Previously, the site required a user to input their sex from a drop down menu of three options, those being "male", "female", and "other". Within another menu however the choice was given as to whether or not their selection of sex was shown on their profile.

Previously DeviantArt required users to input their sex, with "other" being an option, but this was removed sometime prior to 2011. A [[neutrois]] user was told to leave the site if [[pronouns#It|it]] "did not wish to state [its] gender", with administrators stating that the field was about users' genital sex and not gender identity. This action led to backlash from the community, causing DeviantArt to re-add "other" as an option in late-2011.
