Is this to make it easy for this "community", or is there some sort of agenda here?
Lol what agenda? It's a harmless addition which will improve the quality of life of a (small) proportion of users who feel uncomfortable having to identify as male or female.
Yes, I get it will improve individual's quality of life. When I say agenda, I'm thinking for example about the opportunist use of gays rights by the West to bash Russia and silence about gay rights in, e.g. Saudi Arabia. I'm also thinking about promotion of sexual confusion with the long term objective of population control. Also these "gay issues in the spotlight" are very clever way to give the illusion of freedom to a population.
otoh, I may be overthinking it, and it's only ... weird.
