Good job LJ *inflames the masses*
Dec. 15th, 2009 02:10 amFff. I took this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cesia, since I randomly checked my f-list.
That they're probably doing this just for ad-revenue, just so they can bombard women with 'you're too fat' and men with 'help your penis get bigger!' ads just annoys the fuck out of me. Why the hell can't I like myself the way I AM?
I'm one of those unspecified, but that's because it's none of their damn business.

* Gender will be a mandatory field at account creation,and it will be able to appear public on one's profile. (I can't tell if people with existing gender specification will be defaulted to "nobody can see it" or "everybody can see it".) (Subsequent changelog reading indicates that the public specificity has since been removed. It is unknown whether this is to require public specificity in the future or if it will remain private.)
* LiveJournal is removing the Unspecified option for the gender field. That's right: you get to be male or female. Period. That's it. (Source.)
If this pisses you off as much as it pisses me off, go to Edit Profile and select Unspecified for your gender option. Then, go to http://www.livejournal.com/contact/?dept=feedback and politely register your displeasure. (The people who read and process Feedback are not the people who make the decisions. They are often the people who are yelling internally about the decisions.)
(This will likely take place at the next code push, which given LJ's history will be either this Thursday or next, so spread the word fast, especially to the genderqueer community. After that point, you will no longer be able to pick "Unspecified" as your gender.)
( Here is what she wrote; copy and paste as much as you'd like: )
To also reach someone who's higher up the food chain than the poor staff members who have to read and reply to Feedback, also email anjelika@livejournalinc.com who is Anjelika, GM of US operations.
It's like the interwebz decided to fuck shit up all this week. Kami knows if I was on Facebook too this would have just made me wonder why I bothered.

Mmm. Music.
gdi Macross Frontier. I want to see the movie now so I can see the animation that goes with the songs. :|
( They even have a male version. Ffff. )
Aaand Abingdon Boys Schoolwho I follow because I like T.M. Revolution has the full version of their Darker than Black 2 [Ryuusei no Gemini] ending PV out. T.M. is... one pretty, ugly, man. Yes. Pretty and ugly at the same time.
Then there's the Gintama ending. I don't actually follow Gintama at all, but Pan randomly looks when they have new OP and ED, and I really liked this one. The Beat Crusaders [who did Bleach's 4th OP, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight] teamed up with a female vocalist [Hitomi... something >_>]. ( Aaaand to spare your f-lists )

Link me to your newest favorites \o I'm hella bored and I love new music. 8D
