Suggestions & Feedback / Re: Extended gender options
« on: August 19, 2015, 09:10:44 AM »
I was just using that to highlight the gender-thing, in that those types of instructions are as useless to me as the gender thing. I probably shoulda picked something else to compare it to.
Like, I know how to be male, hormones in the right amount, male feelings and our reluctance to relate those to others, and all that. Grew up in a culture with pretty defined limits, the subject of gender was never discussed or mentioned. Mostly raised in the secrecy of the Elders, so to speak, not allowed to pry at their past lives, which I only leaned of in bits and pieces over the years. Never encountered "gays" in School, if there were (which I'm sure there was), they chose to keep it quiet and to themselves.
Not that I feel that I grew up in a repressed place or time....Just grew up learning that a person's private life and feelings are just that....Private. If they care to spill their guts on a public form, or social media, that's their decision, although that's not something I'd prefer to do. It doesn't matter what the gender (or non-gender) is to me, because I am looking to interact with Human Beings.
If we were just all like this, it wouldn't matter.......
