RAGE. FUCKING. RAGE.

Found on 6aCornfield on journalfen:

So, LJ is making it mandatory to choose either Male or Female when signing up for a new account. Oh, and choosing Unspecified? HAH! That's silly!

I've been following it over here:

I'm not sure whether it's happening or not now, or what the hell is going on, but if it IS enforced I will rage like no one has ever raged on LJ before >_>

This ? Is bullshit. Bool-sheet.

What the flying fuck...

There's no point to this. It's just going to piss people off.

Apparently they said "oops no that's not what we were going to do silly paranoid users, never fear, that's not going to happen!"... =P So. I dunno.

I read on another post that this was a simple mistake. When testing a Beta version of upcoming LJ changes someone accidentally set the gender field as mandatory. It has been corrected. There would be absolutely no reason to make JUST that field mandatory and not others so I believe it really was a mistake.
