I'll have two rule number 9s, a rule number 9 large, a rule number 6 with extra dip, a rule number 7, two rule number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda."
Do you really mean "gender"? Bc for the viewer it might not important if someone is pangender, non-binary, etc. What might be more of interest is their sex, i.e. their plumbing.
I don't disagree with you, but I'd be curious how you would easily tag such posts? And I mean that in that nicest way and with full respect. Because (to be blunt) I think it boils down to most people wanting an idea of what's behind Schrodinger's blur.
Maybe you could workshop some suggestions for the mods and try to get them in the sidebar or something?
He just wanted to be an ass.
But the idea (coming from reddit) is easy to do, just add [F], [M], [T] or whatever to the post so everyone knows what to expect.
Altough I'd go beyond that and just split the communities to make them specific (since there's no way to hide posts that we don't care about without blocking an entire community).
Given the confusion, maybe the mods would be willing to clarify the sidebar text to make it less ambiguous.
I agree that the sex features are more important in this context, but gender also has this double meaning, according to
Cambridge Dictionary: "used to refer to the condition of being physically male, female, or intersex (= having a body that has both male and female characteristics)"
Merriam-Webster, which also has a usage guide for sex/gender (in nonmedical and nontechnical contexts, there is no clear delineation, and the status of the words remains complicated)
