1b. If so, why?

2. Have any of you ever been in a discussion on these forums where knowing a persons gender would have made a difference in the discussion? By this I mean in relation to the topic, and not because "boys can't get pregnant so their opinions don't matter" type of thinking?

3. How many times have you run into someone being bothered that you got their gender "wrong" on the forums?

These are polling questions, so don't try to read into them.
1 No.
2 No. Don't frequent those topics where it might actually matter to some extent (which are enough one could count with one hand).
3 Yes, I have got "the gender they say they have" wrong and correction post followed; maybe once or twice in the entire time I've been here.
