I think that your position is finally clear. Most of us who objected knew what you *wanted* to say, but objected because we felt that you didn't say it very well. I think that most of us agree that "you are who you are," whether it be effeminate, butch, and for most of us, any combination of both depending on the situation. A request: if people want to continue to talk about effeminate males (gay, straight, or bi), can we try to make a distinction between *effeminacy* and *camping*. In my opionion, they are two different things. If we replace the word "effeminacy" with "camping" in a lot of the "all gays aren't like this" arguments, we might have an interested topic. Any thoughts?
