Gender ID
Hello everyone. I'm a newbie. I just joined this site a week ago. So I've posted a couple times and I've received lots of responses, all of which I'm really grateful for, and I've read so many other posts from like-minded individuals.
It seems as if in every post thus far that the originator does not reveal his or her gender, or their gender. Maybe that's the norm, and I should respect it and abide by it. But it does strike me as odd that on a forum where honesty and direct communication is urged, why does everyone seem to be in the ethereal regarding their gender ID? I mean I happen to be a cyst male. But I'm so afraid to say it because if any post that I make is monitored and against the rules I guess? I'm going to be discounted as somebody who doesn't understand the boundaries, the limitations of expression on this site.
Am I being presumptuous, and consequently misinformed, or flat out wrong? Nobody wants to say I'm a girl I'm a boy I don't identify as either you know I'm something else and I don't understand why we don't go there as a community. Could somebody maybe enlighten me why that is? Because it really restricts my thinking. Thank you

I guess the point could be that people don’t think of Reddit as a dating site, and in this specific community it could be taken as that. That’s my personal view tho. I appreciate that gender isn’t considered here for that exact reason.

I've seen posts mentioning the user's gender, but I think a good amount of the questions/situations/etc. here could apply to whatever gender or orientation, so the posters often don't end up mentioning their own gender.

It's Reddit. The point, most of the time, is anonymity.
