LJ Gender policing policy Signal Boost

ETA: see LJ's response (exactly similar to the one I received) here, thanks to sekiun (whoever you are)

from Synedochic at DW via Ithiliana at LJ:

* Gender will be a mandatory field at account creation, and it will be able to appear public on one's profile. (I can't tell if people with existing gender specification will be defaulted to "

Done. Done. Done.

I support the right of another individual to choose or to not choose their gender on the Livejournal profile. However, I would not leave LJ over this. My friends are here, and while I have reconnected with some friends in some other places, I would not want to lose all of my LJ friends to internet confusion.

yeah, i've got a big LJ life- this isn't quite enough yet for me to just pull up stakes. not if in protesting i can make a point.

do you need a DW invitation? i can invite you. once you've set up that account you can just import your whole LJ.

pm me your email, ok if you need an invite.

What will they think of next? And why would it matter to anyone--leave it alone, LJ!

Geez, it's always something....

Right, I just got this response back to my feedback, too.

Thanks, will link in an ETA in my posts.

It's good that they responded so quickly.
