Agreed. My preference isn't based on bias, but on observations & experiences.
The odds seem to be higher for more person-focused care from female staff.

& never had one of those try to slyly cop a feel while transferring me!

Exactly & that they're not coming at me in "God mode"

That one got me laughing vocally, too. . .

I don't speak technical lamnguaghe if I'm not in the profession. I use
colloquial terms & dummy or puppet seem fair play to me. . .

Puppet is ambiguous, but "ventriloquist's dummy" is very clear & on point.

Most of the more famous/popular ventriloquists seem to speak of them asd
friends or family, but that's as much or more for the show of it, as how they
think of them, I'm sure. . .
