Hi - good product - originally purchased in 2012 and just paid you for a 2020 upgrade.
However, the product is looking significantly embarrassing with respect to how families are constructed nowadays (both socially AND legally). For instance: the GenoPro Family Wizard opens a dialog box asking for "Husband/Father" information and "Wife/Mother". Put another way, how would you expect my husband and I (another male) to use this dialog box? Similarly, the "New Child" dialog box offers four options for Gender: "Male / Female / Pet / Don't know". Gender-non-binary has been socially recognised for a while now, as has gender-neutral. "Don't Know" is not a suitable alternative (and "Pet" is definitely an inappropriate choice). I'd look forward to entering a dialogue with you about bringing GeoPro up to date with respect to real-life families and gender!

There is an option to add a person and then change gender to Don't Know using ? on the display.

There is an option to add a person and then change gender to Don't Know using ? on the display.
But "don't know" is different from the known state of being non-binary or intersexed. One of my great-grandparents had 5 siblings but no one knows the name or gender of the 5th. A member of my church is locally famous for suing because a judge would not let them change their official state gender marker to X for non-binary despite meeting the state requirements. My childhood neighbor is in a book of nude art photographs of people born intersexed. In the first case, gender is unknown, in the second two, it is known but not "male" or "female".

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

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...

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
