Identity

Lately some of my friends and I have been talking about identity and integrity. Is identity fluid, and if so, where do we draw the lines? Is it okay to text or IM passing yourself as someone else? Is it okay to have an alternate identity on Facebook? Is there ever a legitimate reason to have a sex change? Is it okay to change your name if you dislike the one you have? Is it okay to use a male avatar for yourself if you're a female or vice versa? Is gender really an identity?

As part of this discussion, my friend Rhonda send me this clip from "Friends." Ha!
