    Thanks for confirming, Andy - Really appreciate the screenshot. 🙂

    I've checked in with our Payroll team where this detail is saved.
    We appreciate wanting more options for gender when entering personal details, and in some regions such as AU & NZ this is optional.
    Currently, in order to ensure successful payroll filings with HMRC in the UK, we need to match the schema they provide. That said, our team are reassessing how this fits in Xero so I'll shift this Idea to 'under review' and can share any updates that come.

    Hi,
    At the company I work for we have several members of staff who are non-binary - as Andy has already mentioned, this is very distressing for staff who might log into their "my xero" account to access payslips or change other information and see male or female there.
    It is also very difficult for myself from a practical POV as payroll admin to have to "guess" whether any of these staff would prefer to be classified as either male/female when forced to choose.
    I understand currently the need to match HMRC, obviously this is an oversight on their part first and foremost.
    Looking forward to any update as and when they come.
    Thanks
    Katie
