I need a name for my soon-to-be-started 12' sailboat. I'd prefer to have something both clever and trans-related, but non-obvious. Something like the button I wear that says 'Neither'. It makes the viewer think, and then chuckle when it dawns on them.

Found a source of Interlux Toplac paint that includes a color called 'Bounty' that seems like it has a purple cast to it. I'll get a quart or it, plus a quart of lauderdale blue, plus 2 quarts of Mediterranean white. White for cockpits, blue for decks and purple for hulls, for all three boats. That covers 2 of the three bi-flag colors, omitting pink. Can't find pink in marine paint and not sure I want a pink boat anyway. Perhaps I'll use hot pink paint when I put vessel names on the transoms (transi?)

A new community has risen!

Hey everyone.

I was reading feminist_rage recently, and realized that there should absolutely be a community like it for ranting about gender. So, I have created gender_rage for all of us to spout a little anger at the society that holds us back.

The community is fresh and new, so the more members, the merrier.

Happy posting. :)

Gwen Piccies :o)

So I guess I'll do a sort of timeline of my own. It starts in September of 05 and ends up yesterday. Soooo, without further ado,

So, my school isn't as GLBTQ friendly as I thought it was.

Yep, same ole thoughts, run over, and over, and over again. I wonder why I'm transitioning, wonder if i should stop, wonder what kind of life i'd truely live if i did, wonder if i could be happy, or even content. I wonder how far i wanna go. i wonder what it would be like to be a man who dind't like his penis, or what it' dbe like to be a man at all (something that, though born male, i dont feel I know very much about). I wonder how delicious it would be to copulate with a man as a woman (wihtout that extra bit of ...penis ::grins:: blah...though his is yummy!). I wonder how truely differnt it is to be interacted with as a woman instead of a gay man...or a freak. I wonder if there is much difference...i wonder if i've made it all up. I wonder...why i'm so afraid.

I am a poet and a dreamer (infp baby) and i live and interact on a very emotional level. SO much that i can lost within my fears, lost within what i feel, what i'm supposed to feel, what i think others feel, and how others might react. I get lost within my hopes and build a world where i can see myself as happy...and proceed to ahve some trauma that leaves me alone and broken. I'm as mean to mseylf, it seems, as i preceieve others might be...given the chance and oppritunity to see the monster I am.

I saw "a girl like me" this week. It really wasn't near as bad as i thougth it would be. They were more artsy about her death and destruction then soldiers girl was, but the point was made non-the-less. I feel her pain so much, as you read. I dont pretned im' the only one to feel so...outside....everything. As if we're the antithesis to "normal". As if happiness i ssomething that only a select few are allowed to attain. Gwen was a strong woman, and i'm so greatfull to her mother and family for letting her story be told.

anyway, friends are here...yes i have some! i didn't lie! LOL
