In user pref / Profile gender selection is used for addressing users and their
actions on site, however male pronoun is the top (although not default)
selection
/// Current implementation ///
How do you prefer to be described?
He edits wiki pages
She edits wiki pages
I prefer not to detail
Setting this preference is optional. The software uses its value to address you
and to mention you to others using the appropriate grammatical gender. This
information will be public.
//////
/// Proposed ///
When you do things on the site that you want other people to know about, we say
something like 'Sam replied to you on his talk page' or 'You thanked Janet for
her edits' how would you like the site to describe your actions?
They edit their wiki sandbox (They/Their)
She edits her wiki sandbox (She/Her/Hers)
He edits his wiki sandbox (He/Him/His)
////
With the default selection being They/Their
