I do understand, but don't agree. IMHO, if my contributions are otherwise valid, then my actual gender should be irrelevant. Especially in a forum open to public view and participation, preventing someone who may have valid input from responding just because of their gender seems absurd to me.

I usually browse "All Posts" (across all servers & communities) by default without much concern for what specific community I'm looking at in order to avoid locking myself into echo chambers (among other benefits of seeing posts I might otherwise not see). I'm deliberately attempting to avoid limiting what types of perspectives I see so that I can strive to be as well-rounded & informed a person as I can manage to be.

Regardless, I've no desire to cause trouble. Therefore I will block your community in order to ensure I don't unintentionally stir the pot.

Chao.
