Gender and sex options for registering

[Brooke]

I read orchid forums to discuss orchids. I don't care what gender people are/were/will be, I want to hear what they like in orchids. I want to read/see their successes or I want to attempt to help with a problem. Even better, I want to post a picture and have someone go out and get that species because they love the picture.

If having only two choices to check for gender bothers someone, why not do away with the gender section? Does knowing I'm a female change any advice I give to someone?

Exactly. And also: if you chose a nickname without sex? How can I know if I must use she/her or he/his? Wouldn't be rude said it & its?

Now, a little digression: I think "EXTREME politically correct" is ridicolous. Just make an introduction-of-yourself thread as others did. Everybody will speak to YOU and not she/he -her/his.
This forum is a place for joining orchidlovers, share experiences, growning info, some jokes, pics of the plants, displays, shows and other orchid-related.

Sorry if my tone seems rude: probably in the process italian -> english it lost his real tone and meaning.
