If no women wore top hats, my nipples would not get hard.

I wanted to make a post addressing the hostility I see between various groups of feminine trans people. I wanted a post title that would express the value that I see in gender-variant behavior in otherwise cis-gendered people, be ridiculous and yet be (mostly) true.

Don't Worry, It Sucks For Everybody (Part 2)

In part 2 of DWISFE, I'm going to take a look at one of mother earth's most perplexing creatures, the straight female, and examine how this often maligned creature doesn't have things as easy as bitter, bitter men on the internet would have you believe.

Fashion Analysis Program

I put up a page for a fashion analysis program I've been working on for a bit. The concept is: You construct an outfit out of the different clothing items in the library, and it evaluates that outfit on several criteria, such as what sort of occasions it is appropriate for, what sort of weather it seems appropiate for, and how it fits into different gender presentations.

Don't Worry, It Sucks For Everybody (Part 1)

I sometimes hear from people that they envy the advantages that another group of people have when it comes to sexual relationships, whether that group is male or female, straight or queer. While I have also in the past held many of the same viewpoints, I've now matured to believe in a asymmetrical but universally sucky (and sometimes awesome) experience of relationships between sexes, sexual orientations, gender identities, and BEYOND

My Response to Sexual Survival for Geeks

My criticism of the SxSW Sexual Survival Geek slide show by violet blue:

#1. I don't think there's any reason to know gender sexual stereotypes in geek scenes. Is the purpose of this to divine the often inscrutable geek gender? I say just use "they" as a pronoun and open everybody with "You look a little like buddy holly" and go from there.

Famous glasses

I liked this video



Partly because its patently ridiculous (Possibly Chronicles of ridiculous), and partly because I think it reflects the absurdity of our guilt-based society.

Tomboy songs

This post by Geek Porn Girl and the accompanying music videos reminded me of my deep affection for tomboys. I also cried a little the first time I heard Dar Williams' "When I was a boy". That song is like some kind of magical tear dislodging machine.

I am probably not unique in being amused by Those Darlin's song 'Be Your Bro'. I am probably unique in being only person who thought of the surrealistic flash game Pipedreamz and its haunting demotivational speech "I'm your boss but also your bro."

When can someone comment on the surgery for whats in your pants?

I once saw a friend's post on Livejournal about cosmetic vulva surgery. A boyfriend in LA inquired whether she she had cosmetic vulva surgery and that freaked her out. Apparently strangers inquiring about the status of surgery you have on your genitals is still pretty novel in the cis-world. As a trans person, I've become kind of apathetic about random inquiries on the medical history of what goes in my pants.

ART AND ROPE HOORAY

Here's me after my girlfriend played around with some rope and subsequently photo editing software. It looks like I'm bound for a satanic sacrifice from the 20's!

Fuck Yeah Cute Trans Chicks

Awesome! They made a blog about two of my favorite things! Cute Trans Chicks and saying 'Fuck yeah!' This was seriously a case of wondering if I time traveled from the future to create it out of concern for my past boners.

I like that there are more venues to showcase the cuteness of trans chicks instead of just porn, which while neat at times, presents a lopsided window into what cute trans chicks are up to on a daily basis.

I especially liked these entries:

Sexual competition

In some ways, sexuality may involve competition.  People have choices of who they can be with (Especially women.). People maintain standards of who they want to be with (Especially women). Sometimes, these standards are dependent on the available options. This introduces competition into sexuality.

Unfortunately, many people become overly fixated on the element of competition in sexuality. I would suggest the cause is attempting to shift into stuff that masculine western society does not understand well (sex, love, happiness, relationships) to something that masculine western society does understand (Competition, distribution of resources)
