According to this thread: http://www.darrenshan.com/messageboard/viewthread/1203/ we are to decide ourselves.
So let’s do so.

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door,
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor,
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

I don’t see any reason why not.

Yes. Most sites have a gender option so why not this one?

It’s not really neccessary for this forum, I think. I don’t really care much for gender in forums. Sometimes it’s also fun to not know.
Mostly I get to know people through the ways they write and can tell, but don’t have to know for sure.

It really doesn’t bother me either way, I can usually tell if your a guy or girl from your posting style (and to a lesser extent depending on your username your username and profile pic, obviously these can be neutral and so don’t help much but yeah you get the idea)

Completely agreeing with grizz. it does have its advantages..But there are others who do respect and enjoy the privacy of not wanting anyone knowing whether or not they’re a guy or girl. We all have different perspectives of this situation.

I think the whole gender difference thing is overrated…

It could be info you don’t have to enter? so people who want to hide it can

The girl gazes up at me. She’s even younger than i thought, clutching a small teddy bear in one hand. “Are you the bogey man?” she whispers, eyes round. “Yes,” I croak, then take hold of her head with my huge, scarred, blood-socked hands and crush…
