:)  However, asking you what is your "sex" sounds slightly obscene to me...
maybe because I've read too many Victorian soft adult novels.  "Gender"
seems to be the going word these days, like it or lump it.

My sex is male.  My sexual orientation is straight ("but

I'm right-handed but left-eyed, so that gives me mixed-brain dominance; I'm
straight and I don't hate the bumper sticker because I actually do have best
friends who are gay; I wear really cool reading glasses that I got for a
huge sum of money at "One Hip Chick" (titanium, very light, bronze-shading
into purple at the edges), red-headed out of a bottle--with highlights that
come and go, no beard, and my ancestors hail from Stuttgart on my father's
side and from Ireland on my mother's side.  Sometimes I dream lucidly.

How does that work for women with mixed brain dominance?
