The point is not to make you reveal your gender, but to make you explicitly choose a gender, thus normalising the idea that gender should not be assumed. Transphobes will object to this and get banned. At least, that’s the theory.
Just make a rule that transphobes and other bigots will be banned like everyone else.
And how do the mods find the transphobes to ban them? They’ll have to wait for an argument to happen and someone to complain about it. Waste of everyone’s time. This way transphobes will get triggered when they try to sign up, throw a tantrum, and get banned. That’s the plan; I have no idea whether it works in practice.
What if I just lie?

I just default to gender neutral terms if context clues don’t suggest a specific one.
