Don't get it? Slap a label on it. (mild)

She’s a rabid anti-labelite!

You stay out of this, Gay Guy.

:wink:

Lose the comma and you’ve encapsulated my love life for the last six months…

Actually it works with the comma too.

Well, since there’s a smiley face I’ll guess I got your name right. Next time you do a “Ask the Gay Guy” thread, please insert an at-least-four letter word into the title so it’s searchable, pretty please? I know it won’t stop the hamsters from hating me but it might help.
I’m glad you are still here, Esprix, I was beginning to think we’d lost you. Are you still living down in Caid?

You know I never realized it wasn’t searchable. Huh. I used to have a link to all four threads in my sig line, but I changed it for my Dad in 2003. Perhaps it’s time to change it back.

Still in San Diego, at least for the time being.

I’m sure to a lot of the people on this Board I am “that transsexual lesbian” and very little more.

It’s rather depressing at times.

You’re a transexual lesbian?

Wow, I had no idea.

Actually, I had no idea.
And now I’ve got to go and try to wrap my mind around the phrase “transsexual lesbian.”

I should’ve just stuck to watching Ghost in the Shell.

Having read Eve’s and gobear’s complaints (thanks, lee, for doing that thread!), I can understand.

However, if you happen to be the sole left-handed blonde lesbian Albanian dwarf with a willingness to share your life experiences, there’s an extent to which you’ve got to expect that you’ll be expected to field questions from people curious as to what it’s like to be a left-handed blonde lesbian Albanian dwarf.

There are times when I get sick and tired of being the poster child for decent compassionate, affirming-style Christianity – though I do get a break in posting about linguistics, dirigibles, paleontology, and such in GQ.

So hear a lot of sympathy, and a little “I hear your pain” (;)) – but also a recognition of the fact that we did choose our roles by being “out” about who we are and what we feel.

That does not mean, however, that any Yahoo who chooses to post on a given topic (like the clown who decided to condemn you for “waking up one morning and deciding to become a woman” a while ago) demands that you specifically have to respond to him. You have plenty of friends here quite capable of performing supplemental proctological surgery on him (i.e., “tearing him a new…”) – relax and let them, if it’s getting to you!

Yeah, yeah, cry me a river. I’ll bet a lot of people think of me as “that Korean schoolteacher”, and little else, but you don’t see me complaining.

So one of your parents was from the isle of Lesbos and the other one from Transylvania?

Fuck you. Here’s another label that’s useful from time to time. Asshole, and I think it fits you like a glove.

Marc

Boy, that was necessary.

See, this is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about here. Snap judgements based on too little information.

You missed my point. I called you on it. Granted, I got to my point in a roundabout sort of way, but my snarkiness at you didn’t involve cursing or name calling. Get over yourself.

Really?

Was that necessary? Nah, so I guess it’s appropriate to remind you about pots and kettles calling one another names.

No snap judgement was made. I didn’t think you were an asshole until you behaved like one.

You behaved like an asshole. I called you on it. Is it my fault that your point was missed because you don’t know how to compose an opening post? Is it acceptable to behave like an asshole so long as it doesn’t involve cursing or name calling? If you don’t wish to bear the asshole label then I suggest you refrain from snarky behavior towards those who fail to interprete your miscommunications.
