Oh yeah totally. I'm not taking the spectrum to the male vs. female perspective. I'm just talking about people doing that sort of thing in general. For my relative example, it just so happens to be females taking males. Males taking females is usually less of a monetary thing, and more for sex.
Heh. It's pretty much a temporary namechange, since it seems like people just will not let me be anyone but LadyK. But two of my other friends, from Michigan, recently changed their names to include "doom," due to some extended inside-joking we're in the midst of...so it seemed appropriate.
