Please tag your posts with your gender
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.
What do you think?
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).
It’s also something I’m considering ! There would be a bit less content but we could keep this sub for [f] only and create a [m] only sub for filtering purposes, [t] I suppose would be welcome in the community they identify with.
But that would maybe be a bit less inclusive, I don’t know

Be a bit more cautious with your assumptions, good sir. People can hold worthwhile ideas different from yours and express them in good faith in ways you’re not familiar with, or be a bit clumsy with their language and make you get an idea they didn’t intend.
I see mixed opinions in this thread and I’d like to understand what you think… Would someone be interested to explain where they disagree? Maybe because you feel that people are dismissing gender identity as less important than sex features?
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)
