Option to tell the Female Health tracker that I don't have a menstrual cycle?

I updated Fitbit to find the new Female Health tracker - great addition, I think - but was a bit surprised to find that there's no way to tell Fitbit that I'm not using this service 'cause I don't have a menstrual cycle.

 

In my case, that's because I'm biologically male.  In my mother's case, that's because of menopause.  There are other medical issues that can also prevent mences, some of which affect other women in my family.

 

Is there or will there be an option to tell Fitbit about why it is some users are not adopting this feature?  That seems like really basic data to miss when dealing with population-level statistics. 

 

And it's a little irritating to find this new tile prominantly displayed when Fitbit already knows my biological sex for heart rate tracking purposes...

@Kelgan  I'm post-menopausal as well.  I just deleted the tile from my Fitbit mobile app front page.  You can delete what you don't want to look at and move the tiles around to order them for your preference.  I'm Android.  There's a little red Edit at the bottom.  Touch that.  Or, I can touch and hold on a tile and the editing initiates.  Slide them around.  Press the minus sign (-) to remove a tile. If you remove something and want it back later, start the editing process again and that tile appears greyed out at the bottom with a plus sign (+) to add it back to your tiles.  Touch the Done or the check mark when you are finished to save your changes.  Easy-peasy!

Yep, and that's what I did.  It just doesn't make anything like sense to me not to ask those questions as part of the setup.
