Shemale Sex Lover, thanks for your reply. I admit, I too felt that the "Requirement" of disclosing gender was a bit odd. I don't have a problem revealing it myself, but quite honestly, that's the sort of question that I usually leave blank. However, that is also the sort of question that generally forces a person to pigeonhole themself into one of two limited categories. I was so relieved to go to a doctor's office that actually gave the option on the gender question to denote, "Transgender, Alternative," or "Prefer not to answer."
I understand where you're coming from, but given the unique nature of gender expression (especially in a forum such as this!) I would be tempted to AT LEAST add the option of "Prefer not to disclose." Or something along those lines...That way those people that prefer to remain more anonymous, or less forced into labeling themselves, still have that benefit. At the same time, if they get PM's that go against their conception of themselves, they can at least have HAD the opportunity of defining their gender from the outset. In regards to the whole communication issue, all of my screen names are gender neutral...More as a matter of coincidence than by design. And that said, over my years of interacting with people on the internet, my gender has seldom been ANY sort of issue to hamper my ability to effectively communicate. But then again, my goal was never to pick up someone or date. ![]() |

To SSL:
I was arguing a point of principle on what should constitute a requirement for being on this forum. What's done is done, and I'm not sure most people are too fussed about this. To be constructive I think that GRH makes a very good suggestion here: Quote:
Maybe "Prefer not to disclose" would be better put as "Gender undisclosed" or "Gender unstated" as this would make more sense when it appears with the username on posts. Regarding more selection choices you could consider having "Other" and allowing people to type in their own description. Well now I'm going to get off my high horse on this. I shall go and change my underwear and be a transvestite for the rest of the day. ![]() Last edited by marlowe; 07-03-2008 at 05:33 AM. |

Magnets? Magnets magnets magnets magnets.... *scratch*.... er... um... *stumped*..... magnets?..... *more coffee*...... er.... er.... *maybe*..... Ok.... let's have a go..... Magnets? Is that really a good metaphor for gender identity and how it affects behavioral interaction? I beg to disagree: *smug* Magnets only have two poles, if we are talking about gender identity that doesn't scan. And if we're talking of attraction / repulsion what about all the vagaries in the toing and froing, all the points inbetween, it's not always as polarised as 'she loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not'. And finally... (*here's my really big gun ![]() .... in this context how do you make magnets work for homosexuality, as in two people sharing the same gender identity being attracted to each other? VoilĂ*. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it! (*triumphant*.... *hmmm*.... *not so sure*.... *he'll find a way of weedling out*....) Cheers ![]() |

After setting much tobacco to fire, I have come to this inference.
![]() There are always 2 poles in all cases that involve partners. Even among Homosexual relationships. One is more dominant (Lesbian => Dyke type) another is submissive (more feminine type). Case solved, Watson! Anything once explained is easy. ![]()

Ok, Ok, GRH,
I am not over-generalizing the nature of relations. My idea is, whatever the gender of the partners are, in a longterm relationship... they gradually fall back into the two stereotype behaviors of nature: masculine and feminine. And I am not only referring to sexual relations. Quote:
Those can be described as getting a kick out of role playing, may be?
