Sexual Ambiguity of KMC posters
Has anyone noticed as of late..that many posters who appear to be men..actually turn out to be chicks, and vice a versa? What's going on with this upsurge of androgyny? Should KMC make a requirement that a users "sex" should be displayed in every post to avoid any confusion?
Discuss

I've had that confuse me more than once. I think I'm talking to a girl when I'm talking to a guy.
Why does a guy put a girl in his avatar?

If people are stupid enough to have severe problems just asking if a poster is a guy or girl or not then I don't think they deserve to be catered for.

1. I doubt they will tell you the truth, and 2. who cares...and if you really know the person then they should be honest enough.

Same thing happened with xmarksthespot. Backfire referred to him as "she"..lol..

well good on yah bro'....but i'd rather not use a pic of me as an avvy. not that there's anything wrong with it. but i like girls, and im more than likely to put up pics of girls to look at, why? must be the dude in me....i dont ever assume anyone on KMC is either a guy or girl by their avvy. and if they're profile doesn't say it...you can always ask. never hurts ya know. if they don't answer or are vague with their answers, does it really matter?

Was that an insult? If it was, it was the strangest one ever heard.

If someone wants to post without a gender reference power to them does it really matter at the end of the day on the net?

It is only my problem, I make assumptions based on gender.

No actually it doesn't. Most of this thread was just based on the two incidents I mentioned above..about Shaky and X. Not a real serious issue, rather a satirical one. Man...I didn't think you guys would take this topic soo seriously..lol.
