That the thread was specifically named "gender" not sex makes it sad that most every single reply took gender and sex to be interchangeable. Shows how far we have to go on the issue of sexuality.
I'm not suggesting everyone here is some backwards redneck. I'm simply bumed sex and gender are seen as interchangeable (or at least assumed).
I agree but I guess I'm used to it. Especially on a gaming website...sometimes I feel proud if we aren't eating our own boogers. I know I should expect better; I think it's good that you do. Even if it does lead to a letdown feeling, I think it's good to have standards.
I guess when I'm not in an alternative space I really don't expect to hear proper discussion of gender/sex/race/privilege. When I read the Borderhouse Blog- yeah, I demand it there. Here, it's like a giant mixing bowl to me. Some good, some bad, some make me wanna vomit and others make me see shiny kittens and rainbows.
