Dear Miss Kinky Manners,
Feb. 11th, 2009 03:18 pmDear Miss Kinky Manners,
A lifetime of time, age, and maturity (those are not all the same thing, nor ought they to be regarded as even related) have taught most men that elevator eyes, the annoying and almost uncontrollable instinct some men have to look at a woman's breasts before meeting her eyes, is rude. However, let's say I know a M2F transsexual who has started to be, shall we say, quite visibily successful in her development as a young woman.
Is it still rude? Is it affirming? Is it rude but underneath it all she's secretly gleeful that you noticed? Is it affirming but underneath it all she knows she ought to be annoyed because it's rude, dammit?
—Warm and bothered, Seattle, WA.
