I like [livejournal.com profile] lilairen's view of geek as a third gender.
This idea appeals to me intuitively, but wouldn't it essentially make any subculture with different social mores a new gender? Not that there's anything wrong with that--I'm all in favor of more genders--but it does suggest that any attraction-relevant axis ought to be considered a gender.
