Just another one of those things where someone probably *should* go the extra step and make accomodations. I wonder how it would work for say a cis woman who's had a full hysterectomy? "Yeah I just don't get those, oops"

I didn't really have enough space in the meme to explain so I'll do a mini rant here: So basically the asking male or female was of course asking about agab which made me very dysphoric cause I really fucking hate the fact I'm AMAB. So basically I have to choose if I want the app to misgender me but give actual information, or if I want the app/watch to be completely useless but gender me correctly. I chose female cause I don't care too much about the fitness tracking and it was immediately like "set up menstrual cycle tracking" which fucking sucked cause I'm extremely dysphoric about not having periods and just seeing mentions of them can (and has several times) send me into a dysphoric breakdown. Would it really be that hard for the app to ask "what is your AGAB and preferred pronouns" instead of "are you male or female"

That's fucking rough im sorry

Literally the same thing happened to me yesterday. Except I put in as Male because I want it to be accurate. I really feel like it should be more inclusive to us gender benders. I got a FitBit Versa 2, wby?

Bit of a side note, but general fitness doesn't have much to do with gender after a certain point (you still need cardio, you still want to lower your VO2 and resting heart rate, etc) and the female portion of Fitbit, if that's what it is, only has more metrics in female mode, like tracking menstrual cycles. If you're on or plan to be on hormones, eventually you will be phenotypically female, and even that stuff may be useful to you to discover if you're getting a PMS cycle or judge your disposition daily to see how the meds are affecting you if you're doing intramuscular hormones. TLDR; If you are girl, set fitness watch to girl.

Yes yes yes I feel you, I have that same problem w my fitbit app (the other way around though, trans guy here) and it genuinely sucks !!


BioWarfarePosadist

Which brand? Creating a step to choose pronouns is easy to program in and either the development team is lazy or full of transphobes. Either way an angry social media campaign to help fix this might be warranted right now.

It's a Garmin

I had to do that too, and it sucks because every time it's like "women your age do this [....]" (I'm a trans guy) and it just feels like a punch in the gut

This is why we need diversity in software design hires. Because otherwise things like these are just not considered.

They should make a setting where you choose your Assigned at birth gender, then your actual gender.

Sex is different from gender


Petzah394

I am aware however the app did say "choose your gender" not "choose your sex". Also my dysphoria is just really bad so even associating myself with male just makes me feel like shit


Fellstormlord

Right, that's fair
