Androgyny-The Third Option

Given the new misogynistic beat, ladies clothes will split in two directions--more feminine than ever and more masculine, ready for the boxing ring. Style choice will indicate selected mode of response to the new battleground of same-old, same-old.
Keep a third eye on the ever present androgynous option, a sideshow that makes its center stage debut from time to time.

Ms. Mannerisms answers:

Question: How do I know the right pronoun to use if I'm not sure?

Answer: Um... ask!  "Do you have a preferred pronoun?" is a highly respectful question.  Some prefer "he", some "she", some "they".  You will have offered your respect and your vulnerability.  If I'm not sure, I will say "they", as in:  "They are rocking that corset"...and be okay with being corrected.
