Love,

I just have that quote because I love Steven Colbert and I think its amusing. I am a supporter of equal rights for all of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community although I am not really a part of that community. I am also against animal abuse, but I am not a dog.

Hermaphrodites have fully functioning sex organs of both genders. In humans, you are considered a "true hermaphrodite" if you have both male gonadal tissue (testes) and female gonadal tissue (ovarian tissue), this is very very rare. The term used most for humans can be "inter-sexed" (this is the medical term I was taught) which mostly means they have functioning sex organs of one gender and secondary characteristics of the other gender. "Hermaphrodite" has kinda become a derogatory and offensive term to use for a person. Some societies consider inter-sexed a separate gender from male and female and give them a lot of respect.

Some dwellers in the past have been requested to be banned for their own good because they got too wrapped up emotionally in The Cellar and could not stop themselves from posting. In those cases, once the dweller requests a mod to lift their ban, the mod will do so. Volunteer banning is a semi-normal practice for us.
