LJ fucks up some more
i am mostly immune to it by now, except this one is so very clearly geared towards advertising instead of making people feel welcome and safe:
m/f gender will be a mandatory field at account creation.
LJ has never been terribly good about this; years of gender petition have resulted in no action that might make TG people feel considered. but now they're removing even the piddly "unspecified" option.
if you still care about LJ, synecdochic has good advice on how to give feedback.
if they start enforcing the binary choice for existing account holders, i'll stop reading the friends-locked LJs for which i now still visit the site.
