    I want to support another not binary gender instead of M or F only.I can change prompt string message "put you gender/sex (M/F)" to "put you gender/sex (M/F/L/G/B/T/X)" at text.datI see that ;uedit can put any others characters than M/F also console uedit tool just work.But at new user prompt, these answer seems to be limited for M and F characters only![image](https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/uploads/9d7afa47fb74d43fc95a7e3e136a3a6d/image.png)Scfg must be update too.![image](https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/uploads/d84caa08f4e71594a99a6ed41a74b9d1/image.png)![image](https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/uploads/25312076079f86614425b80c10eb735b/image.png)Thanks!!

    Maybe, and bare with me here ---Maybe this could be part of a conversation to do away with gender entirely? Or at least options based on gender? Does anyone actually have things set for people of specific genders?

    The sysop already has the option of *not* prompting for sex/gender for new users. And of course, with scripting, a sysop could add prompts for all kinds of personal details we don't normally prompt for (sexual orientation, race, or whatever).But gender/sex is a common enough registration question I think it should remain "built-in".

    Yes i want to use the builit option. Of course I can skip it and do it on js. But, what is the impediment to adding a few more letters to the prompt? This does not change anything to the current setups and gives options to people who do not identify with the sex M or F.
