How does it weaken a post? You've really confused me on that one.
I keep my gender undeclared on my profile precisely BECAUSE I think it doesn't and shouldn't matter. All too often in life what we say and do is filtered by others through a gender schema/race schema/etc., which changes their perception of our words/actions.
Depending on the subject, my posts often make it clear what my gender is. But for posts where it isn't an issue...why does it matter?
