Gender stuff

What's with the gender stuff? Especially the tendency of some posters to use ``ey'', ``them'', et cetera. Am I missing some fad that you guys are getting yourselves into in your real life OR some other online forum/community?

I am aware of the LGBT movement and whatnot, so that's that? Some of us here are part of this movement? Is it because of your ``openmindedness'', or are you a lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender?

Or perhaps it's some semantics enthusiast who longs for a gender-neutral spoken language?

If you want my sincere opinion, I think this whole thing is dumb. As dumb as getting a hissy fit on the use of the word ``nigger''. (or ``jew'')

Honestly I want to believe that /prog/ is populated by smart beings who don't have such stupid intellectual preconceptions. But you are lucky if such are your intellectual preconceptions: It's easy for others to point them out to you, and it's easy for you to understand them. What about me? I have no popular misconceptions. All my misconceptions are dark corners in an otherwise lit room. Nobody will point them out. Will I find out by myself?

I, for one, hate gender as it limits behaviour for no good reason.

I am a man who likes 2D girls. I hate parties, people talking about football annoy me, I don't do drugs, I always leave the toilet lid down and I dislike TV whores. According to societythe niggers out there, I am not a man. However, everyone still calls me a ``he'' because I don't have breasts or a soft high-pitched voice.

You are taking this too seriously. A gendered pronoun isn't going to kill you or condition you to like dicks overnight.
