I also find it very helpful to know male or female and where someone is. Roughly. Doesn't have to include state or province, but country and general area are good to know. Rural Midwest US or Large City in the Midwest would be sufficient to provide context.
If through various posts it becomes clear that someone is lying or deliberately misleading us about their location or other "About Me" information, my opinion of that person plummets.

Anything resembling "privacy" in today's electronic world is largely a "myth". If a person uses a computer or cell phone, etc., much of their lives is available for use by any number of public, government, or corporate entities.
On a forum, such as this, some basic information....gender, general location, basic interests, etc., can be quite helpful in posting a reply. Failure to have this kind of information often makes it difficult to make a pertinent reply.

Yes, posting identifying and extremely personal information on a site, where anybody can use or misuse it, is probably not the best thing to do. But, I think some innocuous info about your pets, sex, etc. is helpful to flesh out the people you are talking to.
