Is it possible to look at someone and regard them without paying attention to their gender? I guess this is a question of equality, but does anyone find that they look at someone and don't think of them in terms of 'male' or 'female'?
I understand thinking of someone as 'him' or 'her', since that's more of a means of identifying someone, the same as 'blonde' or 'brunette', but is it possible to look at someone and think 'him' [i]without[/i] also thinking 'male' or 'guy' and vice versa?

Sorry, random contemplative moment.
