    If I wanted to be anonymous, selecting “any” would be better for infosec because it’s ambiguous.

    Or, you know, you can always just lie. I don't get why people forget how to do that on the internet.

      If I'm on an account where infosec is a concern, I'm a madlib any time I refer to myself or mention some personal detail where the same message could be conveyed with the nouns swapped out. It's generally pretty easy to figure out gender from how someone writes or where they post so it's just one more thing for people to read into if they're monitoring you for some reason.
