		<description>Ari,

While the most recent attempt at an official gender verification within a client did not have wide spread support, I feel that in the various communities, gender verification is something that is desired.  This is based on how people demand to know your gender when you won&#039;t reveal it, when people started using voice and were relieved that the women were really women and with the speech chilling way terms like mangina are used.  And it has been asked for as a technical aspect before, along with country of origin.

		<description>Re: @dagger

Would you care to share with us non-high schoolers what exactly a nerd is?
Most people stop differentiating when they become mature but clearly you have missed that memo. If you are referring to free-thinking and innovative intellectuals who refuse to suppress their identities at the whim of others then I wear the title with pride. The only people still using the term &#039;nerd&#039; are usually the exact opposite of this. Condensing their pathetic thought-processes into a few paragraphs would surely be unpleasant for them. Someone whose life revolves entirely around the suppression of their true self in favor of acceptance is extremely pathetic. They wast their whole lives and all of their potential on a bunch of lost people who are also trapped in conformity and going nowhere. In the end, what exactly does this get you? Usually it means you&#039;re broke and friendless because all of your so-called friends are two-faced backstabbers who will betray you in an instant just as they betray themselves to a completely transparent illusion perpetrated by other conformists. Gee, that sounds like a successful and happy life. Not.

tl;dr: Enjoy your fail. Appearances can be deceiving. *hope this helps*

		<description>I see it as this
If you are gay male or straight female: I&#039;m a girl
If you are a straight male or Lesbian: I&#039;m a guy
If you are Bi my name is HAL 9000 and in a relationship with Dave

		<description>I&#039;m just curious as hell where you got &quot;gender verification&quot; from.

No such thing has or will exist with SL. You *know* that, or you simply don&#039;t pay any attention and rather take what you haven&#039;t paid any attention to and misinform others.

But so be it, most people are far too gullible and pathetic to do their own research that they take almost everything presented to that as face value, rather than hearsay.

Meh.

		<description>the universe is one huge animated holographic sculptyfest. you are all simulacra. This is the biggest LOL on those who tell you to get a real life. There is only a choice of living in a really nice simulation (what you refer to as &#039;reality&#039;) in which for 99.99% of you, your life sucks ass and the PTB keep it that way, or living in a shitty simulation (i.e. SL or other &#039;virtual worlds&#039;) in which you can still become anything you strive to become with hard work and creativity. Hell of a choice.

		<description>@ Brinda;

I pretty much will post anything other than websites that advertise gold for cash because I believe that even if it might be mean spirited or lacks understanding, its still worthwhile to be heard.

		<description>I am surprised at the vitriol displayed in the comments. I think it is a good thing to keep the RL gender of a player maskled to other users.  The gender verification only serves the needs of Adverizers and the Militant. There really is no need for this. The Age Verification I do see something fo a need for in terms of legal issued but there is no legal need for Gender verification.

For the guys if youa re afraid of sticking your E-dick into a fake woman, Rather than just fash cash and have them go down in the dating mathod of Eddie Murphy spend some time talking with them A.) this is a social environment, BE SOcail, and 2.) After a while of conversation it&#039;s pretty easy to tell who is and who isn&#039;t an RL woman.
