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.

pardon, but, um, what does that mean?

That means I don't want to have sex and am not sexually attracted to people, but I "fall in love," so to speak, with people of both genders.

It's also a load of bullshit, because *I'm* not quite sure exactly what it means yet. ;-)

Ha, I call myself pan-asexual, for the same reasons. Except that I don't define my attractions by their gender. They're just themselves.

Genderwise - female bodywise, neutral in mind, would still call myself a woman.

Yeah. I mostly stuck w/ "bi" because that's the term more widely used as it is. Besides, when I have an icon like this, people may start worrying if I said "pan-asexual." ::snicker::
