| I have Earlites and Frankites - the Earlites were first and they are stuck in civilization stage (we go and try to convert cities and they just blow our cars up) and the Frankites are at tribal stage . . . I think I like cell stage and creature stage the best - you can just sort of fart around and p... |

| I'm SOOOOO addicted to Spore - though I haven't had much time to play with school - but now school is out until January . . . I can't get past the civilization stage though. I've never been good at video games so it doesn't surprise me - this one is just so much fun! |

| Fnord - that is a common sociological and psychological definition of sex and gender - I couldn't give you a reference for it, but I taught human sexuality in a college setting for 8 years and that was in our text book |

| I love Sinsboldly's statement! That is so me - I live alone, I am asexual, therefore I must be both male and female at the same time - though I lean more toward the male, despite my stupid biology . . . |

| To me, the real problem with PETA started when one of the co-founders quit about 10 years ago - he seemed to really keep the organization under control - and he quit because he felt like it was getting out of control - and it has just spiraled downhill from there . . . Orwell, do you know who the ba... |

| I would have to agree - it is just a matter of body parts . . . I'm female and I absolutely detest traditional female roles and fashions - I am very masculine - therefore - the only thing that makes me female is my body . . . |

Thanks - I had forgotten that Tony Attwood addresses so much of that - I've never met him but I've heard he is really nice. I keep saying I'm going to have to move to Australlia to work with anyone who knows anything about adult autism!  |

| That is sort of the way I feel about it, too - I resent the idea that, somehow, if I go to therapy enough it is going to make me want to be around other people, but some people really benefit from therapy so they should have that option . . . For severely effected autistic people I do think that som... |
