all that gender jazz

Remember how the generic pronoun "he" was considered sexist, and now we're supposed to write the contraction "s/he" to mean "she or he"? Well, it's pretty clear that this discriminates against nongendered species as well as inorganic objects. Thus I propose the written contraction "s/h/it" to mean "she, he, or it."

what about the 'species' that are both genders at once?

HybriSapiens?

From mixing hybrid and homo sapiens ? Hehehe.. i dunno.

Well nowadays its only when you are writing very intellectual stuff like University reports or shit like that, that you really need to becareful about how you play with things like that.

But out in the real world like if you and me were talking we wouldn't really be bothered, unless you are talking to a librarian or something...
