For people who want privacy , is an excellent idea.

Astell&Kern Norma SR15 + Sennheiser Momentum M2 AEG + Sennheiser HD 598 + Sony WH-1000XM2 + Sony WF-1000xm4 + own 2249 Hi-Fi/-Res Tracks + Deezer Freemium. Let's play!

Yes please please add this, it makes me really uncomfortable that I have been made to choose one or the other. I don’t even see why it’s relevant on a music app!

Still no change? Seems like a simple enough addition... or just remove the question/category

Hey @treant

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, no changes so far. But it has been discussed several times recently. If there's an update, we'll refresh this topic.

still no change?

this is really pathetic. i am an artist that has music hosted with deezer & i am really annoyed that only the two binary genders are offered. if no one addresses this issue i will have to withdraw my release from deezer and spread the word of how discriminatory this service is.

its almost 2020 y’all, stop excluding people from your platform- you are ultimately the ones losing in the end

id say remove gender completely, its completely, 100% irrelevant, but at least an unspecified or fill-in-the-blanks is a simple addition.

just pick a random one. it doesnt matter for music streaming service. i just pick a gender because it is required field. but never look at it again. didnt even know there was a field honestly because ive never seen it since i signed up

@terr, not defending them not adding it, I agree there should be an “other” or “not specified”, but the reason most companies have the option is to keep tabs on who is using their user base. I hope this example doesn’t offend you, because the is not the intent, I only wish to share information. Ex. if they have a user base that is 70% female, this would lead the company to see how to increase the small 30% ratio of males to ultimately get more subscribers.

So, adding in a “unspecified” option would probably help if they wanted to start a campaign to target that specific demographic. Just sharing knowledge so it’s not unknown why they ask for gender.
