Thread has moved way to fast while my modem was busy shitting out its own organs. So if you responded to me back some pages ago or further, I'm not gonna be able to even find your post, much less respond to it.

Cuz I'm lazy.

^ There ya go.

She missed the part where she threw gratuitous attacks at someone who's not even involved in this thread right after I blocked her.

Also, revisionism is revisionist. But whatever, it's not like I was expecting something else.

I don't know who you're talking about, but I'll add another line of you bitching next time this happens smile

Which reminds me, for Halloween I went to a Rocky Horror Picture-Show! I went with my gays and it was so much fun. I was dressed as a slutty milk maid.

I wanna go to RHPS so bad.

In my hooker boots.
And purple/black striped stockings with garter belt.
And crotchless fishnets over that.
And purple man thong.
And a corset.
And fingerless gloves.
And elaborate make up.
Maybe a wig, because my natural hair sucks. But maybe by then I'll have it dyed.

******** yeah.

I actually love the stockings/nets/garter/man thong/hooker boots combination so much I might take pix. Don't have a corset though. :[

Sorry if this has been asked; this thread is looooooooong.

What is the proper way to refer to a transgender person's gender?

Example: Bob is born male but dresses like female; do I say Bob is a he or do I say Bob is a she?

I'm seriously not trying to offend, I just would like to know so I can be respectful if I come across this social situation.

refer to them by their displayed gender, is my rule of thumb.

May not be technically correct for some crossdressers but I have yet to receive any complaints as such.

Usually they will be reasonable enough to let you know if it bothers them, though.

Corsets are ******** EXPENSIVE! D<

I want one just to make my rib cage a little smaller.

I looked ridiculously sexy in my costume. Normally I dress in a more innocently cute manner, but my god, I looked like a friggin' Playboy playmate in that thing. It was so weird! I sooo wasn't used to dressing so provocatively. The skirt was so short I kept worrying people could see my panties. My gays kept grabbing my boobs and pinching my butt to tease me.

I WISH WE COULD'VE GONE TOGETHER SYN! crying

Too bad you live all the way in California with AH-nold and Disneyland.

Thank you. smile I appreciate you explaining. I'd hate for somebody to get the impression I do not respect them simply because I say the wrong thing. (I've pretty much been taught social skills; and this question never came up in any social skill classes or lessons)
