M. Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior toward (and by) Androgynes

Read and learn. And don't give me any bullshit about how using people's preferred pronouns is too haaaard.

That managed to be succinct, informative and hilarious, in a world where most writings are 0 for 3.

I've seen you use zie/zir on Facebook, so please correct me if that's not what you prefer these days.

[kaikias]

It *is*.

And yes, it's what I prefer, though questions of piddly things like preference seem to be academic in my daily life.

You may ask after a transgendered person's genital appearance in exactly the same situations where you might ask the length of a man's penis -- that is, if you will excuse M. Manners' language, not bloody often.

Awesome. X)

[kaikias]

+1, Awesomely Appropriate Icon. XD

Similarly, M. Manners is unaware of anything in Emily Post that states that jeans and a sweater are not white tie for androgynes, and zie intends to act accordingly until the dress codes are clarified.

This? Is pure, unfiltered, 100% awesome.

Because I bet that you are the kind of person who has a pair of "formal jeans" in your chest of drawers, and that is surely a reason to love you.

[kaikias]

Well, no, but the one pair of jeans I still remotely fit into is a rather nice pair of jeans. *gears turn*

[dimloep_suum]

I love this so damn much.

Also, re: 'Nanda's comment, good to know. *makes mental note*

[kaikias]

Seriously. I took one look and was all "WAHEY AWESOME MUST REPOST".

[dimloep_suum]

I poked around the site some more, and also have a deep and abiding love for the "Renaming the Bathrooms" page. I'ma have to try that next I get the opportunity. :D

*dances around and sings* I'm in your bra-ain, I'm in your bra-ain!
