Hi! I just came over here from the Latest Things page when looking at the "dreamwidth" tag.
I'm also interested to know what people would want to put in their profiles, so I hope it's okay for me to watch the comments on this post. If somebody doesn't do it first (or if you're going to do it) then I'll probably try creating an informal all-questions-optional questionnaire that people can copy and paste to their bio, since it seems like that could alleviate some of the problems raised in the comments of that dw_suggestions entry!
(Also, I dislike the emphasis on the sex/gender of infants too. Not least that the idea of the traditional "It's a girl/boy!" exclamation would make me want to say "You might know their sex, you don't know their gender." I hope you'll be very happy as a parent, though!)
