Re: [Callers] Gender Free MWSD

Hi Jeremy, At MIT’s Tech Squares, “boys” and “girls” are used, sometimes with “ladies” and “gents” thrown in. However, many dancers dance either role. If you are dancing a role that does not visibly match your gender, you typically call out (not too loudly) “boy” or “girl”, when the caller

Re: [Callers] here it is - sorry

All, Once again, the gypsy discussion has erupted in personal attacks and discussion that is not friendly or courteous. This topic seems to be a trigger for people, prompting responses that I don’t think you would say if you were face-to-face. Please move on. Seth & Chris

Re: [Callers] Is there a searchable archive for this list?

Unfortunately, not at the moment. I know I said I was in the process of migrating the list a while ago, and it's still happening. I just got stalled on it. Seth On 02/12/2016 09:09 AM, Amy Carroll via Callers wrote: I'm not finding one and was just hoping

[Callers] Run its course?

Dear callers, Perhaps it is time to ask yourself, “has this gypsy discussion run its course?” Are any more replies truly adding to the conversation? I imagine that at this point, no one’s mind is going to be changed… Thank you for considering! Seth https://xkcd.com/386/

Re: [Callers] Gender Free dance arm bands

If you're on a budget, our local gender free dance just uses that brightly colored plastic ribbon from the hardware store. (Sorry - can't think of an offical name for it.) It's cheep and some people tie it around their wrists or make a necklace out of it. -Seth On Mon, 6 Mar 2006, Dan Black
