Hey, since you talk about genders, I want to ask a question that has been in my mind for a while.
What's the difference between gender and sex?

Here is an answer to that (I just did a little research)
Sex = male and female
Gender = masculine and feminine
According to my source.. sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs while gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine.

Quoting ivy: Strangely, a large percentage put none. I was trying to remember the word which meant neither male nor female. I thought it began with a U ??? |
Androgynous
(although it doesn't start with a 'U')

Maybe it would be nice if our administrators (or the ones who keep this site up to date) could also put AGE in it?
I mean, i would understand if you would rather keep your age to yourself (tho actually, whats there to be ashamed of?!)
I often notice I would like to know what age people are, just..as in being curious? Or maybe wondering why someone says such beautiful things? Due to life-experience?
And I've always preferred GENDER over SEX.. because then you always have those 'funny' people, that say:
Gender: female / male (whatever)
Sex: anyplace, anytime, anywhere
