LGBTAitP - Part 21: BLACKJACK!

[supernerd]

Did I tell you I just had him make a video too?

HE'S SO CUTE!
Look at his adorable cheeks, and he says so many nice things about me.

I maintain that you two are adorable

Who cut the onions...?

*hugs*

ETA: Also, LGBT story competition open for all.

Only in Ireland?

[Castaras]

The tetralogy I'm reading right now, Otherland by Tad Williams, has a lesbian detective, and a genderfliud (?) girl/guy.

Otherland is an awesome set of books. If you like it, you should try the Dragonbone chair set as well. Don't think it's that LGBT relevant but it's another awesome set of books.

Says 'open to all'. E-mail them and ask.

I think Otherland is the last of his works I'm reading. I read Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, Tailchaser's Song, The War of the Flowers, and Shadowmarch. Except I might have only read three of the latter series. I need to check that. Tad Williams is one of my favorite contemporary fantasy authors.

[Coidzor]

As for me, I'm sure they are cute, and my innate avian curiosity impelled me to take a look; but I had to close them after a few seconds feeling as if I was an intrusive voyeur on what ought to have been kept private.

No offense.

Yeah, was a bit too intense for someone like me who wasn't even like that when he were a lad as well.

[supernerd]

Okay, so I made this for the blog I run with my friend as a kind of "Get to Know Your Hosts" kind of thing. Sigh...
Here it is.

Says 'open to all'. E-mail them and ask.

Rules online say "in communities of Ireland"

[KenderWizard]

Now I feel bad that I can enter and won't, since people here want to enter and can't. I think if someone's really interested, email and ask. Even pretend to be expat.

[Viera Champion]

*hugs*



Oh, sorry then. After the first few seconds, at which point it seemed like a video love letter, I got weirded out and abandoned ship. Sail on without me.

Yeah... But was mine good? I kept it informational!

So...at a wedding in the Florida Keys...new rule-At each wedding there must be at least five single bridesmaids or groomsmen

Per person, because I don't feel like sharing.

This is just to avoid another situation in which I find out five minutes too late that the woman who just snogged me is not, in fact, single.

[turkishproverb]

Disengaging lurk mode just to say:

Aaaaaand back we go...

...Drive by smirking...

[Astrella]

Okay, apparently my voice is better than I thought. I didn't think it sounded convincingly female, but apparently it's close enough to pass without comment when combined with a female presentation. Awesome!

Yay~

(That's my father. Super proud of her. )

Awesome~

Some linkies:
Trans*-bingo

And a really sweet bit about a trans woman coming out to her daughter

In other news; I'm feeling happy for no particular reason~ Which is so surprising that I'm actually questioning myself about it. :O It's nice though; I am a very cheery and bubbly person in nature when the darkness doesn't grab hold of me~

No, stop making me feel worse! I don't have time to enter!

Oopsie.

I jammed my foot all the way down to my stomach yesterday with Chaoskristy, and I'm worried my apology may only make it worse, and this is all my fault for trying to engage on a subject I don't understand and which is so important to her!

Denmark is legalizing same-sex marriage.

Can you share details? /nosy

[golentan]

We were talking about Exalted, and started talking about the Tya (women who declare themselves men to avoid supernatural disaster). And I started bringing up precedents for a wide variety of precedents in the real world for non-standard gender not necessarily based on identity. But I did it in a joking manner. And I didn't realize it until right when she was about to leave but I was horribly upsetting her. I apologized, and she told me she felt I was insulting her as a woman, insulting her intelligence, and calling her a hypocrite, and none of those were my intent. So I tried explaining that, and putting my intent without elaborating because when I tried to elaborate in person I had made such a botch of it she thought I was saying horrible things about her identity as a trans woman and her worth as a human being but I'm afraid that might sound like I'm trying to avoid blame because I don't think I'm at fault and the apologies were not in person and I haven't heard back from her and I've been in full on psychotic break mode interspersed with panic attacks and crying fits since then because I'm worried that I've done something irreparable and I had to call in sick just now because talking about aliens and bursting into tears isn't work appropriate behavior and it's all my fault because I knew this was a conversational land mine because it's one of the things about humanity I just don't get but we'd had conversations of the sort before and I thought I was doing okay and I just want to bash my head against something until it breaks because I'm a bad person and I hurt the person I care about and nothing I can say can possibly make it better.

[Asta Kask]

I am, to put it mildly, not an expert on relationships. However, I think the proper things to do in this situation is to seek her up, crawl on your belly, and beg for forgiveness.

*hugs*

[golentan]

That's my intent. Soon as she gets off work.

[Fay Graydon]

[ACTION] cartwheels in and strikes an epic pose [/ACTION]

Howdy Folks!

[Asta Kask]

Howdy!

What's your story?

[Fay Graydon]

Howdy!

What's your story?

Well....
Once upon a time, in a land called England...
Hehehee ^^ sorry couldn't resist
I used to pop in here a while ago, gave my story then and once is enough *nods with years (maybe) of experience (yeah right)*

Oh geez. As somebody else who sometimes says things that he doesn't mean before realising how asinine the things sound, I feel ya. *hugs*

Though usually I get away with a mild beating and a sincere apology.

[Asta Kask]

If you have money, these might help. Giving her estrogen jewelry has a nice symbolism to it.

[Qaera]

Maybe talking about the Derath (the men in the South) might fix things? the Tya are a pretty nuanced subject though.

*rolls dice in sympathy because not sure if hugs appropriate for aliens~*

Hey Fay! I remember you from my lurking days.

Oh? Someone remembers me? ^^ aweshum!
Sadly I cant say the same about you ;_; sorry

The other day I ran into a classmate in the kitchen. He had a mug of something, and on the mug was a picture of a caffeine molecule.
I love being a nerd.

Hello!
Now I'm curious but if you don't want to share I guess I just have to go read ALL THE THREADS.
