group/band sexual identity definition

@gromit82​ I could be doing it wrong all this time but I have created a few of accounts for a band or a choir and each time I was asked to select a gender. If there is a better way, can someone please explain to me how to create a group account without the need to select the gender, that will still allow them to be added as a guest? Thanks

Leyland: Do you mean indicating "actor" or "actress" with the buttons below the person's name? If so, I don't know if there is a definite answer, but after the group has been listed in the database, I would recommend submitting a correction to their gender identity to make it "other". See https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/contribution-of-gender-identity/GXYFQEUT9TWEAK62# regarding that option. I have just tested this by submitting a correction to the page for ABBA to indicate "other" in that they are a mixed group consisting of two men and two women. (They were previously listed as "male", although I don't know if that displayed anywhere on IMDb.)

@gromit82​ Yes, it was the "actor/actress" bit when I was creating new name accounts. Thanks for the link. I tried to change a choir to "other" but I got a pink warning box, I had to attached a screen grab of the group singing to show it was a mixed group, hopefully this will be enough to accept the change to "other"

@gromit82​ For the last couple of years, whenever one submits a "Self" credit, one is supposed to enter it as "Self" rather than entering "Himself" or "Herself" or "Themselves". Still "Themselves" for groups, according to the guidelines.
