I just heard about this and thought some of you might be interested. Short notice, I know, but it sounds like it will be good! I'm going to get to as many presentations as my schedule will allow!

I have a sheet listing all the presenters and topics, so if it sounds like something you might be interested in I can maybe give you a bit more information?

Is this conference going to focus on developing whole new genders, so that we can have a truly mulit-gendered society. Or is it about the same old boring genders?

Tragically I think it's going to focus on women and men. Your idea sounds even more interesting though

Although there are probably some societies with third (or fourth or fifth...) genders that will be discussed, and yeah. All that good stuff.
