Need to Remove Requirement for Gender Selection
When entering a new employee, we are forced to assign a gender under the Personal Information tab. We have individuals who choose NOT to gender identify. The system will not let us pass unless we make a gender selection. We need to either be able to leave this blank or at the very least have the option to select other or no selection.

Thank you for submitting this idea. We are planning on releasing an update in Quarter 1 of 2021 to accommodate the various ways in which employees can now report their Gender.
Thank you!

Ashley, I see from your earlier response in 2020 that we would be seeing and update for this field.
We still are only able to choose Male or Female and with aiming to be an all inclusive district we need to be able to accommodate our bi, Trans, populations.
This also leads to the much needed preferred name. If a trans person goes by a name other than their legal name and doesn't wish for their legal name to be seen.
Something needs to be worked on with both of these issues given the day and age in which we are in.
Thanks!
