And you are just figuring this out, sunshine?

Wanna see a closed mind, watch a full on leather daddy cringe at the thought of ftm persons in their space.

Oh, I knew. But they seem to think they have immunity.

I fucking hate the scene anyway; I don't know why I bother.

They don't, believe me I know. You may just have to invest in a 'I don't recall needing your permission to exist' t-shirt. Made of good silk and costing a fortune, of course.

*kidding about the fortune part*

Because you have not developed your own scene yet?

Heh.

I guess. I don't really fit in anywhere. I have less problems when I go to gay bars, but then there's a 90% I'm going to get sucked into some conversation about ~*identity*~ and be called ignorant by some doss cunt who reads books like Whipping Girl and is majoring in gender studies or something. I mean, I wasn't aware there was a required reading list.

Lately I've just been staying in the regular pubs and trying not to get involved with the chatting up aspect.

Oh them. They can study all they want. But isn't it fun to break their little theories in half and watch them sputter?

I take it ...you are transitioning? Or just cross dress? *genuinely curious*

I've never gotten them to sputter! They're so far up their own arses, they always think they're proven you wrong.

I'm neither. I guess that's what confuses people. I don't see it as being in drag, I see myself as a girl...but I'm happy being a guy too. People say I'm confused. Because you're either a woman or a man. But if people are bisexual, why can't I be, erm, bigendered or whatever? You'd think of all people they would understand that not everything is black or white.

I see absolutely no reason, why not.

NOw mind you, I like the male form, but it doesn't mean they have to dress manly. That's just my sexual preference. As for gender appearance, I've been doing drag entertainment longer than the Roman Empire. In regards to what I identify as, I love my male bits,never want to hide them unless I am in drag for a show or for my own amusement.

That said, you're right. People are slow to change - especially those who've only just gotten their privileges or what passes for rights. Some places say glbt friendly, but really the t is only lip service to some, only thinking to include them in rights, but not the social circles. Silly twits. And I see how it would be even harder for you, even amongst the transgendered.

Take heart, they aren't all bad. You just have a limited pool of people to ...now, where was I? Oh yes, I'm Metrobius and you are?

ooc omfg, sorry he's babbling.

*blinks a few times, then collects himself*

I'm Brendan. Hi.

And yeah, that makes sense, you know? I’ve heard so many people describe about coming out and/or transitioning as a second adolescences, so I guess it explains why they act like a bunch of high school kids sometimes Very cliquish and elitist and petty. Eurgh. I hated high school.

A pleasure to meet you, Brendan. *pleasant nod*

There's hope for them yet. But yes, I can imagine school was horrible.

Naturally.
It's about playing it safe, not letting yourself risk new ideas. I doubt there's any group of humans who are all immune to that.

I guess what really gets on my tits about people like that is that they tend to go out of their way to talk about how open-minded they are when they aren't.

*nods* Talk's cheap. If you can't back it up with how you treat people, it's about worthless.
