Doesn't matter. It still won't be used correctly and it may not help at all. Even if only a handful of people do it, it makes me wonder how many other people do it. The entire point of the gender icons was so we could say she, he, etc. It's all in the gender icon thread. I have no idea why the transgender icons were put in since we were trying to avoid not knowing what to call someone.
This will most likely not be used properly. People will lie and joke around with it. Really a pointless add in IMO.
We might as well get rid of the location thing then
because there's a ton of other's who don't use that properly either
it has helped me, and I'm sure it's helped other people

I find it a little pointless, since we never really need age to refer to anyone.
We used the gender/sex things to see if the person was a "he" or a "she," since it sometimes became confusing. Knowing someone's age would be okay, but I find no use in sharing that information or even knowing it.
the same thing goes with location though
we don't /need/ to know where people are from
it's not necessary to know, but I assume it's a little like customization, such as user titles and pets
and since pets are a no-go anymore I don't really see what harm it could do
