Kate's Fannish Gender, concluded

[dreamer_easy]

I fear my attempt to get across my thoughts on fanboy and fangirl have been a flop, with many readers thinking I was labelling actual men and women, rather than trying to make the same distinction that exists between maleness and masculinity. This is partly due to other peoples' assumptions, and partly due to my utter lack of clarity on the topic. Ah well, I remain both a fanboy and a fangirl, concurrently or consecutively.

Awww we don't get to see yet another of the Haters' bullshit. Don't worry, it's like crack overlords: knock one down 3 more will pop up in its place.
