Allowing us to write our gender is actually a good idea. I would also love the option of allowing us to write in our political affiliation and many other options. 

This could allow us to mass find or mass block people with certain views. 

Nostr or relays could also gather statistics on how many male, female trans etc are on nostr.

gather statistics on how many liberals, conservatives libertarians etc are on nostr

I might have to request this on github

We currently have no way to find or view statistics on what type of people are on nostr  

 More ways to divide and segregate, amazing! 

 I get what you're saying, but I'm of the belief that the more information people can optionally put in their profile, the better. It expands individual choice and gives people who are so inclined to express themselves the way they want. Seems easy enough to just ignore it if it's something you're not interested in providing. I see it as an expansion of personal freedom.  

 markers 

 Classify, segregate, polarize, label, echo chamber, group-think, create algos to group people who only agree with you and silence the ones who don’t, censor, persecute, alienate, discriminate, eliminate….

I thought this place was for freedom of thought and expression? If what you want is built, then it becomes just like all the others. 

 People can literally write their gender into their bio.
