It’s rabbit. Are you cool with that? 😉

One of the things I like about the internet is that it’s just brain to brain communication, with no pre-conceived notions, nothing to respond to except what the other person wrote. Black, white, Asian, hearing-impaired, speech impediments, birth defects, disfiguring warts, weird birthmarks, conjoined twins syndrome, all the things that might affect face-to-face communication are left by the wayside. Brain on brain. Coolness.

Well, if you like. I’m kinda the other way: my sex and my sexuality are not bolt-on extras, they’re an indispensible part of the package. If they were not what they are, I would not be who I am. Sort’ve like if my auntie had wheels, she’d be a bus. 🙂

I’ve thought about changing my username to Peeg. It still would seem androgynous to most folks, but the five of you who’d get it would probably find it easier to remember. 🙂

If there was any confusion, I’m _aaaaaalllllll_ woman. Well, except for the part of my libido that is actually a 17 year old boy. But the rest of it checks out.

**TVeblen** , better known as **Veb** , is indeed female.

To add to the confusion this **TV** (me) is male. Now, at least one of the other person who uses the beginning username **TV** on this board is also a male but in his case he enjoys dressing like a female.

I think there is at least one other **TV** on the board and I am not sure there.
