My sis and I are polar opposites and fought like cats and dogs when we were little - but thankfully, we're good friends now. :)

No Umbrella please. Not that kind of girl.
I would prefer a Bombay with Tonic - Twist of Lemon, Lime and Orange.

Add PMS to the equation and you are lucky you are breathing LOL

In all seriousness. We all get emotional and have our opinions here. We are a hot headed passionate group who have genuine love for one another (well some) and it's really okay. Often we confuse people's intent because the lack of physical expression. If you saw my eyes, you would not need to even see body language - they speak volumes. But you cannot see mine or Bully's or Weatherboi's or Corkey's or any person here. The one issue with online.

Perhaps we could get Medusa to just have an EYE cam - then we could see more. Eeeeeeeeeeeek - lol - My eyes are puffy.

DeviantDaddy 03-13-2012 04:18 PM

I figured you for a fruity girl type of drink. UhHuh. No disrespect to those who are of the more masculine energy types who prefer fruity umbrella sweet drinks.

:-)

Like someone said, some of us have known each other for ten years, and I am one of those people.

In general, I think new members should be expected to show respect for the culture of our community, but

Many of you have posted as though you have completely forgotten what it's like to be in a new kind of relationship.

Believe me, I remember, and it was more than 25 years ago.

I remember thinking that everyone could tell that I was with a woman, which is how I thought of my relationship at that time.

I grew up in a political progressive family in a diverse neighborhood in a cosmopolitan city, and

I knew that my life was going to be different than my sister's and my cousins' lives, and that it might not be easy.

I read everything I could get my hands on, and I tried to make friends with every lesbian I met, and guess what?

Some of them were just as rigid and uncompromising as some of you.

Corkey 03-13-2012 04:40 PM

Speaking for myself, I don't compromise my principals. Never will, that doesn't mean someone else can't do so.
Rigid, perhaps, but it works for me.

weatherboi 03-13-2012 05:03 PM

I never said butches demonize transguys. I asked

"Wow are the butches gonna demonize the transguys?"

A viable question at the time considering all that was being said and what I feared might be said and where it was heading. I won't apologize for that.

It is against the TOS to drag drama from other threads and name call just in case people forgot or think it is important. I think it is important since it is me getting name called and having my own shit drug around from space to space and getting accused of shaming.

Thanks for listening!

Please see the underlined text. I'm putting the underlined text here: I never felt anyone should have to put more effort into understanding me or my issues anymore than I would put effort into understanding them and their issues.

To me, this one point (and only this one point....I'm not touching the other mess) is saying that ALL parties involved with one another should EQUALLY attempt to learn about the other and the other's affiliations/presentation/id/family/etc. That one side should not put more effort or energy into this than the other; that it should be BALANCED.

How does that turn into 'disinterest'?

:glasses:


I read that underlined text to mean disinterest on first read. I knew Bully did not really think that so I re-read it and re-read it and still had a hard time understanding what Bully meant. I chalked it up to poor sentence structure because I know that disinterest is not what Bully meant....been reading her too many years to think that....

it's all good in the 'hood.....

BullDog 03-13-2012 05:08 PM

LOL Toughy. Maybe you can teach me how to write. How that sentence could possibly mean disinterest is completely beyond me.

I am going to sit with Gemme!!! I love the umbrella drinks with sexy names. Unless I am having shots, then it better be tequila (Patron please) or Jägermeister.

:sparklyheart:

Bully - I read it the same way. And that did not make sense, based on my personal experience with you.

Julie

BullDog 03-13-2012 05:35 PM

This is beyond ridiculous.

LOL apparently now I don't know how to write. Go tell all my writing clients that.

This is all truly laughable and fucked up.

Have fun on the internet y'all.

WOW Bully. It was just misinterpreting your words. I read it wrong. I misunderstood it. It happens all the time on forums. That is why we talk it through.

Nobody said you didn't know how to write. I was an editor for a magazine years ago and my words do not always come off the way I mean for them to be. Does not mean I do not know how to write. Hopefully if someone does not understand, they ask.
