Er, typo, first paragraph should read “cis women”.

You’re welcome to have your preferences! I don’t
understand how giving
folks of any gender the freedom to dance with whomever they want, on
whichever side of the swing they want, prevents you from only asking
(people you perceive to be) cos women to dance.
The goal of “encouraging everyone to partner with who they want to and
dance on the side they want to” seems an unambiguous good to me! Or am I
misunderstanding?
Cheers,
Maia

The point is that if you announce it loudly, then
you're making it gender
free in name only. If larks is just code for gents, then people who want to
dance a role that doesn't match their gender expression or identity (or who
are non-binary for that matter) will be more uncomfortable than if the
dance is truly gender free. You announce it quietly not because it's
shameful to have a preference, but because it's shaming the people who
don't match if you announce it loudly.

Am I the only living person who has a preference
for dancing with the
opposite cisgender (realizing that any
particular, such opposite, cisgendered individual
may, in fact, have a
different preference)?
I wasn't going to get involved in all this, but I have to side with Ken
Panton - I'm a man and I certainly prefer
dancing with women. And I very much enjoy dancing with Louise Siddons
even though she may generally have a different
preference.
