Good idea, but it should be optional; think about the possibility of transgender and hubots.

If you add this kind of feature, you should add all of them : https://neuwritesd.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/1420041082350.png ;)

@ckiltolier or just male or female icon with switch button

@Nemra1 What do you mean ? If you wanna be the more inclusive you can, you may use all of theses logos. But you don't have to, depends of your objectives.

In what case would that be a usefull information ?

To be inclusive it's better to not have any symbol. It does not add any real information that is needed in a chat environment. And it would allow for discrimination if we did have them.

@Lawri-van-Buel make it option with disable and enable

I would recommend it to be disabled on default. This is a hornets nest we would want to keep out of.

I think the points raised against this concept are more valid than any rationale presented in favour of it.
We'll close this now but you can discuss it in the forum under Feature Requests.
