[[Websites and social networks]] that do or don't give [[recognition]] to [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity]] in their user forms. For nonbinary people, the most undesirable sites are those that require all users to mark their [[gender]] as either "[[female]]" or "[[male]]," with no other options. Similarly bad are sites that mark this choice as "[[sex]]" rather than "[[gender]]". Sites that are more friendly to nonbinary people are those that let users write in their own gender, give a wide variety of gender options to choose from a drop-down menu, give a third gender option such as "[[other]]", or don't ask about gender at all. Some sites also ask about a user's [[gender neutral titles|title]] or [[pronouns]], and ideally let users include more than the standard [[binary genders|binary]] options for these. | |||

After a [[neutrois]] user was told to leave the site if [[pronouns#It|it]] "did not wish to state [its] gender", and the administrators told [[pronouns#it|it]] the field was about a user's genital sex and not gender identity, the backlash caused DeviantArt's administrators to backpedal and re-add "Other" as an option in late 2011. | ||
