[Feature Request] Add gender info!

I'd like to know if a player is male or female because they have a name I can't really decide. I'm curious tho. Like profile completion there you could add your gender. Male or female or other. LOL

why its none of ur business

Some people don't have a gender ... xD. Some people prefer to be classified as genderless aliens, or simply as "other."

This is a bad idea, which may just discourage women from playing

There are no boys on the internet, therefore the developers should mark *all* players as women.

Though in this case this gives no additional information... maybe that's why there's no such option - as it's unnecessary. Yap, that's the reason.

As long as it isn't obligatory, it can't hurt.

More seriously, chess isn't played by genitals.

One can add this info in their account biography anyway if they really need. :D

If sb has a chinese name e.x. i couldn't guess their gender. It's like you have a separate box for you're 1st and 2nd name but you could put that in the introducion box anyways but you have a separate box. Lichess could have a option "choose your gender". You know it's not obligatory... you arent needed to put your name too.
