's the post:
