I'm afraid I'm going to post and run as I have to dash to work now, but this has just come up on my fb feed:

www.efdss.org/about-us/what-we-do/news/10461-gender-free-calling-why-does-it-matter

Haven't read it properly (I will as soon as I can during the day!) to see what points it's making or whether I agree with them, but thought I'd share.

There isn't much/any? gender woo in my job/life/community. This is the first time I've seen this in a folky context (although I know how prevalent it is in the arts).

All calling I have heard is sex and gender free anyway because you have no idea who will be where dancing with whom

It probably makes sense tbh if you are dancing with a same sex partner for whatever reason.
