You just need to learn how to be straightforward :-)

Judging by some of the freaks out there, an "M" or an "F" is an absolute necessity.

Unless, of course, gender means nothing whatsoever...in which case I'm off to the local Ladies' Holiday Spa shower room to get my spank on.

The financial institution for whom I used to work has a program where company "officers" and above had to take customer service calls for a few hours a month right alongside the standard "reps". It was some sort of effort to keep the management aware of the products and customer needs and whatnot.

Anyways, in my travels there the pitfalls were myriad. Lotsa of occasions thinking a voice was female, but it was just a young dude. That usually wasn't bad - I mean they were, like, the 14-yr old "authorized user" of the account and had to know their voice hadn't changed yet.

Oh, but the occasional chick that sounded like Barry White talking through a bag of gravel? That was always awkward.

My favorite was something like an account coming up as "Chris" and "Denise" in SF, CA. Denise was on the line trying to do something that she couldn't without the other person's input. I asked if I could speak to her husband. "Who?" "Chris...your...hus...er..." Chris[tine] came on the line and...whatever. At least they sounded pretty hot.

All sorts of neat stories...

That did occur to me. Thank God for the power of imagination! If Sesame Street had known what I'd be using it for...doubt they'd have been singing its virtues so much.

You just stay outta the corner with the little red round sticker on the wall. Thats been MY spank zone for quite awhile.

This is pissing me off. Now I have to fight to keep my "zone" free of other wankers.

Bunch of stupid ass people.

Gaddamn.

Doesn't tell us a lot.

What ?

Are you saying these things (Gender, Race and Place of Residence) are just imaginary "social constructs" created by humans for no sensible reasons ?

There's really no difference between a black person and an asian person ?

They sure look different.

There's really no difference between a male and a female ?

They sure look different.

Where I live is no different than another location on Earth ?

So I'm everywhere ? A citizen of every country be default ?

I'm being facetious. My intent was to provoke the very questions you asked.

My, what a thoughtful and insightful post! Thank you for bumping this thread that hadn't seen activity for a week so that you could share your kindergartenesque name-calling skills with us!

Can you maybe call someone a fag next?

As far as I know it is politically incorrect and sometimes against the rules to call someone what they are.

Re: San Fran and "Genderless" ID Cards

It is clearly a crime to be a transgender. I think stupid people need to stop trying to stand up for freaks that ruin society. If they want to go live outside of society so be it but in our society we have rules that everyone has to abide by. If you don't obide by civilized rules you don't belong in the face of society. Little kids don't need to see freaky people in public like this. People have enough pressures in society than to have to deal with more nuts. I'm not pro gay but some gays don't even think too much of this. When you see bums out on the streets drinking on corners they belong behind bars just as much as the transgenders walking(promoting themselves) around in public provide more scars to society. Having id's that are genderless is aiding criminals.
