Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
@Laura: Congratz!
What I don't understand is why people can't just be fine with it.
Never heard: Sure, I've a mental disorder. I'm transgender, AND F*CKING PROUD OF IT TOO!
Aren't they the same most of the time?
I feel compulsive, even though technically I'm only obsessive, having OTD.
No, though I managed to hug 10 kittens at the same time!
...
Then one died :smallsad:
Hahaha, three year lasting birth xD
That is AWESOME
That is AWESOME
That is AWE- oh... uhmmm... Why do we do that?
Faith in humanity is lost...
Good thing Hope is my Virtue.
Good luck!
Or, those americans did what they always do (no trying to unsult anyone):
Extrapolate everything.
"He's bisexual you say? Isn't that like homosexual?"
-Well, yeah, but he's heterosexual too...
"Yeah, yeah, gay, that's what I said"

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
Hope it goes well!
*hugs*
Those feelings of ennui are annoying. I mean, I'm not going to claim mine are the same but that complete lack of wanting to do anything is something I recognize. You should call! Don't wait, just get it out of the way! I sat around about making appointments a long time too. >.>
Also that's an awesome coat and that dress looks really good on you.
That was nicely written.
Always reminds me a bit about this and how there's a huge backdraft against any change:
Aah, Touhou, neat!
Glad you had a good time at the support group! I don't really have a real life one except for the activities with my trans youth group but that are mostly people my age so I don't really have the whole range of age thing going on.
Oh, with regards to your aunt, there's this really nice series of blog posts out there about a woman dealing with her wife coming out as a trans woman and they're very kindly written so they might be helpful? They're called 'Unwrapping the Onion'. Hope it goes well!
Well, I think it was a pretty good reaction. Maybe a bit underwhelming but considering it's Marten he likely didn't want to go all 'foot in mouth' on her. And he's accepting which is the most important part.
As for reactions, I guess it would depend on how well I know them and what sort of person they are.
There are people like that. I try to be not caring about it. It's more about the huge amount of societal stigma attached to it. Considering how easily people deny trans* people's identities with it or who's acceptance only stretches out to tolerating 'those poor deluded fools' out of pity...Last edited by Astrella; 2012-11-19 at 08:00 PM.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
Why do wigs have to be so expensive? Thrift stores can provide most other necessitates besides consumables, but the only wigs I ever see are left overs from Halloween or what look like the hides of old rats. And I need a wig, trust me.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
Why not? Gravity is just a theory.
(I'd probably say two-plus storeys is a little high, myself. I try to limit myself to under five meters, a bit lower if the ground is hard or unstable.)
Then there was that time I electrocuted myself (they tell little kids not to play with power outlets; I was fifteen), or the time I dropped an icicle bigger than I am on my leg. Or the time the handhold I had on a low cliffside I was bouldering on cracked off and only narrowly missed my head as I fell off.Last edited by noparlpf; 2012-11-19 at 06:37 PM.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
Do it! I for one am quite fond of steam/cyborg/techno ponies.
Well, it's a relative measure.
For some reason, my mind's gone terrible places with this. They really shouldn't let me out of the house.
Welcome!
I think this is probably a crafting quality issue. Humans are very good at picking up on facial features and hair and noticing when they don't look quite right. As a result, it's hard to make a convincing wig without expensive materials and/or significant time invested.
Yeah, but it's got a bad attitude.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
But...... I like Steinbeck......
And after having 3 people come out to me i've just kind of resorted to shrugging, saying ok, and asking what we should eat today. This normally ends with a kind of weirded out friend or in the 2nd case the friend demanding for a more dramatic response.“I’m a Terrorist not an idiot.” - Me

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
Thanks, and my logical part is trying to play it down, due to various limitations.
The half that makes me think I can handle a long distance relationship.
Just... See above. I've got a weird way of explaining things. I can't handle a long distance relationship, and I'm trying not to get too into it. Kida really hard though...
Thanks! While I'm not sure about the 1500+ mile distance, it's nice to feel all warm and fuzzy and special.
Why certainly!

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
I've had I think one person come out to me and I still don't know if it was a joke because everyone on campus had thought that he was an openly gay man from the beginning of our freshman year together. I think I ended up apologizing for my lack of reaction because I'd thought he was already out of the closet and was perfectly OK with it which is why I agreed to go in on a suite with him and a couple of other guys that next year. I may or may not have awkwardly thanked him for trusting me enough to tell me and I'm almost positive I made a remark that I was pretty sure that the majority of the campus and certainly everyone that we both knew would be just fine with him.
I suppose technically there were two more, but it's hard to really react to a status on facebook in a meaningful way and in the other case their online persona was always presented as genderqueer anyway, so there's not a whole lot to react to when they've decided to adopt an out-and-out male persona rather than one that was as androgynous as possible. Everyone else was pretty much just openly living it.
Closest thing to a surprise was finding out the girl I had been pursuing was bi when her facebook showed she had started dating another woman shortly after I'd realized I just might be falling in love with her. Bit of an awkward conversation after that, as she was apparently worried that I'd hate her for being bi as had apparently happened to her with a number of her guy friends.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
Well, with coming out responses... Yesterday an acquaintance I knew as a girl made a status that heavily implied they were some sort of non-cis. I linked them to QC and asked whether it meant that was extra-relevant (they share a name), they said yes, I said I assumed (based on the status) they were FtM, they said genderqueer actually, I asked about preferred pronouns, they said they, and I said I'd try to remember. That was it.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
What paradox?
Momentum, luv. Momentum. If you can keep it up, it's easier. But once you sit down and rest getting up is that much harder. Sisyphus thrives on keeping it rolling, he's got to be a master of kinetic physics by now.
I know Keep On Trucking is terribly generic advice, but it's all I have I'm afraid.
On a cheerier note, some more fashion pics (not the best but I was in a rush and pretty sick):
Spoiler
The second picture looks a lot like my XBL avatar, actually, so I got a chuckle out of that.
As in, plural for really likes new things? A bunch o newophiliacs? Or some form of saying theyre neophobic?
oooh~
I am intrigued by the term bluenette. I like it!
The support group was really good. *Everyone there was really nice, and even though, like all groups, it seems to have its hierarchies and internal dynamics, the vast range of people along the spectrum of transition and across the range of ages and circumstances that were there seemed to help it be less of a free-for-all in pursuit of personal validation than it would be otherwise. *As an aside for Zorg, one of the prettiest ladies there was about 6 feet tall, and both she and her wife were absolutely lovely people. *I even got from her the name of a hairstylist who apparently does great work for trans people. *I don't think I've been in a place so unabashedly optimistic and accepting in a very long time. *That's not to say everyone was perfect or anything, but since I've only gone once, I don't want to rush to negative judgments like I usually do.
As far as my aunt goes, it's not that I think she'll react horribly or anything, or I wouldn't come out to her. *It's just my family is reasonably religious and so I'm a little worried about what she'll think. *She's one of the kindest people I know, and I can't imagine her hating me for it, but I do expect to have to clear up a lot of worry and misconceptions, and I don't know how clearly I'll be able to explain myself.
Well he wasn't 100% sure, but I think from what he sort of told me it was a combination of my general non-manly aesthetic sense in ponies and plushies, always playing female characters in games and being a little uncommonly knowledgeable even for a collector of useless knowledge when trans people came up in conversations about politics and/or media. *But then again, I let myself do and demonstrate those things in part with the purpose of lessening the shock when I came out to him, so I was actually happy that he wasn't surprised.
I would remark on the manliness of ponies, but that quickly becomes a morass. XD
Totally thought this was about out werewolf game. I was all boggled.
On a more general note, what would you want for reaction when coming out to someone? Hugs? Nod and then get on with business?
Understanding is sort of my thing. I don't even really acknowledge arguments which cannot come from an "I understand but don't agree" frame.
You drive up the average, balanced out by most scientists thinking instead of subvocalizing. ;D
No idea, really.
Although, I dunno. I find trans and Cis to be kind of superfluous distinctions, personally. Cisman and transman are both a man. I can't get my head around being proudly trans, because theoretically trans is being uncomfortable and wanting to change. Being comfortable beig uncomfortable is a disconnect. So being proud of being transsexual seems... Against transsexuality? I dunno. It's not a coherent thought really.
Aren't they the same most of the time?
I feel compulsive, even though technically I'm only obsessive, having OTD.
No, though I managed to hug 10 kittens at the same time!
...
Then one died :smallsad:

"Well, y—"
"I SAID HE IS HOMOSEXUAL DAMMIT DON'T ARGUE"
And that's how Equestria was made!
Personally, my brother told me my dumbo ears would come through for me.
What I really want to know is how a three year old an six year old got on the roof.
SLIMES.
I like slimes!

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
Don't think paradox is the term, but I don't quite know what words I'd use to describe it. Mostly seem to run into it as a paranoid fear by the non-bi, non-pan partner of a bisexual or pansexual individual or a subject of gossip by busybodies that there must be some kind of tension because a bisexual's sexual needs aren't being met if they're only having sex with one sex.
...Yeah, I could probably have phrased that better and in a non-cumbersome fashion, but hopefully that was clear enough. :/
Thankfully I've run into it more often in fiction than in reality, but I've run into it there too...
