A friend was noticing that his profile on a web forum said he was female. I helped him change it to male. Here's what he said:

"Wow, radical surgery. I had just rolled it over
to undeclared in order to ease through the
transition. I mean let's face it, in that moment
my salary and prospects for advancement just
increased dramatically, I have a broad base of
representation in government, and I can wear
comfortable shoes no matter what the occasion.
What a wonderful day!"

Don't you just adore men who are clued in about gender? :-)

Indeed I do. (-:

I feel sorry for him, though. I can't imagine what it would feel like to have to step DOWN a rung in the chain of evolution. heh... :-)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Heh. I think he can handle the pain.

You don't find it just as offensive when people are sexist against people who aren't female?

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

1) I don't agree with your premise.

2) No, I don't.

3) I don't really have the energy for this discussion today, but if you want to pursue it, we could perhaps do it another day.

Must be tough! ;-)

I thought it was only heterosexual women who weren't allowed to wear comfortable shoes--learn something all the time.

My new workboots are almost broken in, but I wouldn't call 'em comfy yet. ;-)

Do let me know if you find a cute one that I haven't already dated...

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Will do, sweetcheeks. *smooch* (Not that I'd know who you'd dated and who you hadn't.)

My eight-year-old Arthur likes to change his profile information back and forth between male and female every so often -- he thinks it is kind of amusing and that it doesn't matter what he puts in a field like that anyway.

Absolutely!

Do you think your friend would mind if I saved this in a quote file and/or reposted it in my own journal?

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Nope, but he did say he might've lifted some pieces of it. :-)
