Arghhhhhhhh! What the hell is becoming of today's world?

So I have registration form that relates to parents signing up for a service and asking for ages of their children. Children are never older than 5 years old.

So, for each child the user specified the child's sex/gender (Boy or girl) and their age.

I'm still in disbelief over my client's request, that is marked "urgent".

I basically need to add to the list of options, as "boy" and "girl" are no enough and the question is now "too limiting".

I apparently need to add several more options including: "prefer not to specify", "geneder neutral", "bigender" and "genderfluid".

I mean how can a child aged 5 or less identify as "gender neutral" or "bigender" - how on earth are they able to decide.

Fine, if you're an adult and signing up to something like Facebook, have your 80 odd options. But for children under 5 how have no idea wtf any of this means, stuff like this really annoys me.

    It's not so much how to implement the request, as that's easy.

    It frustrates because the task is a reflection of the last few years, political correctness etc .

    I know even 2 years a request like the one here would be unheard of.

    Just change from sex/gender to sex and girl and boy will cover all possibilities

    @SgnfcntOverflow Unless it's for some service using language which doesn't differentiate between those, then use biological gender or something like that

    @SgnfcntOverflow there should be an intersex option then. not out of political correction but because it should cover all options including edge cases. and intersex is a scientifically acknowledged edge case.

    regarding the gender. I'm a supporter of having the "other" option. generally, it hurts no one to have it. in fact, sometimes I even use that option if I don't think it's necessary for a service to know my gender.

    @filthyranter I actually agree with this.

    You know how they have those stick figures on bathroom signs?

    Yeah, replace those with dicks and vags - we're in business then. Fuck the words and look in your pants.

    @droo It's not a service as such. It's a signup form for an event. Children get given gifts based upon their gender/age.
