Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
That makes sense, actually. I've just come to cringe at any mention of the word...
SpoilerOnce we boarded my dog at a vet to go on a trip. When we got him back, he was neutered, shaky and if memory serves starving.
Not only did we not ask them to do that, he was traumatized for the rest of his life.
A little of both, actually. I was employing... What's that dark style of satire, again? The kind that that pamphlet that suggests eating the babies of low-income families counts as? The one day I didn't pay attention in English class...
The vasectomy bit actually kind of makes sense... I feel bad for the guys whose procedures reverse, though.Last edited by Arachu; 2012-03-21 at 09:36 PM.

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
I do believe you're looking at the problem all wrong then if you solely blame getting neutered for that.

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
I've decided to read Marvel's Young Avengers. Now I just need the right downloads, or use my birthday visa/mastercards. Though I'd prefer to use those on a date. I still owe the guy I like for the time he got me Arby's during choir rehearsal and had one of his adult friends drive us from the school and back. Our choufer(sp) was quite a good conversationalist. And looked about 45. I assumed family friend.

Speaking of un-related topics, can you help me better understand what transexual means? I looked at the dictionary thing in the OP, but its stil kind of confusing to me.

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
Hmm, yeah, could use a bit of clarification there, I suppose. Especially since we have "trans*" which covers transsexual and transgender individuals, but only transsexual is actually defined and only then briefly and is ordered with TS as the primary term rather than transsexual.
I know some included genderqueer and genderfluid as transgender individuals and others don't, so no idea on that account.
I'm pretty sure though that transsexual covers MtF and FtM individuals, individuals born with the bodies of one sex but with the mentality and emotions/sapience/spirit/soul(pick your favorite term for the part of us that does the metaphysics) of the other. Generally implied to be on the path of transition or to have already transitioned, IIRC. Also rendered as transmen and transwomen as the longer form of FtM and MtF, respectively.
Trans by itself, I believe, refers to these individuals, though as always, context can modify it so that even if it's just "trans" rather than "trans*" it could mean whathaveyou.

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
Somebody who is Transsexual (Like myself) is somebody who is in the wrong body. Either males born in female bodies or females born in male bodies. For a comparison, imagine you just woke up one day and you were suddenly female when you've been male your entire life, and everybody treats you as if you were always female, and just looks at you weird if you express even once that this is not the case.
At least, that's how I'd describe it when it comes to myself. It's not a pleasant feeling, and I want to take steps to correct it whenever it becomes reasonable to do so.

Ehm. I dislike the "wrong bodies" thing. It's like... Until we can trans (ha) plant brains, it's still your body after SRS/HRT/FFS. I like your illustration though~

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
I used some strawberry-scented shampoo (try saying that ten times fast ) earlier today - unfortunately, it seems that the scent either got rinsed out somehow or the conditioner covered it up. >.<
It's really good shampoo, though. It feels like silk~
A sexuality... That shall pierce the heavens!
I'd say it's the right body with the wrong configuration. It's as good a reason as any to make a technological reference.

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
I imagine that being a couple of centuries after the fact would diminish the impact you felt, especially as it is regarded as one of the classics with all of the stigma that entails.
The subtlety is hardly relevant in this day and age, though I seem to recall that it caused a bit of a scandal amongst its target audience.
We'd probably have more luck with genetic shenanigans and stem cells/organ growing before actually transplanting a brain, aye.
Always fun, was using a strawberries'n'cream conditioner and shampoo for double moisturizing action before I cut my hair. I usually found that unless I was using an inordinate amount of shampoo it'd be almost completely lost in the conditioner, especially as I rarely completely rinsed the conditioner out of my hair.

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
On what is transsexual/transgender
Well I know that until this thread I had no idea. Now I admire MtF's and FtM's courage and dedication for having one of the hardest fights to be themselves.
On a different note! Had an extremely awkward talk with my father about my sexuality. He thinks my "problem" is that I enjoy masturbation, and while that is accurate, it is nowhere near what he thinks it is. He thinks that whenever I'm in the bathroom for more than five minutes I'm masturbating. It's just the only place where no one will look over my shoulder because I'm not allowed to lock any door other than the ones leading out of the house. And I'm just a little paranoid, so yeah.
This is probably because I've never told him about my emotions regarding the subject. I just told him a bit less than 12ish hours ago in the conversation about the event that made me seriously concider that I might actually like men. Apparently I'd been able to dismiss the fact that from the age of 11 I've fantasized about sleeping with guys, even before I kew the mechanics of sex, when gay was a word I never knew until sixth grade, when it was still just something lurking in the shadows that you should never become.
But he doesn't know that.
Sometimes I wish telepathy was granted to first level commoners...

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
So apparently I have a transexual friend now? A friend from high school. I'm still somewhat ambivalent about him anyway, because he used to be a complete a-hole and a frequent liar. We talked about it a while ago and they said they've changed, but we haven't really had much contact since then and it's hard to shake 5 years of impression, y'know? And she's started hormones without talking to a psychologist (just an endocronologist), which makes it self-diagnosis which I'm opposed to in general anyway.
So yeah. Lots of ambivalence :/
But also support regardless. I mentioned this thread and some resources that've come up here a lot, in case she wants 'em.The Iron Avatarist Hall of Fame!

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
What's with the pronoun jumping?
Eh, I disagree with you; because being trans* is self-identified; gender therapists are a guide, not a "you have to comply to X, Y and Z to be trans" sort of folk. (Or should be at least.) As long as she (what are their preferred pronouns; your post doesn't really make it clear) is getting her bloodworks done it should be no issue.

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
Two "he", two "she", two "they": I guess the paragraph is intentionally written to be gender neutral (statistically, at least).
I think Serpentine was criticizing the self-prescription of hormones rather than the self-diagnosis of transgenderism. (By the way, is "diagnosis" appropriate in this context? It seems a little off, to me.)

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
Oh my gosh!
I understand. I can't think of a better word, though. I suppose just "orientationism" also works. Also not great. But sometimes words aren't very good. Like "globule", or "floorboard".
Sorry, I didn't mean to say "infinite", I meant to say "near infinite". And I'm counting from best case scenario. A lot of the time normally healthy people will lose spoons to a cold or bad night's sleep or whatever.
Yes, that is the story I meant. I agree with you on the rest of your points. And I think your plan is a good one. Let us know if the thesis lady gets back to you!

Re: LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is
Didn't she say this person had seen an endocrinologist or something like that? The only self-anythinging was the self-identification as trans. (I think MtF, based on the structure of the paragraph, but that's just my guess.)
I dislike "rural". It's hard to say.
