I think they'd do better letting people put any tagged information into the profile, instead of limiting us to the fixed strings and flags we have now.

And, while they're doing that, provide scripted access to them.

So you might go to the "tags" tab on your profile, click "+", enter "gender", and have the option of checking "allow scripts to read this" and "show on main tab".

This would be easier to implement than adding new attributes (and changing message formats, and writing new XML layout) whenever they decide they want to update the profile, and would allow much more flexibility for "our world".

JoD many dont want their real gender known. There are many men playing women in here for many reasons and I would bet many women playing men so I think this would be about as welcomed as age verification seems to be at the moment

Er..

If you can't tell what gender the avatar is, do you really care that much anyway?
