Gender confusion lurking around every corner....

I have just noticed that increasing numbers of SYM males have adopted girl avatars... So I have to ask, are the young men of SYM undergoing some sort of ritualistic group bonding or do they simply enjoy presenting themselves as pretty girls?
Perhaps they all need help remembering the nature of their... ahem... 'equipment'

You're generaling the young men of SYM here. I do not count myself among the ones that are truly messed up.

Did you notice that CM's avater is one of a purple female? If he is to be our instructor, you can expect a serious invasion of transsexualism
And SYMistan is about to become a matriarchal state

Bastard! Damn you I don't know what to say.
Secondly i have decided. I am no longer genderless. I have picked a gender. It is male. Now please do not include me in your perverted debauchery. I have to maintain a certain reputation so sayeth the one with the lease.

Just be happy she ain't around! Otherwise you shall suffer a considerable amount of pain or if lady luck still hates me she could just as easily turn on me.

DW,
I think he's talking about winter rose. And regarding the gender confusion, I suppose most males feel inferior in the presence of the staff of the ram, not that their choices give me any comfort.

Bah, I happen to use the picture in my avatar for personal reasons. It helps me remember someone I loved dearly and recall mistakes that were made. I don't know why other people are using similar things but thats my reason. I don't see any point in putting something up thats "masculine" to make everyone think I'm more "manly". I know who I am, and how I am and thats good enough for me. I could ask the same of other people who use pictures portraying something different from themselves. Why a cartoon, or why a picture of what you wish you looked like, etc?
