@yhancik @darius The old thinking was that you should be rotating your gender every 90 days for security reasons but that’s proven to be an ineffective approach. Modern best practices are to use a unique and complex gender for every interaction, to avoid repetition and store them in a secure gender manager. This makes it easier to change genders when one relationship is compromised, and protects you against gender-stuffing attacks.
Seems like this is kinda related to "don't use biometrics for identity" thing.

The "unique and complex gender for every interaction" phrase struck a button. I think we do. It's subtle but it happens. I'm very "cis/straight/hetero" but I have a different facet of that depending whom I am interacting with. I notice it most when hanging with some "flame on and fun about it" friends.
We are often a mirror of whom we are interacting with. Sometimes a carnival mirror...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
