I understand your concern. When I started writing GenoPro in 1997, yes 26 years ago, I was a full-time student in Computer & Electrical Engineering. GenoPro was a hobby during my "spare" time, and never thought it would become so popular. At that time I there were males and females and some suggested pets to their family trees, so I decided to reuse the same memory bits to designate a pet to honor file compatibility. In retrospect it was a mistake.

Thank you for the link https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-018-1336-y

If you have suggestions for symbols for designating sexual orientation, please post some images here. I will make sure GenoProX is better at handling those situations.

Heteroflexibility describes the sexual behavior of someone who identifies as straight but sometimes has sex with people of the same sex. Some research indicates that as much as 15% of the U.S. population identifies as heteroflexible.
Legate N, Rogge RD. Identifying basic classes of sexual orientation with latent profile analysis: Developing the multivariate sexual orientation classification systemArch Sex Behav. 2019;48(5):1403-1422. doi:10.1007/s10508-018-1336-y

I have got my program to add sexual orientation and Transgender - however, I think There needs to be a Non-binary option.  Can both transgender options and non-binary be added to the G"Gender " section right along with male and female?

I have also seen some options for polyamory and symbols for a polycule - but non on Genopro.

There is the last option of Don't Know. This puts a ? on the display. This is a good description of Don't Know but may not be suitable

Thanks for the indications... I guess choosing a diamond to tag someone who doesn't identify as a male or a female will do for now. I will ignore for now the tag label for diamond to be a "Pet" though... This is absolutely dreadful. I do hope the next update brings the gender markers to the 21st century! As is, it leaves much to be desired...

Hi, How does one change the gender symbol from a square or circle into a diamond? Can you show me where in the menu I can go to do this??? Thanks!

I also do not see how to add a miscarriage to the genogram.
We seem to have skimmed over this. To mark a Miscarriage, Stillbirth, or an Abortion, you simply create the individual, mark them as "Deceased," and select Miscarriage, Stillbirth, or Abortion as the Cause of Death. Each of those three options will provide a different Genogram symbol for the individual.

As far as the main subject of the Thread goes, if I'm not mistaken, the GenoPro team currently is (and has been) developing a redesigned GenoPro, fairly certain more-or-less from scratch. While it's overdue, and I have my doubts if it'll ever be released, I can see from a developer standpoint that making updates, minor or significant, to the old-GenoPro that is publicly released, is a waste of time.

Provided the next iteration of GenoPro supports the concept of a Gender and Sexual Orientation Spectrum, I don't see a problem with the public version currently being a little ... cumbersome.

As far as I am concerned "don't know" is no different from the known state of being non-binary or intersexed. However that is not being helpful so need to think around this.
GenoPro v.1 was devised in the last century! The basic concept of a database of data which can be displayed on a graphical display has been improved with time and the user has the ability to enhance the basic display. The user can not add more fields such as an alternative defination of gender although the use Tags can extend them.

The first approach is to modify the display
   1.  Use colours to show variants. The ? symbol can be changed for each person. You can add a menu to explain each variant.
   2.  Change the symbol to the diamond shape - which can also be coloured with a different colour in each quadrant
   3.  Add a comment on the main page and from the Display menu on the main page make comments visible

Finally  Do what I have just done. Explore the possibilities of the program. I have just seen on the Genogram tab of the main menu that these problems have been addressed with options to add Transgender or Sexual Orientation data.

We can all learn although I still do not know what HeteroFlexible means
