Please have a look at this image of dropdown options for Gender options for an app - https://imgur.com/a/kGdjApT
is this acceptable? Is there something that is wrong? What can be improved?
I've tried to ask this in the LGBT subreddit and the web dev subreddit and even the "I'm too afraid to ask" one. All of them removed my post. The LGBT subreddit removed my post stating that it was hate speech, without explaining the reason for it. Now I'm more curious as to what the legitimate reasoning is behind such a perception.
Was it the word transgender being included in the options that is hateful? The icon? The colors used?
I need actionable responses so that we can improve the design. I'm genuinely not trying to offend anyone.
