mccIt is mind boggling to me how many websites make it difficult or impossible to express the idea you no longer wish to use an old credit card
So I've got two credit cards on the account, and one expired in 2019, and that's the one you're defaulting to. Do you think you're making a good decision here
Bad assumptions programmers make about time: It does not exist, and no piece of information related to a person will ever need to change
"At first we believed that programmers were latently sexist/transphobic, and due to their demographics had never thought about the fact that minoritized communities might need to change their name or gender marker. However with further research, we discovered the problem was larger: Programmers have never thought about anything, at all"

It asks for gender, but shows sexes, or has a category error like, {male, female, non-binary}. Intersex is never listed.
As a transgender programmer, I have sought not to be that way, though I usually do B2N/interfaces, so I rarely end up doing anything with this.
Tom Forsyth@antiproton @mcc Of course the real question is - WHY DOES THE WEBSITE CARE?
LisPi@TomF @antiproton @mcc Username & DisplayName, those are the only two pieces of information the site in the majority of cases should care about.
As well as some standard means of authentication (whether that be a password for forms or BasicAuth or a public key).
@lispi314 @TomF @mcc I mean probably, of course depending on what the site does.
I'm absolutely not advocating for the collection of data. One of my pet peeves is the inability for most companies to get gender and sex correct, and they usually don't need either one outside of some medical reason or something. Like I get why my doctor asks for it on the intake website.
