Spotify adds non-binary option to registration form
change comes three years after request was made
(Spotify’s new registration form.)
Spotify has added a third-gender to its registration form.
Users in the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, New Zealand and Australia all have the option to choose “non-binary” on the registration form.
The change follows a request made in 2013 by a user who wanted inclusion for third-gender, non-binary or genderfluid users. The request soon circulated on Tumblr which caught Spotify’s attention.
“We found that request and blogged about it, appealing to followers to add their votes and comments, and the request was reviewed by Spotify soon after,” the blog reads.
The service responded on their website three years later saying that the company will now include a non-binary option in select countries.
The non-binary option will be included in more countries in the future.

Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
