We don't have to play by their rules
Jan. 31st, 2010 01:06 pmLJ's fucking with genderqueer/free people again. And not in the fun way
Quoth someone in comments: In what world is "it's personal" less offensive than "unspecified"? Unspecified implies no motive, whereas it's personal? Makes it seem like I'm trying to hide or be coy about my gender.
I'm sure for some people 'it's personal' is a fine option. And really? Yes, my gender is personal, I think it's only really important to me and Bitch. But to the world? Unspecified/other (which are usually the best options I get) let it be known that I'd rather you not code me by what my bits are.
Fuck this shit. I really need to get around to making a personal account on Dreamwidth.
On the plus side, this angry seems to have chased off the headache I've been dealing with since last night.
