Love it! That's the most I've laughed at an ENN in a long time! :-)

The band I was going to suggest is a surf-punk band... surf music following the definition someone in the 60's would recognize. For good or for ill... But they are my fave and I believe strongly in their motto: Holy Crap, It's the Hydes! Holy crap indeed. Especially live...

When my state declared gay marriage to be legal it made me happy in my heart even though I don't believe in marriage for myself, personally. Neither does my partner of 13 years! ;-) However, all my gay friends can marry now which makes many of them VERY happy... and then they make performance...

At the park with my binoculars trying to figure out if those really were Buffleheads that I was squinting at yesterday. They are just so tiny.... Also, better name even than Titmouse. Snerk.

Aha! I'm giving up on this thread because of the rapid devolution but I think this is both funny, true and key. I'm the child of (mother) a recovering alcoholic and (father) a wine connoisseur. I definitely went through a "oh my god alcohol is evil you are evil if you drink!" phase. Adult...

Oh, you're awesome. You "get" it and she's lucky to have you in her circle of friends! :-) Focussing on the human and not the sex or gender identity (or history) is actually pretty advanced! Good on you.

Well, my understanding is simply that it's inaccurate. I didn't mean to say "hate" but I suppose "offensive" implies that... so maybe I was a bit inaccurate on my part! Sorry! My knowledge is primarily from intersex friends, educators & literature from intersex education organizations. Might not...

Not to speak for you Deadelus but as a gender activist I figured I'd step in a bit to maybe clarify: "Shemale" is *considered* derogatory within the transsexual community. Same as hermaphrodite is usually offensive to the intersex community. I think it's obvious that you're not intending...

I want to ask why the Escapist has so many awesome gender/sexuality threads...? I'm obvy new here... I'm guessing it's because a safe space has been established. It's amazing what happens when there's safe space! *hugs* OT: I'm genderqueer aka "other." It seems obvious to me that...

This community is so awesome! It's one of the only gamer spot in all the interwebs where you DON'T have to worry about "feeling gay." Apparently no one else here does! XD Really, the past 8 pages of dudes admitting passionate man-crushes are a great way to get & keep the hot ladies. Why do...

New to the Escapist forums but I've gotta say awesome, happy-making threads like these are why this is my new fave spot to waste my time. I love the self definition of "openly open" & it fits me nicely so, I kinda don't count... but here's my version: "unlikely" crushes: Arnold Rimmer...

Talk talk talk talk talk. It doesn't matter if anyone's there or not, just an endless stream of talking, sometimes about the frustration, sometimes about anything or nothing... 'till I'm all talked out. Then walk outside. Then surf the webernet. It's a long process.

Genderqueer Pansexual. You know you love it!
