I don't think it is inappropriate. I think it is stupid and inefficient to euphemize ANYTHING! Say it like how it is. Black girls are black girls! Have SEX

I don't think it is inappropriate. I think it is stupid and inefficient to euphemize ANYTHING! Say it like how it is. Black girls are black girls! Have SEX on the registration form, we don't need to change to GENDER. I also think no joke is inappropriate given the right context. However, as a human race (one who has developed advance language as a tool) we need to education our young on becoming aware of our own interpretation of the meaning of words. Mainly, we are responsible for making up the meaning of the word we hear/read, not the person who is saying the words. And it should human-being's number one priority to listen to what others are saying. Just listen. People who take offense to any verbal/written communication are just NOT emotionally matured, and they may want to take offense, and that is ok. It is certainly their rights and choice to do so. Verbal abuse doesn't exist, it is just a figment of imagination.

>Verbal abuse doesn't exist, it is just a figment of imagination. Tell that to psychologically damaged children who grew up with narcissistic parents. This is one of the most ignorant things I've seen around here. I expect this kind of stuff on reddit, but not here.

  Paper_ziggurat, I get your concerns about children. When I say "Verbal abuse" I am referring to it in the context of matured adults, which sometimes can be hard to find due to the idiosyncratic nature how all of human are raised. We are often matured in one area like professional life or career, and significantly immature in another like sex and personal/relationship. Sometimes truth said to us in those "armatured" area of our may occurs as Verbl abuse. I think any one who has had a good acting course will know this. The simple point may be best explain by this proverb: "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Oh and I don't read reddit.

It needs to be "gender" if they are extending these opportunities to people who identify as female, regardless of biology.

  sure, agreed. Sex exist on a continuum, then also include, Transsexuals. Before/after operation. It would be good to have sex to be a slider meter, or between scale of 1 to 10. M ---> F.
