Recently, I shared my account with some friends so they could find me on here! When I clicked the link to ensure that it worked properly & linked to my account, I saw this:

"User has limited her profile visibility to registered users only."

My jaw dropped. I set my gender, as you can check, to gender-queer. So really, there are three options (but I'm doubting the third):

1. Registering as a submissive immediately assigned pronouns to my account. This is very transphobic and misogynistic. Anyone can be a submissive. 

2. Registering as genderqueer was still seen as a "woman-lite" gender identity, which is a big issue in the LGBTQ community at the moment.

3. There's some setting I am missing where you set your pronouns. I cannot find it, and I've looked through my profile information and my settings. Please let me know if this is a setting I am overlooking and how I can change it. Fingers crossed it's not limited to premium users. If not, I may be changing my role on here, despite it being the most accurate to how I identify in kink. 

Villanelle​(staff) - I think this is something we definitely need to address. You aren't missing a setting, we simply don't have a diverse set of pronoun options that work across the site at this time. Please note that this omission is not rooted in an intention to make THE CAGE exclusively M/f. Our goal has always been diversity and inclusion. We're a small team building the platform from the group up and are very much a work in progress, which makes your feedback particularly valuable. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on this!

spankmysass​(sub gender queer){Yes} - I'm really happy to see you're taking notice to this issue! I didn't expect a response from any staff at all. I hope to see a change to include multiple pronoun options in the future, and I will keep an eye out for it.

Sunshinegirl​(sub female) - I’m a premium member and I just looked through preferences, the only options are sexual orientation and gender. No option for pronouns 😕
