      This request represents step one of a plan developed from this forum discussion.

      The reason for splitting "other" is that it's not a very respectful term to use for people who don't identify with one of the binary genders. Also "not applicable" is more correct for entities where the concept of genders makes no sense.

      Additional parts of this request (should some of these be created as separate issues?):

      • When not selecting "not applicable" you should have the ability to select one, two or all of the other options.
      • When selecting "non-binary/genderqueer" you should get a hint to specify the gender further in the annotation if you know it. When doing so the editor should prefix it with a standard "gender identity:" so we can easily search for all entities where this is used and change it when the next step is live.

       

       PS: This should apply to artists and editors btw.
