Careful to Not Mention

L, Elle: I'm pretty sure Fenelon is a man. I remember someone asking about his wife. Or if she is a woman, she could be a married lesbian.

FenelonSpouse is a school bus driver, last I heard.

FenelonSpoke has, I've noticed, been careful to not mention either Spoke or Spouse as m/f. Nor does FS correct those who presume, that I've seen. I have a lot of respect for that. It's not easy, as I know from watching discussion groups going back to pre-web CompuServe.

Anyway, we're all genderless pixels in gray boxes on this bus.

Reminds me of the study done on folks asked to describe babies.

Babies dressed in blue diapers were described as strong, handsome.

Babies dressed in pink diapers were described as sweet, pretty.

Babies dressed in yellow diapers... people actually peeked inside the diaper before giving an opinion.
