I knew something like this was coming. I have a feeling we aren't going to let this down for quite a while.

I look forward to telling people I am cisgender. They will be all, "What does that mean?" and I'll quack, "Well, it means I am not transgender; I am actually the gender that I appear to be and I fill normative gender roles based on my sex." and they will be all, "Huh, what does transgender mean?" then it will get really interesting because I will get to talk about female neurons, banana hating transexuals, and cross-dressing whoopee!

Honestly, though, lucky for me that I was not born into some struggling minority or whatever. Yeah, it is totally flippant, but fuck it, I only got this one life and I aim to live it happily while not worrying too much about the struggles of people outside my sphere of influence. I've learned a lot about other groups of people in my travels and readings and most of them don't want special treatment so much as normal treatment, so that is what I model in my daily life. I think that is the most we can ask of each other.

P.S. and in the "Killer Boobs" thread no less, I fucking love these forums!

Unfortunately, a lot of the "pro-equality" groups do not understand this. Many of them never will.

PS: I enjoy these forums as well, and it uses my second-favorite forum software.

Actually I like Fluxbb. 2.0 is going to be especially sweet (it's still being developed), because you get to build the software module by module if you want. Flux is fast, stable, and simple. Not to mention it's easy to apply mods, and you start out small, therefore creating your own unique software package by implementing choice mods and modifying code as you please. Of course, if you want to start out with a lot of elegant and pleasing features, then MyBB is a good choice. At least in my opinion. I like SMF, but it's not my cup of tea to modify and manage.

Funny, I would have presented SMF 2.0 exactly as you did Fluxbb.

They are similar in what they offer. In my opinion, for the FOSS forum software realm it's basically: MyBB vs PhpBB or SMF vs FluxBB, depending on what you want. All have great communities and developers. SMF is nice, but Flux is more "me" I suppose. I haven't tried SMF 2.0 though; is it pretty much amazing? I might look into it again, now that you mention it.

Poor girl;

I DO how she feels; I had a similar problem with my scrotum until the operation. (tripping,sitting on them,banging them on door frames,that kind of thing. hock:

Her spine must be a mess.
