I’ll have to read it – but my opinion is that sex and gender are generally exclusive. However when sex involves gender issues then it’s a different story. You’re discussing the how, why, where, when, what’s of gender in sex.

Does that explain it well??

In reply to sxychikadee. Actually, it was not any comments of yours of which I was thinking when I posted this. However, it was a reply in that thread which seemed to indicate as such.

Ummm… assuming you’re speaking of my post about pronouns (?)

Actually, it wasn’t my intention to suggest that a community interested in sex is interested in discussing gender issues – it was more that I really had no idea how to write about my FTM partner in my reviews. The logistics can be frustrating.

I generally see sex and gender as exclusive of each other, unless I am writing about a sexual experience with someone who doesn’t fit into the binary male/female categories. When I write about those experiences, sex and gender are connected because I want to insure the gender of my partner is correctly identified out of respect to him.

Honestly though – gender was something I didn’t really consider much until I found myself involved in this relationship. Now gender is a subject of daily discussion in my world because it really is something we have to deal with daily.

I hope that clarifies…at least some. I know I ramble and sometimes the point gets lost. 🙂
