Ok, who was supposed to make coffee for this meeting?

I majored in coffee-making.

I can make the coffee.

Do I have to wear the French Maid outfit?

Please say yes.

Dangit, I miss all the fun! I love dressing guys up like Barbies. Which is weird, because I don’t generally get off to cross-dressers. Only guys that I can get to cross-dress for me. Yeah, it’s a dom thing.

Oh. Er… Maybe that was TMI.

Ed*ard Teller: Thanks much. That bit of news brightened my life…except that I’m left wondering which side the FBI is on (I hope it’s the side of the Constitution…they take oaths too). But then I think maybe this administration has pissed them off enough that they’re remembering techniques from the Nixon years, and then I get hopeful again. (I hope that makes sense) Jayzus it’s time for bed.</p> P.S. Ed*ard Teller: Thanks much.

Swopa- I had a typo in the original, which I quickly edited, but I wanted to make sure that people saw the edit.

Typo: if the xys are nice…
Meaning: if the xys aren’t nice, they get the shit kicked out of them.

So yes, it does make a difference as to whether they’re nice or not. But “nice” is kinda a girly word, so I should have said “respectful and non-sexist”. And, in the original “nice” phraseology, I was speaking specifically to behavior at FDL, not to the complexities of life in the larger world. “Nice” is again too girly for what I meant. But, even what with “respectful” and “non-sexist” as givens, there are still many complexities when it comes to interactions between xxs and xys.

To say nothing of the interactions with the ??s around the Lake – some of the handles folks use make it damn near impossible to come up with pronouns, especially when looking at new commentors – and some of the mistakes about a person’s gender and the subsequent apologies have led to some interesting discussions, to say the least.
