Holly, I completely agree that it should make no difference whether you are responding to a male or female. I also accept that reactions and responses will differ depending on the perception of the reader. BUT, I consider it the responders problem if he/she doesn't consider the content of my post. I personally do not wish to "self-edit" my posts to insure that the reader is clueless to my sexual identity. (I 'm fully aware there a some valid reasons why one would, though.) If a responder conveys an inappropriate attitude simply because of my gender, I choose not to engage in discussion with that person. Real discourse can only be had with individuals whose opinions you respect. >>We all had hoped that Internet communication would prove to be the great leveler. May it still can be.<< NOT if it means that you feel you have to hide your sexual identity. I'm afraid such practice conveys exactly the opposite.
