Poll: What is your gender?

24 pointsby TimothyBurgessover 14 years ago
I'm interested to see what kind of demographics we have here on HN. I suspect the majority are male but it would be interesting to see an approximate percentage of females.

You know, its kind of naive to use a binary to represent gender. Just throwing that out there.

Well, that's a huge surprise. Something to remember when topics of gender do come up: we are most of us male, and that influences the outlook.

By "What is everyone's gender?" I think you mean "What is your gender?" I do not think "everyone" has singular gender.
