IrishEyes:Makes Blacks invisible.

WheelsOnFire:Makes disability invisible.

Genuine1:I can’t see how gender has a particular role in violence.

Mythter:Aw, come on!

Gyrl:::turning slowly to Genuine1:: You’re a guy, right?

Catch 22:Maybe the point is that gender just IS—biologically and culturally—but we don’t have to be stuck with its nuances.

IrishEyes:I like that one, Catch.

Private Message to Gyrl

Mythter:You seem to have a lot of answers!

Gyrl:::flustered:: No, no… I chew on the questions. That’s all.

Mythter:I like that in a gyrl/boy.

Gyrl:::shy grin:: Thanks.

Webster:Gyrl, you have some questions sent to me by PM waiting for you. You still here?

Gyrl:Ummmm, Got lost in a couple of PMs. Sorry.

Private Message to Mythter

Gyrl:Bad bad bad bad bad! See what you made me do? ::laughing::

Mythter:::chuckling::

Catch 22:I’ve begun to realize that I need a definition of “gender” from Gyrl.

Gyrl:::laughing merrily:: How about: gender is a category.

Gyrl:A classification.

Gyrl:Nothing more than that.

Catch 22:Am I the only nut here who *likes* the distinctions of gender?

IrishEyes:Viva la difference!

Gyrl:I love distinctions in gender, Catch… I just think there’s more than two to like, that’s all.

Mythter:<---loves distinctions, just wish they were “cross” genderal, so we all could have more fun.

Private Message to Mythter

Gyrl:Cross genderal… way cool term!

Mythter:Something *I’m* chewing on.

Gyrl:So, you’re a writer?

Mythter:::ducking my head:: Nah, I just tell stories sometimes.
