DeaviantArt removes "unspecified gender" option

[sqbr]

DeviantArt did that very lj/facebooki-ish thing of saying "Check out this great new feature for removing some of your privacy sharing information with your friends! (if you don't like it go to your settings page)" so I was checking out my settings page(*) and saw:

deviantART no longer has "unspecified" as a gender option. If you choose to change your gender from "unspecified" you will be unable to change it back.

Hmmph!

(*)Where they hadn't changed it (birthday sharing) by default, so that's something

I noticed that too! My reaction was much the same. Why do companies keep doing this?

Because they care more about profits than people :/
