My new name

[chironcentaur]

All right, let's begin the discussion of the vacation revelations with the religious/secular name I mentioned last night. That one at least will be the easiest for me to explain even if its still hard to wrap my mind around how it happened

Thanks!

Oh of course, a very good name indeed.

(I want no trouble here) :-D

[chironcentaur]

I don't try to be "feminine", I don't try to be "masculine" (I *hate* both of those words, they're essentially meaningless to me),

They have no objective meanings, they mean whatever the vast majority of people in a particular time and place decide they mean.

I don't usually make an effort to be androgynous, either (although I admire androgyny a lot). I'm just me.

Same here, I just act the way it comes naturally to me to act, I don't try to fit myself into a stereotype. Normally I'd never apply gender related terms to myself, but if someone really twists my arm, androgynous is what I will use, even if I don't think that's quite accurate either.

This kind of attitude is pretty appropriate in a priest of Hermes, seeing as he's a god of boundary-crossing (even--or maybe especially--when the boundary is illusory, as I believe the feminine/masculine boundary to be),

I think so too. :-)

It's a good thing you went with Gavin, because "Gavin Renee" has a much better ring to it than "Tortoise Renee". ;)Or "Ram Renee", that sounds kind

Yeah, I caught that earlier. Its okay, wasn't the first time its happened, especially online its an easy mistake to make. :-)

Well, I must admit, there isn't much I ever say or do online that might give anyone the impression that I am female (even some people who know me in person wonder sometimes :-)).
