I honest to god have no idea what happened in the gender thread, yet I keep seeing people alluding to it every now and again. I've gotten as far as this without getting involved and it seems like whatever the problem was resolved itself, though, so.

it was more like a lot of yelling, then lots of yelling about the same opinion, then lots of agreeing to never try to talk about that topic again, except in allusions to how awful it was.

I'd link the topic but I feel that it no longer represents the majority of people who posted in it. Suffice to say you are all better people now. to answer the questions:

 

-The gender thread was caused by a lack of exposure to the topic on some people's part and a heavy exposure on others. People with no understanding of gender not equaling sex were having a hard time acclimating to a groundbreaking concept and people with deep understanding were naturally eager to encourage them accepting the concept. The best way to avoid this in the future is to understand that concepts sometimes take getting used to before you straight-up accept them.

 

-The value compromised most by the Gender thread was friendship, plain and simple. We all want to get along, and when the concept of gender =/= sex divided opinions people got scared that we wouldn't be able to get along. You can't really walk away from a topic like that either though, because it compels you to stand up for something you deeply believe in. We were stuck between a rock and a hard place, and it scared a lot of people because it made the value of friendship so hard to keep.
