Originally you stated that Gender and Race were the only things that should be divulged, but Religion did not need to be. I'm curious to why Race would be needed if not to allow someone to racially vilify you? I consider everyone in this world equal, I don't need to know their Gender, Race, Religion or now as you have added Sexuality to have a conversation with them. If we have common interests we are instant-friends.
These things IMHO are not needed to conduct conversations online. They are added talking points that may or may not bring unwanted discussions. I get what you are all saying about not having to hide, but not everyone overlooks these things. The less ammunition you can give a potential troll the less harm they can do. Heck if they don't even know you are there, even better.
Anyhow, as I said, Welcome Snapite, hope we cross paths in some other Snap.
