Ask users for Gender
When to use this pattern
You should only ask users about gender if you genuinely cannot provide your service without this information.
If you do need to ask, use ‘ΦΥΛΟ’ when you need biological data (for example, if you’re providing a medical service).
Avoid using pronouns
You should address the user as ‘you’ where possible and avoid using gendered pronouns.
You may not always be able to use ‘you’. For example, if your service allows people to jointly apply for something, you might need to refer to both the user and the person they’re applying with. In these cases, use the person’s name.
