Because I think that people of different genders may have a tendencies for specific opinions due to social and cultural reasons. That's one of things I want to check at least in my bubble.
I don't use this data for science, so there is no need for me to try to workaround platform restrictions.
Then you could have a link to a better polling site and be inclusive, instead of letting a restriction of this site be an excuse to exclude people.
Or you could just say that you don’t care about the opinions of people who don’t fit into the boxes of an imaginary gender binary, and people will know where you stand.
And if you don’t want people outside of your friend group to see and comment on the poll, then don’t post it on public.
