Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
There's a difference between a girl dressing masculine and someone that you thought was a girl turning up obviously male :P
...wait, did you think I was FtM? If so, that's kinda awesome ^_^
Eh, there'll be another time. My family already know about me intellectually, they just haven't actually seen me as a girl yet. It'll happen at some point.Quotebox

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Well, I can't speak for everyone else, Helio, but I have sorted you into the 'girl' category in my head, so even though I 'know' I still would see a girl dressed in a more masculine or tomboyish way.
But thats just me.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
I think I would be an awkward squid. Plus I'd be all damp and also, all my stuff is on dry land.
Not at all. My "rules" are just what I think allies should probably believe, but you don't have to think about them to believe them, or bear them in mind while you're hanging out.
Welcome aboard! Feel free to ignore (or engage) in flirting and don't be shy to bring up stuff, even if everyone's chasing after tangent-butterflies.
SpoilerThat is an incredibly good point! I haven't seen Glee in ages (I loved the music and anything Brittany said, and Kurt and Kurt's dad, but everything else got on my nerves so I stopped watching) but I remember hoping they dealt with how Quinn was treated. It makes sense to show it happen like that cause that's very realistic, but there should be some acknowledgement that it's horribly unfair.
Wow, good for you!
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people IRL saw you like this. Unless you've grown a considerable amount of facial hair, I guess.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
I think you can do that? There's a trans* friend of mine who uses a Facebook account under her chosen name, has her sex (because of course, Facebook doesn't differentiate ) listed as female, posts pictures of herself, etc., so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for you to make an account under a female persona...

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Hooray for you, Mystic! I'm glad it went well - I know how stressful it can be to do, believe you me! I think the way you went about it was great: giving him a chance to digest the information before getting into a big discussion. Hopefully you weren't sending him to work liek that though; that seems like a good way to tank his productivity.
They'll get to see it sometime. Hopefully you don't mind my saying, but genderfluidity seems like an incredibly awkward identity to have, and I think you're amazing for being able to find such a balance between two parts of yourself that are so incredibly different!
This is actually important. We're a big family here (or at least, I think so), so when there's nothing major going on, we just chat and play silly games. But the main reason we're here is to help, so never feel afraid to ask for it. We can get serious very quickly (well, most of us can)!

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
*Also hugs Lixie~*
On FB: I just keep a sort of... Phantom account? That's probably a misnomer, but it sounds neat so I'm keeping it.
Anyway, I just use my real first name (read: my chosen one :P), a made-up last name and absolutely no personal information whatsoever aside from stuff I have no choice but to have (and those are neither public nor even slightly detailed). There's one picture of me, but it's... Very unlikely that anyone I know would find it, especially considering how vague my location is and my avoidance of friending family members (the ones I tell totally understand).
Hi~ *Welcomehugs*
Good point... *Hugs*
Yay~ ^_^
Gah, there are so many reasons I hate that stereotype. *Hugs*
I tend to get similar assumptions when I come out as trans... I mean, I'm totally into makeup and dresses but I know nothing of fashion! Also, it's pretty assumptive.
*Hugs*
SpoilerIndeed. It's seriously messed-up how obsessed most cultures are with punishment. Like that somehow fixes the wrong or at least diminishes it (while also never being excessive or unnecessary)... Sometimes I wonder how common it would be if more people understood consent properly, if the energy directed and telling people not to rape were used to tell them how not to. Not to say that would stop it all, admittedly. :/
Hehe~ X3
*Hugs and also wishes you luck~*
Sure he wasn't being silly?
----------
In other news, my mom smelled my nail polish the other day. She never uses it, though, so I was able to play dumb. That did make her a little... Twitchy, though (yesterday she smelled something that I couldn't and accused me of doing drugs, shortly before asking me if I was growing my nails out to be "a Dracula" (note that I've grown them out since I was in grade school, I just wasn't able to take good enough care of them to get them this long until somewhat recently)). o.O

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Yeah, after having read it, I realized that what came across in my paragraph there, was not really what I was trying to say. It isn't that we only have one person out there that will love us, or anything of the sort. But there is someone out there for us. Does that make sense? I have always been of the opinion that love is going to take the reins and you will end up loving whoever you are meant to love, men, women, both, neither.....whatever. My point, which I tent to not make very eloquently, is that love is always a possibility, and it will reach out and punch you right in the face, usually when you are least expecting it. Like you said, much better than I, don't follow the Yellow Brick Road, go down that red one that everyone forgets about....
Also, thank you for putting my words in a better order than I did.
Surprisingly, yes.....
*Gasp* ITS A DRACULA!! EVERYONE RUUUUUUUUN!!!!
Wait, vamps are all nice and sparkly now......."How you doin'?"

I prefer the classic nosferatu. Did you know that one of the first 'modern' vampires, Carmilla, was a lesbian?

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Good nose, your parent has. Sure it is not them who bears the blood of the dragon's child? Certainly would explain why one would refer to the possibility of there being more than one. Vlad III Dracula's children did not inherit the name, after all.
My parents are almost opposite of that, they would not care that I smelt odd (Other than suggesting I shower) but they both dislike long nails regardless of gender. ^_^'
I have heard of that, but has yet to find the story.
I still need to dig more into the classics (only read Dracula by Bram Stoker so far), but I prefer the vampires of Buffy the Vampire Slayer so far. Still suffer from the odd inability to touch crosses, but entertaining and less childishly illogical than the Voivode of Wallachia was in the book. ^_^
Did like the Count's beard, though. Made me imagine a vampire Alan Moore. X3Treasured Quotes

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
@PairofDice: I rather enjoy shopping, and a few other of the stereotypes, but I guess that's just fine. And I mean sure there are days when I'm lazy and just show up to school in a t shirt and jeans. But there are some lines I will not cross when it comes to being seen in public.
Also welcome hugs to nerxe! I would have said hi earlier, but my interwebs failed.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Wait, what does she think a "Dracula" is? Does she mean vampire? Does she mean goth or emo? Do vampires have long nails? I'm confused!
I've heard that a person I know turns out to be trans, but in a kind of adorable move, their significant other also turns out to be trans. So they swapped presented genders, and apparently also discussed just swapping their given names. I don't know if they did or not, I'm not very close to her (I knew her from LARPing ages ago). Unfortunately, I don't know her new name, so I have to refer to her by her old name, which sounds really strange now I know it's wrong cause it's like "[boy-name] has her holidays".

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
SpoilerEh, as long as you point out that both are serious issues, it's not bad that you think that. You're right. Rapists are bad and deserve to be punished, but the administration there caused most of the long-term damage. It's not fair that the rapist got off scot-free, but that the negligent and abusive school workers did too is just as bad.Jude P.

It is. Saw her at a convention. There was another man there, I forgot his name. He's an influential member of Autism culture, which is why it's ticking me off that I forgot his name! Anyways, he called people with Asperger's Syndrome "Aspies", which is my go-to name for people diagnosed with AS now. I keep trying to get "Autsies" or "Auties" to work, but I always feel like I'm calling someone Australian.
I should found the country of Autstralia now.
I don't really have a name for normal people. I've tried "generic" and "neurotypical", but it never felt right. The best name just hit me though: John Does and Jane Does. Military terms never fit so right in my daily life.Steam username is Triscuitable.
