I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way, but...
Dear god, how many of youse guys are transgendered/ambiguiously gendered/whatever????
I'm now up to four people on my friends list (that I know of). And I love you all dearly, and want everyone to be as happy as is reasonably possible. I just didn't know so many of my friends were... whatever the word is (I'm still not sure about that). Kinda like when I realized so many of my friends were religious, but different. (Actually, it's a tossup about which surprised me more.)
I mean, I understand why so many of my friends are autists, because I actively seek out autistic friends. And I understand why so many of my friends are bi, because most people are. But I'm a bit surprised at the number of people who identify as transgendered/whatever. I understand vaguely why various people are trans, but I'm not sure how chance led me to have more trans friends than I realized. Unless my view on statistics was completely effed up.
Yeah, this did come out wrong. I mean more along the lines of "wow, I'm surprised, I wasn't expecting that" not "OMG! UR ALL FREKES!!!!1111oneoneeleventyone!!!1". Once the surprise at the numbers wears off, I'll be back to my normal non-caring benevolence.
Incidentally, if you want to tell me anything revelatory, now would be a good time.

In fact most australians are pritty easy about it. Espicaly at my work place. here's a very good example.
Yesterday i was attending fire warden training. the 50 year old vetren fire fighter running the training was honestly suprised none of us wanted to quizz him about the rather public coming out of the first openly transgendered fire fighter in australia last week. it was at his station so yeah, i guess he;s copped a bit of it. But questioning it didnt even occur to any of us to ask. A room full of 30 people and not any of em gave a damn.
