If you joined Facebook last night the same thing would have happened.  The reason is because your public profile is exactly that - public!  It's the same with almost all social networks, not just us.

However, while Facebook insists that you should use your real name or risk having your account closed, at The Gender Society we know that the vast majority of our members want to use their femme names and so we are happy with that.  Most members don't want to use their drab names and we understand that so we have never asked our members to provide their real names.  You can call yourself Crazy Girl or even Minnie Mouse if you want and it's not a problem.

Furthermore, we offer extensive privacy controls which allow you to decide just who can see your profile (just you, only friends, friends and networks or the whole world).  It's up to you.  Just click on the settings link at the very top of the page.

The privacy we offer is way beyond that allowed by other sites.  Surely we can't be fairer than that.
