| I only wish it was for the sake of health insurance purposes in the US of A... Other than that, I don't feel like it falls into a mental or a physical condition, per se. It's a question of gender identity, which lays between both areas. Risky. |

| Yeah, I've had four real jobs (busking doesn't count, right?), and been fired from three of them for meltdowns on the clock. Of those three, the longest lasting one was two months. My first job was my best, I worked there for almost five years and was practically a manager coming out of high school,... |

| Yeah, lots of them can be pretty clique-y. I went to a large Texas public school that's not UT, and it surprisingly had a fairly large GLBT group. It was fun for about half of my first freshman semester, I even got voted in as a student representative, but I'm not big into politics and that's ALL th... |

| I'm just curious, as a mother to a 3 year old who may be talented in that way, how your son's ability began to show. I'm sorry I can't answer your question about software. I'm adopting this as my pet topic. :) When I was around your kid's age, I started begging my parents for a violin. I don't know... |

| I'm not "proud" of it, it's just who I am. I wouldn't change it and I'll fight for it, but I'm not all "HEY GUYS I'M HERE I'M QUEER AND I'M AUTISTIC LOVE ME OR GTFO." It's a non-issue for me unless someone comes at me directly. |

| [quote=] I am transgendered (ftm) which moderately confuses the concepts of 'gay' and 'straight' sex. 'Gay sex' in which the other participant, regardless of biological sex, acts* as and treats me as male is very satisfying.

| I got lucky and befriended an Aspie gay guy who also happened to be a go-go dancer (strange but true). He taught me how to dance at the club. So I'm an androgynously queer somewhat female, dancing like a gay cage dancer. It's a strange sight but at least I can dance. |

I'm really close to three other Auties/Aspies I met in college, but we don't live near each other right now. My bro guyfriend doesn't live near me either, but we get tog... |

I met them through a student organization and we all instantly clung to each other. I've lived with all of them, been on trips with them, visited the... |

| I'm saving up for a Yamaha Stryker. Motorcycle noise hasn't ever bothered me unless it's from a whiny crotch-rocket. No offense to sports-bike riders, I love the way the bikes look but I like a lower center of gravity. Low rumbly engines, please. |

| Cotton and only cotton. No blend less than 75%. I seriously refuse to wear anything else. I actually like 100% cotton, especially in t-shirts, because I am scrawny and a size small in guys is still too baggy, I like my clothes to be "fitted" but not clinging. So I wash every new shirt on hot three o... |

My best friend refers to me as a "transgender twink bi boy." It's pretty accurate. :D I feel more like a male (I'm pretty ... |
