Baha, it's happened before. Nothing a handsome sliding man can't fix.
Yeah I know huge populations of people who would not be alright with me. The family I babysit for, my direct neighbors on both my sides, any of my past employers, a couple of the profs here, many of the male students I know, a couple of my doctors, etc.... I just haven't told them. :`D
But the online thing is an interesting situation. Here on Gaia, yes; on tumblr, yes -- though I have a great deal of issues with tumblr's communities for other reasons. But these, let's admit it, are like pits of liberalism and dominated by the younger generations. You posted comments from an article on your tumblr and though none of them were outright anti-trans, they were skirting. That was a nice place in comparison. Many news websites have comment sections filled with bizarre and furious ranting about these sorts of things.
I did this search awhile back about whether it was legal for a man to take his wife's last name --- the answer is irrelevant; the comments were insane. Yahoo! Answers is apparently deadset on guarding modern masculinity because every post was
you cocksucking f** why would you want to do that; if you're gonna take her name and be her b***h, you might as well go all the way and cut your d**k off; can't believe you'd dishonor your father and his entire family line don't you have any pride in yourself etc. etc. (because, clearly, matrilineal family lines...don't exist...). People are nuts all over. Likewise Facebook can get very hateful and illogical if you live near/connect to that type of population. In any case I'm not concerned with anyone online giving a s**t. Screw them haha. It's real life people who could beat or kill me that I'm concerned with.
One of my really good friends here is lesbian and over the summer got cornered by some dudes in a parking lot and beat up for picking up a chick in a bar. And one of my mom's twitter friends had just about the same thing happen a couple months previous.
Yeah, I'm hoping so. It helps if I have someone with me who refers to me by a male name because even fewer people are going to question that. xD But I'm pretty alone this semester so I've only risked a couple runs out to fast food places while passing. It's difficult also because people in my dorm see my coming out of my room....and know it's me...but I sort of look different.... Awkward. >_>
I don't remember if I got marshmallows or not. orz
BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY EXCITING
Also once I went as Davy Crockett and people thought I was Daniel Boone. Honestly, dudes. Who has a Daniel Boone costume???? The coon-tail on my hat should have been a clear mark that I was Davy.
The gif. Choose the giiiiif.
