Only "Male" and "Female" available for choice

My friend from Russia wanted to try out Spotify, but they can't register, because they're asked to mark their gender as either "Male" or "Female", and they don't identify as either. What can they do, and why do you remove that option in certain regions?

I've seen this being pointed out in other questions, but they never got an answer.

That is odd because here on the community page, you can select your pronouns and they have "they/them/theirs" as an option.

Yeah, that's strange. You can set your pronouns to they/them/theirs regardless of the region.

Very odd, but you may choose either Male or Female 😬
