I just found out about IMDB's "parental guide" yesterday and it has made things much easier for me to avoid films/ tv shows with hidden g

Entering corrections or updates for films or actors

Why aren't there any non-binary options for gender on IMDb?

I'm adding cast credits for a series in which there are non-binary characters and performers. Why doesn't IMDb have a non-binary or any other options?
