Vaeolet: I would say you missed the point but that's kind of like saying the Holocaust caused some grief; indescribable level of understatement. XD Not only did you take what I said to the extremes of literal, you also have said something that you've mentioned in like six different threads that I can recall off the top of my head.
I'm probably going to lose respect for saying this because if you don't know me you'll read it in the voice of someone who is trying to crush someone under his boot while saying it [try amused exasperation instead, that's far more accurate] but I am not one known for holding back on what I have to say:
You're pre-op, you talk about it all the time. I'm a guy; I think this might be like the first time I've actually pointed that out in any real context. We get it. You're a woman in a guy's body, and you're getting a sex change; I get it, you don't need to bring it up in every. single. thread, alright? Don't get me wrong, I like your personality, you're delightfully cheerful and have a wonderful sense of humor, and whatever you want to do with your body is not going to affect me one way or another...unless you weaponize it in which case I will be the first to ask for specs so I can do the exact same thing.
I don't care that you're getting a sex change. You could tell me once you're pre-op, soon to be post-op, and leave it at that, and my perception of you would not change. But I don't need to be reminded of it every single time. I don't need to know of your sexual exploits. I don't need to know that you think all men are dumb muscle. This is a gentle request: Please stop bringing it up. It's like the gay people who are not content with being gay; the ones who feel the need to remind me every ten minutes. You need prove NOTHING to me; my opinion of you is happily neutral; your choices are your own! I am not going to judge you for those choices. Ok? You need not assert yourself, you need not work for my tolerance and acceptance because I already both tolerate AND accept you. You say that your genderal issues are the forefront struggle of your life; if nothing else, it need not be the case here. I cannot help but labor under the intense suspicion that nobody here looks down on you for it. Well. Except the theists, but they can eat my ass, anyway...
There, I just...felt that needed to be said.
Please don't be mad.
Now, if you would like, I can write out an explanatory post that removes all elements of rhetoric and exaggeration, but I assure you; it will be a very boring post.
