Hostess
I find it odd that in your list of suggested Self roles in the update form dropdown and in the help page, you choose to prominently divide the host role by gender:
Host
Hostess
Co-Host
Co-Hostess
Merriam-Webster lists this meaning only under "host":
a person who talks to guests on a program (such as a radio or television show or a podcast)
"As chairman of Harpo Entertainment Group, as well as host, star, and supervising producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Winfrey is the most successful woman ever to enter the field of television."

Peter: Is "Hostess" even accepted as a description in a Self role?
Four years ago, when I was trying to submit a credit for a Self role in which a woman was described as a "hostess" in a social context (she was not the host of a TV show), I found that the description was automatically changed to say "host". See the discussion at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/self-hostess/6264d143e19a9178e3caa54d for details.

Hi Peter_pbn,
Thank you for your problem report.
I have filed a ticket (ref. #10612) with the relevant team to solve this issue. Once I have an update from them, I'll confirm via this thread.

Hi Peter_pbn, based on your feedback we have removed the gendering of these roles. Now contributors will only see 'Host' or 'Co-Host'.
Thanks again for highlighting this issue.
Mark
