Without going into a debate whether this statement makes sense or not in absolute terms, it seems to make sense in some people's heads, as differences can be measured across different groups in the 500+ user population. The very purpose of this game is to measure biases and perception, not reality

Since it is based on perception, and many people perceive themselves as outside the binary male/female categories, shouldn't the first question about my gender give me more options than just male and female?

My dating choices are extremely biased.

I refuse to date people I don't like, aren't attracted to, have little in common with or are simply deranged (sex offenders and serial killers included).

Come to think of it, dating is all about bias. If your dating choices *aren't* biased, you've probably got bigger issues than just bias.
