Mar 30, 2017 at 10:25 comment added Verena Praher @Ooker maybe it was just an alphabetic choice. At least that's how I would choose the order.
Mar 30, 2017 at 5:24 comment added Praasshant +1 for your deep dive research and listing down how major players asking this question or even if they are asking at all.
Mar 29, 2017 at 23:36 comment added dan04 Speaking of “the linguistic aspect”, note that in many languages it's nearly impossible to form a grammatically-correct sentence without knowing if the subject is masculine or feminine. This may be the reason the question is asked in the first place.
Mar 29, 2017 at 14:50 comment added user11900 As for your second conclusion (about Silicon Valley preferences), I wonder if that's mostly tied to alphabetical order.
Mar 29, 2017 at 9:49 comment added gerrit Non-binary gender has nothing to do with western liberal notions about sexuality and gender. The first country to offer a third gender option in the passport was Nepal.

Mar 28, 2017 at 20:43 comment added Ooker +1 for the linguistic aspect. From your data, I have an impression that big companies what to be projected as not being sexism by placing female first, which is overreacted. If they really aren't sexism, then the options should be written as how they flows from the minds, which obeys linguistic rules.
Mar 28, 2017 at 20:37 comment added Clumsy cat idk about the others but facebook is definitely not a binary anymore, hasn't been for at least the past 2 years.
