As snails and some parasites (like Fasciola hepatica *shudder* not my favourite parasite!) are hermaphrodites and there's a species of frogs that are ALL females (they just lay eggs that pretty much are a clone of the mother) and some species of flies have 5 sexes (super male and super female being two of them ) and many many more examples in Nature
But yes, like Asaryu said "Sex is a fact of life. Gender is a construction." And we have no right to decide on someone's gender just because we cannot understand that person. On the other hand, human beings are usually cathegorized as either man or woman for practical matters, cause not everyone goes around wondering whether we should put a couple extra cathergories. Whether we should or shouldn't, that's another issue.

My suggestion (because I'm too lazy to go to the Suggestion thread): Split by name. A-M and N-Z, or whatever will make the contestants half and half. And then have a "no tits" rule because honestly, despite HAVING THEM, my sense of weirdness at taking pictures of my tits makes me not take pictures of my tits, leading to me not have tit-pictures for bribery.
And I think I broke a new record for usage of the word tit in a post.

So by removing "tit pictures", you remove a fun part of the forum, all for the sake of appeasing a user who took offence in something that wasn't intended to upset!

But that's your choice. Just as it's theirs to use them. It's like...okay - say this rumoured "cute ass" contest happens. If you choose to wear big old granny-panties, or knickerbockers, you probably won't be winning. But you enter and wear them anyways. Meanwhile, the other girls all wear thongs, or Frenchies, or nothing (etc etc), and they stand a better chance. S'all it is.
Well, the cute ass competition is a little more cut and dry an example.
Someone shouldn't feel like they can't enter an ebilness competition just cos they aren't willing to flash the goods. It doesn't make sense. The boobs aren't what the competition is about, the ebilness is.
It's a matter of what is appropriate for each competition. Hence my suggestion for the groupings to be based on ebilness, so that people who do not feel comfortable with showing off their breasts somewhat arbitrarily can instead enter in a less uncomfortable and hostile arena.

Ok, arguing over whether the issue at hand is worth our time isn't doing anything for it, so I'm hoping the next time I speak of it, I may add something of importance to it.
