It's back!
Yes.
Next question!
Mess with me and I will corner you on Skype and tell you a long rambling story that goes nowhere.
I love the Olympics but Russia is totally creeping me out
Are there any constructive protests I can take part in to help get the point across that what they are doing is totally fucked?
Also can I still watch the Olympics or does that make me a monster
like
"oh shit yo I'm totally gay for that"
Personally I think this is pretty okay? Like the context it gets used in is generally a person stating their unabashed affection for something or someone (like Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked or Channing Tatum) that they really don't give a shit if other people judge them for
@Metalbourne - is Stockard Channing rad or super fucking rad?

Double dicks/vaginas?
Or hell, that is too unimaginative. The next step is obviously to invent entirely new genitals.
I'm fine with it if used within my circle of friends and not in public. We get that it's a stupid phrase and we use it ironically and rarely.
If I heard most straight people use it I would be offended but not nearly as offended as when I hear it used as a negative. I would not go out of my way to call that use of it out is what I am saying.
Fuck the Olympics. What once was the "goodwill games" is now "bribe some old guys"
I'm okay with that. I can't think of a way it can be used to objectify or generalize a group of people so I'm not offended by it.
I used to tell a girlfriend she was totally gay for will Farrell
No clue
and THIS
IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
I my purse
Think of gender as a scale between 0 and 1 with female being 0 and male being 1. Everybody falls somewhere on that scale.
Now imagine another scale, a vertical scale that goes between i0 and i1 like some kind of Cartesian coordinate system.
Some of us are so fabulous we have to supplement the normal scale with the new scale to describe our gender Identities

How old were you when you knew? When you came out?
Your favorite botanical berry?
Did you manage to find any insurance to cover you? Reading Dubh and DDV's posts it seems pretty hard to come by in the states.
Did you have problems with work and family/friends?
The hardest part of it all for you?
The engineer in me cannot help but notice that all but one of the images are an even exchange of parts (i.e. male right arm for female right arm) except the top right one, which has two female left legs and two male right legs.
Based on my skill at dancing, this must be my gender identity.
SO fucking rad
biting the weenie is bad.
Well, except for certain consensual situations.
my brother's a mess right now
like about the time when you caught the ferry to Shelbyville
I've seen girls with man-hands. Does that count?
I was 13 when I knew, 35 when I came out
No clue what a botanical berry is
I'm being treated for "endocrine disorder"
Finding an insurance company that will pay for actually being transgendered is close to impossible.
I have no problems with work or family, but I have had issues finding an apartment because of my trans-ness
The hardest part is probably getting misgendered on a daily basis
My wife has hands that are the same size as mine, so on her they look huge. They look normal on me, if a bit thin.
Oh, and there's only a fraction of a difference in ring sizes for us. Her wedding band is like a 7.25 and mine's a 7.5 or something.
I guess I have to point out that gender identity isn't physical so much as mental, but these cartoons are making me giggle
Also: pancakes or waffles?
Haha this is exactly the kind of question I set the tumblr up for.
It's not necessary. I mean, consider the number of people you meet in every day life and the number who are trans or queer. A lot of people on the forum probably haven't seen a trans person in real life
"When in Rome," basically. In most social settings, asking someone their pronoun will be misconstrued as asking them what their gender is. Trans gatherings might be a little more lax. Queer gatherings would probably be a place where you would either avoid pronouns or ask anyone you haven't met yet.
I guess in some idealistic society it wouldn't be an issue but until we get to that point or even figure out what that ideal is, lets just call people the pronoun they're presenting as.
