"Google+ shouldn't have an option for gender!'
http://gizmodo.com/5819664/xkcd-author-asks-is-google%2B-too-gendered
It's a social networking site. Emphasis on SOCIAL. A social site needs basic information about you in order to filter through large numbers of people. Google+ is no different.
What also bugs me is that, despite Google+ showing off its tolerance cred by giving an "Other" option, people are still bitching about it, saying "People have been KILLED for being genderqueer!" That sucks, but if you want to be completely anonymous, go on 4chan.
If you want to identify as "pangender" or "genderphobic" or "the gender offender" or "ender of genders," do it on your "about me" box.

Isn't the complaint more "Google+ should have an option to not disclose gender!"?
Those are two totally different things.
It's their motto. "Don't Be Evil."
