The male symbol has an arrow. The female symbol has a t. Why not merge the two and cross the arrow. So you have a t with an arrow point on the end. Steve

I have a new favorite. Should we vote on designs.

How about a circle with a vertical stroke going down? That is, same as the female symbol but with the crossbar removed. Looks rather plain vanilla, like eunuchs. We're neither chili pepper nor chocolate.

As we decide on a eunuch holiday I think we should also decide on the eunuch symbol.

The standard symbols for male and female are those of the planets Mars and Venus. To me, it would make sense to continue with the astronomical connections. The SUN, centered and neutral, is a circle with a dot in the center. Easy to draw, and clearly different from a zero or the letter O.

That sounds like the best idea yet. Should we vote or just adopt the circle with the dot in the center as our symbol?

Circle with dot, would that annoy 'Sun' students ?
Circle with three dots as an inverted triangle - remnants ?
A circle within a circle - not anything but a nicely rounded whole ?

How about a circle with a minus inside as opposed to the arrow and plus on the outside.

How about the Male circle with the arrow drouped (flacid) would not that be a suitable symbol?

I like the concept of the drooping arrow -- indicative of a penis now useless for sex -- but would like to suggest as an alternative the circle and arrow minus the arrow's head -- symbolizing surgically eliminated male sexuality.
