I would like to see a way to select weather or not boys can see girls only posts and of course the same for the boys. So we can discuss more intimate subjects we may not want the other sex to read.

hmm [-]this is a good idea[/-]. on another teen forum, I've seen something like this:

there were two forums, one for boys and one for girls. You have to PM an admin to get permission to get to one of those forums. the admin probably checks whether you're female or male and then gives you access...

the only problem is, people can fake their gender and stuff ....:/

And the people who don't pick a gender marker?

I think this is a pretty bad idea. This leaves room for members to say things about other members, ask some weird questions about other members and even bash other members. If you can't be a part of the community here, then don't post. This is a help site, not somewhere to come and possibly hide things from other members. I understand that you don't want someone to see a question about them - but if we allowed everybody to do this it would morph into something entirely different than what you are talking about. If we did this it would just make users able to push other users away, which could also make other users a little bitter since people just aren't letting them view their threads.

Sapphire_Flames also has a very good point about the other suggestion. What about the users who don't have a gender marker? What about users who consider themselves to be the opposite gender in mind, but in body they are of the opposite sex? That idea leaves them up in the air.

Disagree, PM a member of staff if you need to ask a question or talk about someone.

This spells out precisely why this is a bad idea brilliantly.

exactly the problem.

so in the end, I also think it's a bad idea (OP's idea)

You cant do that here. Because if I m a boy and i want to see what you girls discuss about, i can sign in like a female with a fake profile

If you don't want to see something don't look at it
