Was excited to see this because there is a serious lack of good contact managers / address book software and signed up to their demo right away but was quite disappointed to see their default options for adding a new contact were:
1. First Name
2. Last Name
3. Gender: Male / Female / I'd rather not sayI would not trust the software from a project that thinks the third most important thing about a person is their gender and certainly not trust them from their perception that there are only two valid genders or "lets not talk about it"

There's no way to please everyone with defaults, that's why things are configurable. Being so negative because they likely went with a simple majority config (from their perspective) by default for a field that is such a minor part of the whole system is ludicrous.

While I'm with you politically: If a narrow perception on gender was a reason for not using a specific software, I probably couldn't use any software at all.
AFAIK, Microsoft, Apple, Google and others don't give you more options in this regard either. So I find it quite harsh to abandon a small project like this but accept what you get from bigger companies.

Also, I am cisgendered, and it's important to me. So it's more than 1% of the population. Or do you believe that you have to be a member of a group to be bothered by things that affect them?
