Profile Gender Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Is there any reason why the Gender bit in the profile is a textbox and not a drop-down list? Are you expecting anything other than male or female ? Not that I mind, but I was just wondering.

I put "Nominally Male" as I strive to one day be free of the shackles of a gender role. (Note: Not sex, gender. Big difference.)

There is a major difference between sex and gender, and frankly sex would be the most appropriate here since gender is arbitrary. It's not a "PC" eupherism for sex, however, but a completely different concept. This misconception seems increasingly common...

SG{3}
the answer to this question is simple...
it's for the SGs, as we are not entirely male or female...
2/3 male and the most important 1/3 female.
that is the answer to the question!

Sex = physiological term
Gender = social term

One's sex can be male whilst being of female gender.
