Sure, but within a certain design that reflects guiding ideas of the platform. Like, we wouldn’t give anyone control over how much they want to charge for the night in their home. That option is excluded by design, because it would be against a guiding idea of the project. There’d be no point in putting it on the menu in the first place.
Likewise with regards to trust & safety, I believe it would be a bad approach to offer an option, that should not be picked anyways. In my understanding this option is above all heterosexual dating. I think we shouldn’t offer this option and therefore not follow the setup of cs, where users can search for the opposite gender. We could rather have a design where users can limit connections based on gender:
Gender preferences
I identify as [non-binary/female/male]
I only want to stay with members of my gender [check]
I exclusively want to connect with members of my gender [check]
