Er, what do *you* think "non-sexist society" means, and how it differs from
"equal rights"?

Good Grid, I don't know any women who successfully or unsuccessfully deny
their femininity!  Does anybody else?  What does this mean?
The closest I can come to understanding this is in the case of transsexuals--
in which case, I think Sunny has been saying that she is now (and has been
for awhile) expressing her feminity; I imagine, then, that female-to-male
transsexuals would be expressing their masculinity.  But then expressing
one's femininity may not be the same as denying one's masculinity.  

Andy, do you know any *boring* women who "deny their femininity"?  Or 
Interesting/boring men who do/don't deny their masculinity?  Or maybe any
interesting or boring transsexuals?  And what do you mean by "interesting"? 
(After all, I know a lot of interesting people on the net, but not all of them
I would choose to eat lunch with.) (-: Foodfight, yes; lunch, maybe not :-)
