Hi Helen, the gender field is currently a free text field - can you explain a bit more what the difference would be and how the new field would be used? Could a patron attribute do the trick?

The gender field on our user registration form for both staff input and self registration are buttons. Currently, Female, Male, Prefer to Self Describe and Prefer not to say. We would like to provide a box next to these buttons if a customer chooses to self describe and they wish to share how they want to be described -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The terms "male" and "female" are biological, and it's pretty insulting to refer to a woman as "female," since it's biologically reductive. Granted, I haven't seen this option in action--it's not part of our Koha installation, and I'm not seeing it in the ByWater demo when I go to create a new patron. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
