- No invented flags
- A flag is only shown when its stripes come from a source we can point at. Where none exists, the page says the flag is undocumented.
- No hand-typed counts
- Every number on this site is computed from the underlying data. If an entry is unpublished, no count claims it.
- Closed words stay closed
- Cultural gender terms that belong to specific peoples are documented so they are not misused, and never offered as a test result.
- No celebrity examples
- We do not label real people. Nobody's identity is used as an illustration of a term.
- Gaps are declared
- A missing section reads as missing. We do not pad an entry with filler to make it look complete.
- Ads stay away from hard pages
- The test, your result, this page and anything about the hard days carry no advertising at all.
