Hello Bin, Magenta, Gum et al, well I quoted Gore Vidal before who said that all people are born bisexual, they just don't practise it, and I think most of us have repressed any feelings as innappropriate or larded over them our learned reaction of repulsion. And I truly believe almost all gender characteristics are cultural and family based, there is one tribe in Africa, I've been wracking my brain to remember the name, but the men sit with their cattle all day long, gossiping and doing each other's hair and applying georgeous make up on their faces, while the no-nonsense women are tending the crops and running the village. -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

In reply to: Bin! 's message, "Love it, Magenta- the compartmentalizing bit- yeah, I don't think one "chooses" how to be because that leads to the fact that they could just as well choose NOT to be that.. and if THAT were the case then there wouldn't be so many people imprisoned and murdered now for being who they are-- if they could choose, they would simply choose not to be what is the "offending" type and keep their life and dignity." on 13:45:25 07/10/01 Tue
