Icon Request: icon-gender, icon-gender-male, icon-gender-female (all genders)

dinusuresh commented 11 years ago

my suggestion for the icon is illustrated in the below pictures,

connected_male_and_female_symbols_stickers male-and-female-signs

I would like to use it in forms when asking the user for their gender.

and PS awesome set of icons :)

tagliala commented 11 years ago

Also adding icon-gender-male and icon-gender-female

Their user case should be different from icon-male and icon-female

dinusuresh commented 11 years ago

Yes, icon-gender-male and icon-gender-female with sign as in the image will be useful as the current icon-male and icon-female are mostly used for restroom signboards only.

thank you

I also think that the person with and without a skirt have a different usecase as they suggest that men and women wear and don't war skirts. Hence I opt for that more neutral versions. I know that these symbels are part of the UTF8-Standard, just in most fonts they are plain ugly.

I'm +1ing Genders, but respectfully, they should all (or most) be included: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_symbol

These are important since in non human biology, females usually don't wear skirts unless their owners take them to an animal show.

+1 - Unicode symbols exists, but are not pretty, hard to align properly etc.

Hey everyone... not sure if you're aware of but as of Font-Awesome 4.2 we have these 2 icons:

http://fontawesome.io/icon/female/ http://fontawesome.io/icon/male/

HoffmannP commented 10 years ago

@leniel we (I) know, that these symbols are exist but they are culturally bound

leniel commented 10 years ago

@HoffmannP ah OK... that's fair enough. :smile:

razenha commented 10 years ago

@leniel Thanks, this icons are great, but in some cases they are not appropriated - my case, I have to use an icon to represent the gender of farm livestock. Using the current icons would be a little offensive.

Kirbo commented 10 years ago

Don't hold your breath, I'm pretty sure ApplePay icon will be available faster than these icons (I've been waiting for them for awhile now (several months) and brands I've never even heard of have been added ever since before these). Not that I'm not greatful, I LOVE Font-Awesome, just not the processing speed of icon requests so far...

sorahn commented 10 years ago

These are coming. A little birdie told me... :)
