        @lastpositivist @Amuly21 why can't you ask them what gender they identify with? otherwise aren't you imposing a gender on them?

        @lastpositivist @Amuly21 i think most gender/sexuality scholars will tell you gender is "performative" which tells you something

        @Amuly21 @TropicsM Well I don't know what "gender" measures: I'd guess something like a complex of behaviours, dispositions, & preferences.
