All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

美國佛羅里達州州長德桑提斯(Ron DeSantis)已於3月底簽署被反對者稱為「不說同性戀」(Don’t Say Gay)的法案,禁止低年級課堂談論性傾向與性別認同。即便美國總統拜登曾批評該法「可惡」,傷害美國對多元認同努力,但根據最新的Yahoo News/YouGov民調,僅有52%的民主黨支持者反對該法,甚至還有24%民主黨人認為教師在低年級課堂談性傾向與性別認同是「違法」的。
面對部分州頒訂攸關於LGBTQ的政策,拜登政府也於3月31日宣布當天為「跨性別現身日」(Transgender Day of Visibility),以表達對於跨性別者的支持,且從4月11日起,美國民眾可以在申請護照時選擇「X性別」;但由於今年是美國期中選舉年,性別政策議題是否將成為美國政壇角力焦點,則值得關注。
