• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    That's... Actually pretty good, yeah.

    Yup. That's what I said alright. I am transgender. :) I have a dick but I kinda wish I didn't. And that's what I meant, yeah. Call me 'he' if you want, it's cool, I understand. It makes more sense to me than xie or hir or whatever. I just don't like them because they sort of box me out, you...

    I'd just like to go back to pronouns (and maybe explain my own pronoun field?) because I didn't see it mentioned. I don't like extra pronouns like sie and hir because, to me, it's just a method of othering. I realise that some people prefer them, and I'd respect that and use said pronouns, but...

    Jolty, you are making my head hurt from confusion, and though you are blatantly trying to insult me, I will not give in. No. I will prevail.

    Yeah, that's what I said. We're lower class, so we have a much lower chance of even reaching the point where we can say 'hey, you know what? I wanna go to uni!'. So the cycle continues - low education, get fat, have kids, they get a bad education, they get fat, etc etc'. Well the difference...

    Pssst, I'm the most working-class motherfucker ever. Or whichever one's below working class, at least. <3

    Well I don't think you should get infracted - freedom of speech and all that jazz - but I mean... I'm pretty sure everything I've said has been accurate. I wouldn't say it if I didn't. And also, I don't see how I'm being self-centered? I'm being condescending, yes, but that's... Kind of how you...

    No. Trans* people don't like to be thought of as trans. That's where the term 'passing' (or 'blending', though that has racist overtones) comes from. That is, a trans chick doesn't want to be thought of as a dude or as a trans chick. She wants people to think of her as a chick. We want to be...

    Look, pudgy, chubby, healthy roundness - that's not fat. That could be genetics, and lucky genetics too. Flab, though, can only really come from... Well... Over-eating and lack of exercise. Sure your metabolism can be effected by your genes, but the thing about your metabolism is that by doing...

    Pretty much, yeah. I don't understand why you're all opposed to that?

    Yeah, he's saying 'don't be a dick and call a trans-chick 'sir'.' I just don't believe in genetic fatness. No deep meaning behind it.

    I agree with everything you said, except this. :)

    Eh, the question marks made it more offensive than the language? It was somehow written in a valley-girl accent? Like this? Where everything you say sounds like a question? And you make the last word rise in pitch? Oh god, now I can't stop doing it?

    So... You're saying that HRT is a placebo? Look, maybe I'm one of the 'lucky' ones, but I don't care about how people see me. I care about how - who - I am. The physical changes of HRT are nothing, in my opinion, compared to the mental and emotional ones. Hormones change your mental state...

    Seriously. Whipping Girl. Totally goes over what you just asked. This is where I disagree. For me, gender is both a social concept and biological. Or rather, certain aspects of you are tied to your assigned-sex. A trans-gendered individual has problems relating to their sex just as much as...

    Honestly guys? If you really care enough about gender to actually learn, you might as well read Whipping Girl. Hell, no, you should read Whipping Girl. It's a non-sensational study on gender written by a trans gendered woman. Who is also a Biologist. It isn't a shitty biography culminating in...
