Wow! This thread has attracted a lot of attention very quickly.

Ironically, I was thinking beforehand I would just be talking to myself by responding to Patti's posts in the other thread.

Glad to hear you're not an "autobot" anymore. Sarah will probably be glad to know you're a little closer to her category, too. That is, if she's finalized hers, yet.

Why is it I feel this is some sort of dig at me?

Autobot cracked me up though, so we're even lol

Even with me or with Patti?

An Autobot? What's that? Transgender sounds better than androgynous? That never occurred to me.


On a final note, Sarah was bothered by my androgynous label? I feel I'm being a bit thick-headed by saying this, but why would she feel better knowing I'm closer to her category of gender identity?

LOL, it never bothered me aside from not being sure which pronoun to use when referring to you.

Sorry for the confusion. I know CK asked about this earlier. You can refer to me in the feminine pronoun if you wish.

You can even be a Decepticon, its cool with me ;p (yes, I used to watch those cartoons)

Decepticon? Why am I out of the loop with these words? Am I uncultured or something?

At least androgynous has a definite meaning to me. TG/TS/TV seem to mean entirely different things to different people.

I agree. For me, transgender is am umbrella term referring to those whose bio-sex doesn't match their gender identity. I consider transsexuals as those who want to or have already transitioned, while transvestites is another term for men who crossdress for sexual arousal/pleasure.

Sarah,
you took "autobot precisely as I intended, An attempt at a humorous word play on "autogynosomething or other. And, like you mentioned to Jamie, you're also evolving. Glad to hear it, too. I was also just poking a little fun when I said "finalized". You have wandered around a bit in the past. I'm heartened to see you've come to an honest realization and set your path. Great!! No offense meant to Flame, either. I more or less knew where Sarah was going to end up, and since Sarah almost sounded depressed sometimes due to it seeming like she was the only admitted TG/TS that was very active, I just thought it might make her feel less alone if she knew Flame had many of the same feelings.

No offense taken Patti.

I never realized that Sarah's the only active self-acknowledged TG/TS member on this forum. That's why I initially didn't get why she might be relieved by my post.
