I'M NOT A HE. It really gets on my nerves when people refer to me like that.
When you don't know someone's gender, call the person "they" instead. Do not assume that everyone who makes TASes in the world is a guy.

synnchan: how would I know? If you don't want people to assume wrong, add to your signature a hint about it.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

And what do you want me to put on my sign? something like "I AM FEMALE" ?
That would make me look like an attention whore, and I don't want this. The best thing to do would be having a feature that displays your gender below your avatar. Some forums allow this.

Yeah, of course. Because only men can use the internet. Women should only cook, do the dishes, do the ironing... and things like that. Aren't I right? You sexist.
And of course, making a shit storm about all this instead of simply asking for referring you as a she don't make you an AW ? please, tell me you're not serious :(

Hey! Relax it, I think we should stop talking about this. Just talk about game and tas.
I remember someone has been blocked by FractalFusion, because of the sexualgender discrimination.

So, defending my gender is now being an attention whore? Tell me you're not being serious.

It would be great if those people were to stop posting so I'd not have to waste my time replying to them any further. Can someone please block this topic? And now that all of you know, I only hope I'll never run into this issue here again.
