Sharper image! :D I changed the file type to fix the blurring problem, which was preventing... ...certain details from showing up properly. :) Sharper sword! :D Certainly a more BADASS sword. :) It's now two-handed, hence the long handle. =) Bigger Chibi Avatar! :D Allows for more detail. :)
Thank you to everyone who commented on my previous blog. I feel a bit more enlightened now, but there are some misunderstandings which I must clear up for all our sakes, and some more material for discussion. Here goes...
Today I spoke up on the lack of recognition of FtMs within this community. In response I was told that my concerns were silly, and I also witnessed a rather sexist remark. I found this to be insulting and hurtful, both personally AND impersonally.
I believed that this community was intended as a place for ALL people with some form of gender dysphoria.
Today I see one that caters exclusively to MtFs, and permits sexist remarks towards men.
I created my account at around 1am on Monday the FOURTH of October, 2010. If I've been a member for 2 years and six hours when today is only the THIRD of October, then perhaps the counter simply overlooked the fact that this year was a leap year?
Is there anybody who's been a REGISTERED member here since 28th February 2008 or earlier, who can remember the EXACT day AND time that they registered, accurate to within an hour either side? Does your counter show something other than your perceived membership period?
Anyway, my second BCTSiversary shall be celebrated TOMORROW.
I marched! =) With banner (for an LGBT group I'm part of) held high! =D Many others marched too, including representatives of LGBT organizations from many countries. ^_^
The most amusing part occurred about 2/3 of the way along the marching route. An organized group of bible bashers were bitching through their sound systems and holding banners and generally preaching fire and brimstone on us LGBTers. Most of us glanced at them briefly as we passed, but no-one paid them any further heed. Talk about a gloriously futile gesture. :D
Why am I smiling like a little girl? ^_^ There's nothing new about that, but I thought I'd share the reason.
I realised this morning... On one of my routes to work, I pass a house with a title. The title has "dyke" in it. ^_^
Despite my hardline MegaTomboyness, I am a Lipstick Lesbian at heart. The mere THOUGHT of being embraced by a "dyke" makes me feel all squishy inside. ^_^
Don't worry gentlemen, I am not 100% lesbian. It's just that "Lipstick Almost-Lesbian" can be a bit odd sounding at times.
1am (GMT) October 4th 2010. That's when I arrived here. You girls and guys and your stories (and your administrating, you know who you are) are so awesome, I decided to stay. ^_^ I have commented and blogged, but no stories of my own. Yet. I have started writing one, though I will not give a release date. After all, the future is clouded, uncertain, and possibly contains highly distracting shiny objects! = )

I did today. It proved to be somewhat disastrous! =P
I attended to my womyn's issues today, with Nair. I applied it to the areas I wasn't courageous enough to wax. When the maximum safe contact time of 10 minutes had passed, I went to wash it (and in theory the hair also) off. Turned on the shower...
Can you believe it? I just cut my nose shaving this morning. Far more psychological pain than physical pain of course.
Stupid facial hair, and stupid testosterone that makes it so. :P
Not that there's anything new about my thinking this way, but this served as a ...reminder. :|
I saw a nice car today. It had lovely curves, and a very slight hint of chunkiness. I got the impression that the chunkiness was the result of a severe manufacturing defect, that had been mostly corrected.
...And the last three letters on the registration plate? = )
