If so, does it apply only if the gravatar looks like a person, or does it also apply to animals and monsters?

Does it matter if the gravatar, while ungendered, is already wearing things that belong to one gender?



Dave Y ez


Does it only matter if the gravatar was created 13 (or 12) years ago or longer?
