The 'gender' option (1 Viewer)

[Generator]

As your gender is actually a social construction, having two options doesn't make much sense...

'Sex' would be more appropriate, I guess.





Edit: Writing such a message at 2am... What is happening to me?

How is gender a social construction?

And sex was rejected outright because too many people would snigger and put in stupid responses, which defeats the purpose.

That's because it was harder to put up than was originally thought. Next time tactic can pull a night of maintenance he's going to try and fix it. It should be in your profile edit page, but it doesn't work yet.
