Transsexuality, Discordianism, and Self-confidence

[Salty]

Where in Germany were you? I'm guessing a big city? But yeah I suppose they are rather tolerant.

(Can't speak for the smaller rural places myself because 1 it's rather hard to get a good feel for those places unless you live there for a while and 2 even if I had, I bet you can't generalize over them at all)

I was in a small dorf about an hour or so away from Stuttgart. Lots of conservative, farm-land types. It was still sort of taboo to be gay, but I rarely saw really any malice. More shame than anything. Maybe it's because of where I live now, where men are MEN and grizzly and rugged, if you know what I mean. But over there I wasn't considered as feminine, it was simply never an issue, which I think further shows that it's about cultural and social norms.

Kai: Yep. I love the term queer because it works. It is broad enough to include all the things that people think are "wrong", and allows people to break it down as they need to. It also makes people uncomfortable in just the right way.

There is seriously a very valid struggle in the subject of so-called "transgenderism" (which really deserves a more fitting name... I say we come up with one that doesn't imply crossing boundaries or transgression) but it's shit like this that makes me feel like we've been set back 20 years.

Thats why I just use "queer". It just indicates people who are different than the so called norms and just want to live as they feel comfortable, whether that means wearing skirts, pegging, or penis jousting. Or any number of other things. Alty is queer, I'm queer, Phox is queer, you're queer, Zenpeanut is queer, LMNO is queer (and a big, fabulous cowboy). Etc. If some people who call themselves "transgendered" are uncomfortable with being queer, it's probably because they've been spending all their time stuffing themselves in boxes and would rather lash out at allies and hide under a persona than just be themselves. I mean, deep down we all want the same thing, which is to be accepted for who we are. I speak from experience when I say that self identified transgenders in their uphill battle to put themselves in a box and become a stereotype, often fight the hardest against anything that might be considered transgressive just so they can be "normal". FUCK that.

I'm going with "queer", too.

Because I loves me some wierd.

I don't get it? Can't come up with any way I'd be queer, cause I'm pretty straight afaik? Except, as previously mentioned in another thread, with my hypothetical clone/timetraveling self

[East Coast Hustle]

I am queer by the standards of PD because I'm the absolute spitting image of the stereotypical "heteronormative" manly man.

(yes, I hate that word but I didn't want to type 6 other ones in its place).

Which means you endorse the act of sucking your own penis. Which is pretty queer, so don't worry about it.

eh, i'm referencing that time that you made the thread complaining that there lots of people posting nothing but

"NEWSFEED" and adding no contributions to the discussion. Don't worry about it.

For the purposes of this board, everybody's sexual/gender orientation is "NOBODY FUCKING CARES".

It's one of the things I really love about this place and I wish the rest of the world was more like it.

It's one of the things I really love about this place.

In case anyone is interested, though, I'm really into dinosaurs.

You should hook up with this guy I know... he's a dinosaur shaman.

Any guy who says he wouldn't suck his own dick if it were possible for him to do so is not only a liar, but the absolutely WRONG kind of weirdo.

thinking about it.....I can't wait to use that to entrap the next homophobic idiot I come across.

Dear Beardman Meow,

I read your post out loud at the altar of the Magnificent and Powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex. The ancient spirits wanted me to relay this message to you:

"YOUR KINK IS NOT OKAY".

Please understand that the ancient spirits are over 30 million years old, and their views on love and marriage are therefore a bit conservative by today's standards.

Mighty T-Rex is aware that human beings who disapprove of each other's sexual preferences use words like "fag" and "breeder". He asked me if there was a similar English term to refer to humans who feel sexually attracted to dinosaurs and other coldblooded creatures. I told him I did not know if such a term exists. So Mighty T-Rex, King Tyrant, magnanimous and glorious alpha of all living beings, created the following terms, which now apply to you:

SAUROGGOT

PALEOHOMO

TAIL JUGGLER

CLOACA MONGLER
