Agreed. We do such a disservice when we, e.g., label guys who like show tunes as “light in the loafers”. Heck, I sing along with Barry Manilow at the top of my lungs! Emotion and sensitivity don’t make one a homosexual.

Thanks for owning up to the Manilow part :o)---

.. but I'm with you. These days, paradoxically, the supposedly "don't-stereotype-me" gender activists are actyally erecting and enforcing huge new stereotype templates, so that everybody's got a rigid niche in the alphabet-soup LGBTQQI-BDSM-LSD-STD-AIDS luncy, and every bit of individuality you enjoy is labeled genderqueer.

Now I'm gonna go out and check out my new tool I got from eBay: a combination hatchet-hammer-crowbar-nail-puller. Much better for me than a cosmetics set!!!

That's more than true.

I have a friend who fits that description emotionally, but you'd NEVER know by looking at him and don't you dare provoke him. He's man all the way through. He's just not afraid of being real.
