Gender Neutral Avatar This proposal is now in status: FINISHED. Voting Results: * Yaaas do it 9% 507,592 VP (43 votes) * Nooo icky 50% 2,605,485 VP (55 votes) * Invalid question/options 41% 2,168,096 VP (21 votes)

Voted invalid options for the following reasons: - The "No" option is bait. I don't think anyone is "icky" regardless of what aspect of their existence they choose to attach their identity to - I think the question of what makes us who we are goes far beyond our physical form, which I feel is just a shell for our true selves - Because I believe identity is far deeper than physical traits, I think the expectation that your body needs to match your personality is a social norm that should be questioned - There are already hair and outfit selections that prevent me from being able to tell whether someone's using the male avatar or the female avatar - There are skins that let you be [an alien riding a T-rex](https://market.decentraland.org/contracts/0x60e082f0b502ca6e72d78d2371300a541c5dfe35/items/6) or [a banana](https://market.decentraland.org/contracts/0x276a2c1dd553573bbb3f5cb61183572283d1ed63/items/0) if that's what you're into

There already is an option for gender neutral FYI. Wearable creators can create a single wearable that's either male/female, or both.

That's right, when you customize an avatar, it's named "body shape" and not "gender". This shows openness in my opinion. If we were to add another shape, what else can be chosen except curvy and not curvy?

if its the case that wearables define the avatar then why not make every avatar gender neutral? Some wearables only work for male/ female avatar and personally I find this restricting. Voting Yes bc I would like to see a third option for gender neutral avatars

Wearables are typically clothing, shoes, and other things you choose to put on your avatar. I believe the wearables should be left alone and folks can define the gender of their avatar. I envision this making it harder for creators to create wearables…what would a non-binary wearable consist of? What would change? It its hair, what would the non-binary hair look like when compared to a binary version? How about for the nails? Shoes? I believe this change would insert another layer of complexity and the ROI/value may be lower than what the proposer may want or envision themselves.

The avatar choice is one of anatomy and not identification. Identification is something you can change in the description, but anatomy is binary, so no, no changes

I support your proposal but in terms of general gameplay I & looking to creators side I think we should find a more efficent way. Considered that in terms of daily play the terms are used mostly to change the body shape and not to define if you are a man or a woman the easiest way to meet your proposal should be change names from "Man & Woman" to "Masculine & Feminine" I think Introducing a third base isnt the easiest way to meet your request in my opinion, considered the large amout of wearables already deployed; Creators should create 3 different versions of a wearable instead of 2 (If wanted to make one per shape of the body)

u sound like jared <:)

You sound like Jar0d

okay actually though, trans rights are human rights, if you don't agree lmk

ur so right... there's only CURVY and NOT CURVY!!!!!!

Your inquiry is valid, appreciated and supported. Another point of consideration for this topic is the "gendering" of wearables. Currently, wearables are created as "Female", "Male" and "Unisex", and are only compatible with however you've setup your avi (of which there is not a non-binary option for the avatar itself). So YES absolutely "DO IT!" :) Of course my mind now ponders "Should we have gender at all"? Surely we are more than a box tick, and feels irrelevant within the Metaverse world.

I don't think the avatars are either male or female, what would you change in a different representation? I believe most hairs and some others categories can already be used with the current two characters
