I tried but could not manage to switch sexes on a couple, he was loaded as female and she was loaded as male.

Maybe I could delete both but they have children loaded.

So what is the way to switch pink to blue and viceversa ?

Hi Francisco, you can Delete then reenter.

If all the details are correct, have you just tried SWOPPING the NAMES by rentering them

If one is called JANE and the other JIM, just change JANE to JIM and JIM to JANE

All the best

I could not swap names, they have different family names and all the family going up and down the tree are different

Maybe I should have edited the GED

Its ridiculous not to allow gender changes

When I deleted the wrongly entered female and re-entered as male, I could not link his wife because she was entered as male, and did not appear in the list.

It seems same gender spouses are a no.no in TP

:-))

Re:It seems same gender spouses are a no.no in TP.

That is because TribalPages, primarily, advertises itself as a genealogy site, not as a historical record of a family or individual.

It is not - yet - biologically possible for the spouses in a same sex union to singularly, or jointly, conceive a child without 3rd party involvement.

For that reason there can be no logical continuity of genes in a same sex marriage.

What sort of a tree would evolve if two ladies - while joined in matrimony - both had several children, with the cooperation of different males for each pregnancy?

This is not intended to ridicule your comment. It is to emphasise the impracticality of programming, and recording, such an eventuality, because the conceptions would not be a result of the marriage union.

Yes, a co-administrator of our tree entered his family and later realized that he switched genders, when on the tablet view the uncle was pink and the aunt blue.

A silly mistake and no easy fix that I can think of.

TP allows to change every data on a person, even can make dead people alive !

But fix the male/female attribute is a big NONO.

Live and learn !

Francisaco, you have to re-enter both Husband and Wife. As she is not on the List, just enter her again as Female

Hi Francisco, you have not confirmed if tey are GAY or an ordinary married couple. If they are GAY there is no provision to put them in as such. If they are a normal married couple, what I have suggested is easy to do.

Francisco. I do not MEDDLE so watch the way that you are talking.

We Members have been trying to help. but if you do not know how to explain yourself correctly how can we do this.

I have not suggested that you are GAY, but it seems that you are not capable to follow simple instructions or explanations.

The fault in your Tree has been made by you, so carry on with it as it is.

Taking into account some of the stupid given names children are getting it is becoming quite easy to assume the wrong sex. A few days ago I heard that a neighbour had called his son Windrush. That is anyone's guest if they did not know the child.
