Help! I lost my gender!

Postby EireWolf » Wed Jan 07, 2004 6:53 pm

Members of CAA, UNITE! You have nothing to lose but your gender anonymity!

(In other words... Could we please reinstate the gender symbols?) :sweat:

It looks like even though the genders don't appear in posts, they can still be seen in that user's profile if they opted to let it be shown. I guess that's our workaround for the time being (until someone posts a better idea).

The symbols that we had before. Look below your avatar and user title. There can be the category "Gender" in yellow text and have the gender in the white text there fore adding to the list that there already exists and could be clutter, but this is an alternate idea.

So much talking... so little discussion.

I'd love to help you (as I think the symbols are helpful to have), though mine has always been blank anyway. But that would be straylight's area, so I can't, really.

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry, I can't think of anything else to say. I would, however, not mind if we had genders again. Okay... I did have something else to say.:)

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Yes, yes, it had to be said. If he hadn't said it, someone would have had to say it for him.

I'll admit, it can be helpful at times (and this is something I admit only because I've left my own blank). It, along with the age category, is a helpful addition.

it's nice to know what gender and age the individual I'm replying to sometimes in a thread....Y'know, the "know your audience before you speak" practice..........so it's great to have the gender back! :thumb:
