gender
Friday, October 26, 2001 by feline | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
It seems that there is a certain amount of confusion about the gender of my mind.
It seems from what people are saying that my mind appears to sit somewhere between male and female genders.
This seems quite normal to me, but seems to be generating un-necessary confusion. So lets turn the question on its head. According to certain philosophical thinkers (that would be me
) my current body is only a transitory collection of molecules (which most here are unlikely to ever meet), while my mind has and will exist across many many bodies. So if for the sake of postings on this board my body is ignored, what is my gender, and does it matter?
I suspect the only reason it matters is that people react differently to me if I am perceived as male or female. But surely I am just me? A lot of people who have met me would agree that “me” is sufficient definition
So I am curious, why do people think that I am the gender that they think I am, does it matter to them, and if so why?
feline decides this is all far to serious, so time to change tack
if the majority conclude my mind is primarily female, is it ethically acceptable for me to use my long lashes and preoccupying cleavage to get chocolate out of men?
ps for the sake of Jafo, I have made an exception and put this though Word, so any remaining spelling issues should be referred to Microsoft

Ahhh...the dragons.
Yes, the dragons know and hear all..ask them if you're confused about elfkura.
Better yet, if you catch a squirrel, ask them about me..they'll be more than happy to fill you in..even tell you what size panties I wear.....

I think Feline is a Hermaphrodite.
or a hermit crab
or a hermans hermit
or a kermit the herman
or a herman munster
or a erm.... I give up!
Maybe you could post a picture of your genitalia, I guess THAT would solve the problem!

Changing the topic slightly...
Ever heard of the kinsey scale?
1..2..3..4..5
Where 1 is completely heterosexual and 5 is homosexual (5 is bisexual).
I've had friends of every category over the years though I'm personally a 1. Where would you rate yourselves?

Make no mistake people!!!

....i have one or two gay friends (that would say FRIENDS), and i have to say that there have been a few people that have thought i was gay, simply for just being a nice person???....i hate that!!! (not that I have 'anything against gay people)

Someone asked me the other day if I had ever slept with a gay man. I said,"no, but I've slept with a man who has!"
He then asked: Do you smoke after sex?
I replied "I don't know, I've never looked."
In case you are wondering, on the above scale, I am a -1.
There's not a gay bone in my body,(except for my very limp wrist.)lol.

i doubt it
the people at work have just asked me how many of me (out of a set of 3.4 me's) are lesbians.
since they have been able to work out that i am currently biologically male, um, feline gives up in confusion

Frogboy - Ever heard of the kinsey scale?
yep
Frogboy - I've had friends of every category over the years though I'm personally a 1. Where would you rate yourselves?
um, am i allowed complex numbers?
somewhere around:
sin(x)*(2 + 4*sqrt(-1))
where x is the number of the day of the year, so 1 to 356 or so, as a number of degree's
or to put it another way, i am not quite sure of my frame of reference
