In user profiles, the options for gender are male, female, transgender, and no gender.
Transgender is not a gender. It is an adjective that can be applied to gender.
I can see having gender options of transgender male and transgender female, but not just transgender. Having transgender as a gender option makes about as much sense as having cisgender as a gender option.
I think the point of gender in user profiles is to allow people to search for the genders they're interested in. I don't believe there are many people who go "I want to find someone, but only if they're transgender, and I don't care if they are transgender male or transgender female."
The main reason I see for including transgender as a gender option is so people can choose to exclude transgender profiles from their searches. "I want to date males, but only if they are cisgender" for example.
I hope the people who run this site will change the gender setting to include transgender male and transgender female, or just remove transgender completely.
