Yet "sie" and "hir" were the pronouns of choice on both asb and ap, back
in the day. I recall a certain snow leopard who was *very* careful not
to let hir *** be known nor guessed on the grounds that, since the
Goddess Wor****ppers were so *very* feminist and others on ap were so
*very* masculinist, the moment anyone found out what sie wore under hir
tail, hir opinions would automatically be discounted by at least half
the group. The argument made sense to me at the time.
Of course, it made sense that Ounce was one of the hottest flamers
around, too....
