Somewhat more controversially there was a recent attempt at “improving” gender input fields.

to be fair, the first colour picker isn't too bad, it it?
My amusement comes from the fact that in most cases a gender input field is just an invasion of privacy, juxtaposed against these ridiculous over implementations. My favourite is the gender fluid one.
What bugs me is: why in the fuck are they asking for people's gender? Other than medical questions (where you specify your birth gender), I think for the vast majority of cases the question should not be relevant.
Yeah pretty much, medical and dating information maybe. Anything else is just an invasion of privacy.
