Maybe I'm too anti-social but my role model were letters on the screen all along. Books and education materials belong to a "bit-gender", it's a piece of info and gender doesn't go in the play. I. e. in book written by Evi Nemeth and others I could not tell whether the respective part is written by she or he.

Maybe I'm too geeky and other people actually need physical humans like themself to cling to? :) That's a weird idea.
