Subj: RE: RE: RE: Congoers of the Fenspace convention. What's your creepiest con experience?
"If you treat yourself as an object, don't be surprised when some people objectify you. That's all I have to say to them. Unlike biomods, they do have a choice in how their perceived."
Really? You want to try trotting out that old line? Maybe you should add the always-successful 'she brought it on herself, dressing like that.' Establish yourself as a gentleman of class and taste.
It doesn't matter if they had it brought on them by unfortunate circumstances, or if they decided the way of total conversion was best for them. That doesn't remove their rights to be treated as a human being, and it never gives people the right to act like an asshole to them.
