Have mods removed the unspecified gender option, considering it creates fitna?

If I recall correctly, your supposed to close doorways to Fitna, 

Not wait till the "pre-requisites" are there.

True, a male can impersonate a woman and vice versa, that's something mods can do nothing about though.

Does that justify opening another door to Fitna by giving them Anonymous gender option?

it lets users be cautious instead of bringing their guard down when they read the gender

Akhi there's been incidents where a brother or sister pmed the other by mistake because they thought he or she was a brother or sister, as their gender was anonymous.

I'm sure the mods know this.

Akhi you should go on a protest,

I agree. People should be cautious regardless; whether it's a male or a female you're interacting with as it's a mixed forum.

Personally, unless I knew the sister offline I wouldn't let my "guard" down. The people who will behave inappropriately will do it anyway, whether gender is specified or not. In reference to the brother who pm'd the sister or vice versa - whichever one realised first should've ended the convo.

If people wanted, they could find fitna in anything really.

As I've mentioned in the awkward moments thread, there's a forum I've been hanging out on for years and I just found out recently that another long term member who'd registered as "male" is actually transgender (ie born female but living in denial so posing as male). She admitted it on one of the threads. It's a non Muslim forum so they wouldn't object to such a thing, but I'd seen her round on the forum for years and had no idea.
