The page lists an absurd and humorous array of non-standard gender options from genders.wtf, ranging from "Skeleton" and "Ice Cream Lover" to bureaucratic terms like "Tax Entity."

The list includes whimsical identities such as "Sea Captain," "Tracy Chapman," and "Dreamliner."
Some options reference specific locations or legal statuses, like "Alaskan Voters," "Venezuela," and "Canadian Decathlon."
Humorous or satirical entries include a long quote from Fallen London refusing to answer, "My dear sir... Squid!", and "Do Not Use - Code Updated."
Standard or serious options are interspersed with the jokes, including "Binary," "Trans Woman," and "X (non-binary) (Canada Only)."
The content serves as a compilation of meme-worthy or glitch-like choices from the gender.wtf website.

Commenters largely react with amusement to the absurdity of rigid gender fields in software, often joking about SQL injections or pointing out that many forms are useless regardless of their design. A significant portion of the thread attempts to clarify specific cultural and linguistic contexts, such as German titles like "Mrs Prof Dr," arguing that these are not genuine errors but rather misunderstandings by non-German speakers. While some users express frustration with the societal overemphasis on gender categorization, others engage in a serious debate about the distinction between sex and gender, noting that no single solution satisfies all cultural or ideological perspectives.
