Issue with adding gender to profile

Problem Summary
Issue with adding gender to profile

Problem Details
Whenever I try to add my gender on the 'edit profile' section it doesn't work. I select 'male', then I select 'display sex' and then I click 'save changes''. However, after clicking 'save changes' the 'how would you describe your gender' section no longer says 'male' and it goes blank. After this has happened, I check my profile and the male symbol is not there meaning it hasn't saved despite me selecting 'male' + 'display sex' + 'save changes'. I did the same procedure with adding a flag onto my profile and this worked (the flag I added appeared on my profile), it is just the 'sex' section that is not working. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a glitch?

Hi @always-anxious . This is a bug so thanks for reporting it to us. I can reproduce the problem as you describe it. The field doesn't save the change when you update it. I'll log the bug and pass it on to our dev team.
