I don't want to invite misgivings, but I definitely see TW as genderless... Maybe because outside of biological definitions I am finding it hard to define what "gender" is... and so, especially in this context.
I am hard-coded biologically as one of the two, but in so many areas I don't fulfill the socially-defined role. And I think TW is like that as well. If I'm defining gender to its most base, biological sense... then TW has reproductive organs that can't be classified as either male or female, *and *it can reproduce on its own. Hermaphroditic asexual reproduction, yeah :) While grammatically, I think genders in languages like Panjabi and French, belong to unassuming, harmless classification. Maybe let's drop anything beyond that. Whatever schools of thought envelope "gender", I hope won't get applied to TW. -JD On Saturday, July 7, 2018 at 10:42:17 PM UTC+9, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Let's wait and see what at least one woman thinks.
