- You don't make the world a more tolerant place by validating the acts
- of discrimination. To use your initials is to hide your gender which
- tells the world that you accept their right to deny you certain
- priviledges on the basis of your gonads. It also says that when rules
- which have organized society for eons are uncomfortable for you, you simply
- get around them... I can't blame you but it does compromise your integrity.

- I use my initials in two places... the phone book and on my luggage
- identification. When I do good and when I do bad, I want the credit
- for whatever my actions - that's a matter of individual pride and not
- gender identification.
