If someone is interested in doing the work to spec out a complete list of gender options in order to gather additional information from attendees for statistical purposes, and provide a patch, they are welcome to do so; but gathering these statistics is not relevant to opening registration, and this is not something I'm going to work on. > and why would we ask for an "explanatory comment" there???
