    Genuine question. Why does a program need to know the user’s gender? (I’m asking in general, not in this particular case). Just use gender neutral pronouns to refer to the user, or, better yet, don’t talk to me at all!

    Aside from niche things like targeted ads and gendered health tracking and stuff.

    Dear Pumpkin.

    Pumpkin, pumpkin, (the whole page is filled with the word pumpkin) pumpkin, pumpkin…

    Now I don’t even know if you’re a word anymore.

    Please clarify.

    Thanks.
