A Walk on the Wilde Side

HuffingtonPost.com – Victoria Rosner

Evidently some laid-off Lehman Brothers employees are turning to the Craigslist personals in an effort to distract themselves from their professional woes. For those I-bankers seeking consolation in erotic adventure, take note: the sexual lexicon has moved far beyond the old-school “W4M” or “M4M” into a whole range of new variations.

Consider this actual posting:

I’m a masculine bio female, boyishly butch, transmasculine – some might call me a FTM [female to male], but I’m not totally transitioned, though I’m on a moderate dose of T [testosterone], and I’m comfortable with my body as is. I’m looking for a masculine bi, or bi leaning bioguy who can embrace my masculinity. (Craigslist)
