Posted by metawaffle I was going to suggest Justine Case, but figured I should instead embrace and support you on your path to a new gender identity. Bravo, you brave, brave soul. Bravo.

Well, apparently my suspicions have finally been validated.

Sara, hopefully it's not too late to add me to the list. I completely forgot to PM you my information. [Now fixed]

Dammit. I see a misuse of the phrase "gender identity" and I am obsessively compelled to point it out.

Gender identity is generally established by age 3. It is, in essence, an answer to to the question "Do I feel more like a girl or more like a boy?" It is extremely unlikely to ever change. Since gender identity is the way you exist in your own thoughts, it is the kind of thing that often comes across on internet forums, for example.


What's happening here is that Ophie is starting to take on a new gender role, meaning that she will start portraying a new role in life. It is things like; dressing differently, acting differently, letting the world see you in a particular way.

And just for completeness, another important term that is frequently involved is biological sex. As I often explain to kids in my class, biological sex is "what package do I have?"

While exclusively male and exclusively female coincidence of biological sex, gender role, and gender identity is common, the three traits are independent, and exist in every possible permutation, along with the other independent factor of sexual orientation.


So, I'm not sure why, exactly, she has chosen to do this (or should I start saying he now?). Ophie has lived her life as a female for so long, it will be interesting to see how it affects things once she starts playing the gender role that actually matches her biological sex.

Who has spare room for me in a hotel room? I sleep well on the floor.

You can prolly take my floor.

In the event that I have the VW camper going by then, I may have room for someone to sleep in my temp home on wheels if they don't snore like assholes. It sleeps 4 comfortably...well unawkwardly.......look, I mean I could pack like 8 cute girls in there....but dudes.....not so much. Yeah, I'm sexist, so what?

So, possible mobile lodging via the westy.

Sara ---- Adam is afraid to tell you that we don't think we can make it to this. Monies. There are none.

Yeah. When would you have to cancel the room by to avoid being charged any fees? If I can't afford my plane ticket this week (I get paid and have a ton of bills + unexpected speeding ticket) there's just no way I can make it. =(

Regardless, he will still be in the Quad Cities (along route 80, in Davenport, IA) with me. Because I will get him out here at least, one way or another. But that will suck up the last of my money, and I won't be able to go to St. Louis.

That is major balls.

unacceptable adam...how much do you need for zee ticket?

=(

It's a long story. All I can say is that the IRS is after me for something that has nothing to do with me, but I have to pay anyway. I'll see what I can do, but otherwise it looks grim.

On the run for a crime you didn't commit...

I know who you are!

On another note, I'm banned from Canada until 2012!

=P

Well, that sucks.

But, let's find a way to deal with the most important issue. Send pictures of Emma's tits.

Try being a little more subtle next time, you weird, perverse man you!


You're just jealous I'm Emma's John Steed, and not you!

I lost count of how many episodes saw John Steed getting naked in public.

Hmm.

I also don't recall ever seeing a photo of you in a sharp hat. No, wait! -

TL;DR

Post the tits.

I already mailed them an anthrax-laden bomb told them they suck.
It will be okay. You guys will get to see Adam some other time, unless the world ends after MWF (which it might, I guess). ...A less nice way to put what I'm trying to say: I don't get to fucking see him either. So all of you quit your whining and making it more difficult than it already is. Move on.

anyone got room left?
