Re: "if that makes any difference"

I still dislike the question "what is your gender", as my answer perhaps
made clear.  My sex is male.  My sexual orientation is straight ("but
not narrow!" - a bumper sticker I hate, as it sounds too much like "Some
of my best friends are gay!").  I'm also right-handed,
as well as bearded, brunet, bespectacled, and Alithuanian.

Someone mentioned that sexuality and handedness are, of course, points
along a continuum.  So to define my points more precisely: In Kinsey scale
terms, however out of vogue that is these days, I'm probably about a 2.
On an analogous handedness scale from 0 (completely right handed)
through 3 (completely ambidextrous) to 6 (completely left-handed) I'm
verrry close to zero.
