Why is there a neutral gender?

[buzzkill]

As most things in character creation, I choose a random sex as I don't don't care whether it's male or female, although sex will figure into the characters evolving back story and may even alter my play style in a limited way.

I'd prefer neuter to neutral. Neutral has no flavor. It's not even a proper PC descriptor, which is the whole point isn't it.

Side note: perhaps "unknown" would be better than "neutral"? "Decline to specify" seems overly-wordy and legalistic.

"neither" and "both" after male/female choices. Maybe "other" could work too.

So we have

a) male
b) female
c) neither
d) both
e) other
f) unknown

I think it probably makes you entirely normal but I'd appreciate it if you didn't make light of the issues trans people deal with. I don't think you meant to but being flippant about sexual reassignment surgery doesn't come across very well.

You're quite right, and I apologise unreservedly to anyone who was offended. Please be assured that no offense was meant.
