I need to find out, what a persons gender is so I can give them the womans torso, is that possible?
Idk if that is against Roblox Tos
iām pretty sure itās not against tos unless iām forgetting something. Anyways, roblox does not have a way to detect gender, since they consider that personal information (Is it possible to view player's gender? - #2 by snowingwings220)
Edit: after reading the replies more, it looks like it might be a violation of PII (personally identifiable information), so you shouldnāt ask for this information either. You might just have to scrap your concept

Maybe it could be, instead of asking people for their gender, you make them chose an āavatarā

You are not able to ask the player what gender they are, but what you can do is make them pick between the options for the gender that their character can become.
E.g. have a character creator with a pick between a male (1.0 torso) or female (girl torso).

Just allow the user to design their avatar in your game!

Youāre not allowed to. Roblox considers it as personal information.

Just have them choose between ābody Aā and ābody Bā.

You cannot access that setting on their account.
Best to just have them select it in game anyway because many people just select a random gender/no gender when making an account.

This is the best way, and how you should ask about customization options in general. The questions should be about the character, not the player.
He doesnāt provide any source for this, and it seems to just be a blind statement. If anyone has a link I would be grateful, but Iāve researched this topic for over a week straight with no sight of it.
Thereās a lot of statements regarding āPIIā but nowhere on the Roblox Terms of Service does it state that, so Iād love to know.
I think that itās safe to say thereās no problem with prompting a blue and pink square, itās just an avatar after all.
AFAIK, you canāt find the userās gender (the option they selected when signing up.) The nearest thing you can do is implement your own gender selection system, and make a variable out of it if the player selected Male or Female.
hey man, unfortunately you canāt check the gender of the players due to roblox TOS and all that. GDPR or whatever it is id say.
what u can do is tho i see in a lot of games; if ur game has male/female orientated outfits/characters u can make them choose an option. 
I donāt think this is possible, instead, ask them to choose their gender, like most roleplay games or just games in general do.
Iād love a source for this, I cannot find anything in the terms of service regarding it being against the terms of service.
Please use accurate sources of information such as the Roblox terms of service page rather than forming an opinion based off what other people have previously said.

If youāre asking this question in the context of the userās account information, then no, you canāt find out what they set their gender to be on their account. Regardless, itās quite unnecessary and controversial to require a personās gender, unless itās so you can refer to them correctly in-game.
Make them a certain avatar type by default. They can then choose in-game through some sort of settings menu to be a woman.
What is a bad thing that gender can be used for to be a personal information?
