      Editing … Oh, even better, if I want to bump up a page in my rankings from my honorable mentions, like say for example with my Most Anticipated Movies I want to move Finding Dory from my honorable mentions into my top ten, I'm shit out of luck! It's stuck in honorable mention limbo forever!

    So, two versions of each (character/person) list, eh? … And where do we put trans people in this restrictive, non-accurate representation?

      Editing … I can understand having gendered lists for attractiveness and for sports where genders play separately, for singers I don't see the need though.

      Editing … That's not my point. Trans isn't a gender of its own, but gender isn't binary either. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a8/48/f6/a848f6f1dd38ae70c91afc85db95f75c.jpg

      Editing … According to some people, sure. According to some people, sexism can only go one way. Doesn't make it true. I don't buy into the "gender is a social construct"

      Editing … There are people who identify as agender or some third gender, but unless someone can not only point to a singer who can't be fit into the male/female binary but also say that they want to rank this singer and there isn't anywhere to put them, I don't see it as a concern.

      Editing … Non-binary genders have existed in other cultures for hundreds if not thousands of years, whether cis westerners "buy into" them or not. I agree with Richard, but also with Shige's suggestion that some non-binary erasure is occurring in the way a lot of these lists are set up

      Editing … Also people need to be able to indicate "nonbinary" and/or "genderqueer" and/or "other" for their personal profile info on this site if they can't already. I had a friend who wanted to join but didn't partially because she is neither a man nor a woman and didn't feel comfortable indicating either of those two options.

      Editing … I think the option "other" should definitely be used. I don't care about genders all that much, and it wouldn't bother me if male wasn't an option, but I understand that it might bother some, and I see absolutely no downside for including people.
