To tell the truth...

[seriousfic]

For a long time, I've benefited from the ambiguities of language to conceal my gender, partly because it seemed like an interesting way to study gender assumptions, partly because it seemed like a good idea in case I ever had to kill the Witch-king of Angmar, partly because I dislike the idea of being judged on my sex, but mostly because I find it amusing the thought that somewhere, someone has a conspiracy theory on my gender. Like, a wall of statements I've made printed out and pinned to a corkboard. And they'd look at it and go "SERIOUSFICCCCC!" Partly because I don't want to disabuse anyone of the notion that I am, maybe, possibly, Anne Hathaway or Lou Ferrigno or something. IDK, I was told once I write like Lou Ferrigno. I don't even know if it was a compliment.

But now the forbidden fruit must be tasted. So I'd like to state, empirically, unambiguously, and uncategorically that I am a man.

*checks date* Hmmm... funny, that.

Mysteries wrapped in enigmas wrapped in April Fool's Day.

Actually I think it was the fact that the overall lesbian obsession seemed free of defensiveness or feminist philosophizing.
