That's what I love about the Celler - the variety of people who post here. Like Wolf is the only pagan conservative I've encountered on line, never mind real life. Maggie is the only gay (transgered? bi-sexual?) republican I've met on line, IRL.

And UT wanted to ban me for losing my temper and posting all red caps? Oh, well. Rock on everybody!

I'm more libertarian than Republican. And as long as we're label-mongering I'm both bisexual and transsexual.

And an aside...where I come from, "IRL" is an abbreviation for "in real life", which seems the opposite of what you intended....did you perhaps mean IIRC ("if I recall correctly")?

That WAS at typo. I meant "on line OR in real life."

I don't mean to label ANYONE. I know and am friends with several bi-sexual and transgendered folks. They call themselves that. I call myself "staight." The only label that matters is "human being" which we all are. No offense intended.

None taken. I wasn't bristling as much as it may have looked like in raw text.

Transsexual is pretty much a matter of fact in my case; not subject to dispute...and being bisexual is kind of a blast, once you figure out that's what you are. As Ellen said, "There's twice as many rides at Bi-Land".

It's really only a headache when dealing with monosexuals (of both flavors) who don't seem to be able to grok, and want to explain to you that you're wrong. ;-)

Ah...proper attribution would be:

from "Omaha, The Cat Dancer" by Reed Waller and Kate Worley.

No, for acting like an ass and deserving a grapefruit in the face. Remember you have not been vindicated, only reprieved.

Well, I think I got SEVERAL grapefruits in the face. I apologized for posting in all red caps. That was rude. What was done to me was rather rude, as well. I don't expect vindication. And I actually don't beleive I'm all that long for the Cellar. But that's life.
