Rather than leaving the question as "Sex?" (which welcomes all sorts of answer <i.e. "Yes please ;D">) I thought we could go the "scientific" route. (I also considered entitling this "Sex poll" but thought some homophonic mischief might ensue <as opposed to what will undoubtedly follow from the use of the term "homophonic" >) I am male.

People are willing to share their ages, but not their sex?!? Did I not offer enough choices?

Haha. By the way I just read Distress by Greg Egan and the array of genders there is dizzying. umale / ufem imale / ifem enmale / enfem hermaphrodite exotic asex
And that's supposing that one of the letter-gender above is the actual "natural" gender.

Wow.. can you elaborate on those? Why yes! Andrew Worth is a successful Australian journalist. He has already finished a positive documentary on gender migration. There are now seven genders in the world -- ufem, female, ifem, asex, imale, male, and umale. Ufem and umale individuals exaggerated their sexual characteristics to become "stuffed toys and lingerie". Ifems and imales deemphasize their original characteristics and seek out alternate sets of distinct cues. Asexes escape the headaches of sex by excising their genitalia and related brains parts in favour of a simple urethra. He has also finished another documentary on "abuse" of biotech. Finding the network-dictated angle distasteful, Andrew turns down an offer to cover Distress, a new exotic disease. Instead, he heads to the renegade island of Stateless to cover the presentation of a possible Theory of Everything at the Einstein Centenary Conference by Violet Mosala, a renowned South African physicist. Stateless is a floating Anarcho-Syndicalist utopia in the Pacific. It was founded in the early 21st Century by Californian genetic engineers who stole every patented gene they could lay their hands on and started a growth of floating coral in the international waters. Much of its population consists of real Pacific islanders whose homes were inundated by the rising sea levels. www.utsc.utoronto.ca/~02petraz/reviews_d.shtml

Well, there were 12 votes to the age poll and only 6 votes to the gender one. Is half of our membership genderless? Are half of the people more embarassed about their gender then their age? I'm confused.

vagithug, you are surely the ufem I've always dreamed you to be. ;p
Note the reference in the post in this thread to Anarcho-Syndicalism.
