    IMsL, aka International Ms Leather, is definately *not* a gay male event! For the entire weekend, they will have dungeons open 24 hours a day, three different areas, one is men only, one is women only, and one is anyone welcome. For more info on IMsL, see www.imsl.org/ .

    Online registration is now closed, but you can get a Friday day pass for $40 it looks like:
    -----------------
    Opening Ceremony Ticket—$30 ($35 on Feb. 15, $40 on April 1)
    Includes Friday access to entertainment, play spaces, hospitality suite receptions, and vending.
    -----------------

    There are two workshops on Friday, the open play spaces, the vendor area, and the opening ceremony.

      I'm intersexed....

      I take I could only go to the "everyone" dungeon?

        You could probably go to the Men's area, Max, cause from what I understand you could "pass" as a man. I don't know if ImsL is like Exiles when it comes to who gets defined as female.

          Mmm..

          Most people see only what they expect to see. Due to the current invisibility / anonymity of the Intersexed. most folks only expect to see men or women. As a result, that's all they see.

          So, I suppose, I could passively promote that limited paradigm, and try to "pass".

          But that's why I asked my question. Not to sneak anywhere, by slyly "passing". But to explore the options, for someone who is openly intersexed.

            There was a 'Pansexual' space at IMsL which was open to everyone. I played there because they had some nice equipment. Generally, I thought IMsL had everything covered pretty well. I met several intersexed people there.
