I'm active on a Fuji-X camera photo forum. I don't do Facebook -I simply cannot deal with the minutia of other people's lives… (I've never been much good at small talk either), but I do have an account on Flickr, which has a bit of a forum-y component and on JungleDragon, a nature photography web site, which has it's own forum. Gender rarely comes into play on those sites and I've been using somewhat androgynous screen names so many times no one knows if I'm a man or a woman.

A little plug for JungleDragon - it's a really cool web site run by a single person because he wants to do it. It's a nature photography sharing web site with an emphasis on not only collecting photographs, but data as well, so geo-tagging (which he makes easy) and identifying species on the photographs is a big goal too. He runs it as a non-profit. There are no ads, no fees for a "better" account. http://www.jungledragon.com
