You know, those people who you don't know if they're male or female and they don't want to disclose that information and you're all like, "I just want to know what pronouns to use" and then they're all like "screw you, that's none of your business, leave me alone" and then you're like "then how can I love you?" and they're all "cut a hole in the sheet and figure it out" and then you've had enough so you go out walking and find an IHOP and you spend all night eating caramel crepes because it's really hard to have just one plate, especially when you're confronted with gender ambiguity late at night, so you stay up all night eating damn IHOP and reading an old copy of IN STYLE you found stuffed in your booth, then you go home the next morning and they're waiting at the door in their non-gender-revealing nightclothes, shaking their head at you and they're all like, "NOW YOU'RE FAT!" and you're like WHAT.EVER, because at least you know that much about yourself, you know?

So what's that ABOUT?!?!?

HYPOTHETICALLY

Theres this person whos gender is ambiguous at work, actually its a guy but he partakes in makeup and padded bras. Anyhow, most people just call him by his name, avoiding the "he, she" dilemma.

You know, just for posterity.

Damn.. you caught me out

Damn that's hot.

Is this a Fellini film?

there were a group of gender neutral people from a university on the news lately proclaiming the need for a gender neutral bathroom. it would be for those that do not identify with the sex they were born with and dislike being forced to use that gender's bathroom. at first they were asking to be allowed to use the handicapped bathroom but that got shut down real fast lol.

wtf?

XxAxX said:

What is Pat? It was revealed right?

ThreadCula said:

i don't think so?

XxAxX said:

SNL seriously needs to revive Pat. i LOVED that sketch. i remember the one where John Goodman gave her/him a haircut and tried offering her/him either a Better Homes and Gardens magazine or something like Cars and Trucks, and s/he asked for People. by the end of the sketch he was trying to feel her/him up just to figure it out!!




good times. good times.

Wowzers, you are out there.

Someone at my job just went through gender reassignment. My bosses were calling her "him" the day after she announced that she was doing it--before it actually happened, and their only comments were "that's so cool!"

I'm pretty open minded, and I support people's decisions as long as they don't hurt anyone else. But I realized that it was okay for me to not just treat it as "oh whatever, she's a he now." I knew her as a her for years and now she was getting a new name and new identity. Why should that not be something I would need to adjust to over some time?

Now I've been cool to him to his face and I use his new name out of respect. But I just thought my bosses were weird for acting like it was no big deal--something that everyone goes through.

I mean, what if Anx renounced Xanadu and started calling himself Xna? Would it be no big deal?

I have a transexual friend who went from she to he during my time of knowing her--->him. I knew of her before she was a he, but then I became friends with him after she became a he. It was the hardest thing for me to think of her as a him. I felt like the essence was a she and the covering was a he. But then as I got to know him better, he definitely seemed like a he because his voice got low and gruff and he had facial hair, wore a leather jacket and had a masculine aura. So now I mostly think of him as a him, but with a soft her inside also and mostly as a really smart friend who has a lot in common with me.
