Of course its a train
I don't know the context of your work so I can't say to what effect you were categorizing genders. Maybe it was in some backend spreadsheet, used only for research. I can understand that. But if you put a form in front of me that asks if my gender is "trans-female" but not "female" I'm going to feel exposed, even offended.

Hey folks,
This thread had become a bit of a cesspool so I went through and deleted comments I thought were shitty. Censorship? You betcha, bigots! Sorry you had to learn this way but everything is political and refusing to engage with those politics is a form of privilege 🙃
If you are in a position to consider writing forms about gender, consider the Hall of Gender Forms.
As developers, as people doing the work of software, it is our responsibility to refuse to perform unethical labor, and to consider the ethics of our acts as deeply as we can. If your boss or workplace asks you to build discriminatory or otherwise harmful systems, you have an obligation to refuse. Take responsibility for the consequences of your actions and confront your inevitable ignorance.
Have a good one, Diana

How is furry capitalist? The fandom is based almost exclusively around content and characters created by members. The artwork and costumes are made within the community. The conventions are nonprofit, and give heavily to charities. Furry culture is heavily socialist, my dude.
