While I can see why my post might give the impression that I think "gender is important and should be mentioned", the opposite is true. I don't care about gender at all! You can call me 'she', 'it' , 'they', 'he' or whatever you like. Gender is not part of my identity — or so I would like to think.

Perhaps that is precisely why I try to be somewhat creative and playful with gender terms. And forgiving. Yes, there is a reference to male and female in OM and YL. But there are also 'young' and 'old', and the ironic playfulness in using these categories. Why not focus on that aspect first? What is important to me is that we are human beings. However, terms such as 'operator' or 'significant other' are machine talk. I would leave those to artificial intelligence.
