Mockery of an individual for transgender identity or ambiguous gender expression IS 'gender bias', and it's not okay. The notion that people ought to be men or women and that certain kinds of men and women are the right kinds to be is the very same one that drives the bias you're decrying.
I never witnessed anything or experienced sexual harassment.Accusations of this are quite serious.Of course, sexual harassment is no joking matter.hans,I am sorry you cannot take a joke.

Well, this was an interesting thread.
I would like to chime in here for a moment.
While I have not experienced unwanted sexually advances by anyone at PLUG
in recent years, I will state there is a gender bias, definitely.
Some people may not experience this gender bias because, well frankly, we
are unsure of your gender...
That's uncalled for, especially right as you're claiming there is gender bias.
All joking aside, as a community, we really could be a little more
thoughtful, tactful and less like assholes.
Most of us do a good job. Over the years there have only been problems
with a few people. Most adjust their behavior when it's pointed out.
ciao,
