Scratch:Offended? ::please hoping not::
Winc:::smiling:: Offended? No, flattered. Let’s see… I think it has to do with my phone sex, believe it or not, and… ::shyly:: Zen. Gwynyth rekindled my practice.
Scratch:::snuggling in:: Zen?
Winc:When they do a gender change, a lot of people layer a new gender over the one they had. Like putting on a mask, or a costume. You’re not really changing. I think the deal in a gender change is to destroy yourself utterly… to get to a point of zero, nothing… and then you can create from there.
Scratch:Like art.
Winc:Right. There’s an art to um… doing, or performing gender.

Luger7: No special rights for homosexuals.
Vina: This isn’t about homosexuals!
Scratch:I *guess* I’m happy we’re getting rally reports but jeezuz can’t they stop for a minute?
Winc:I think Gwynyth set them to share with us so we’d be inspired.
Scratch:Oh. Not that last one though. ::stroking beard:: Were you creating from zero before or after surgery?
Winc:Definitely after. Before, I was just like everyone else, racing for what we all thought was the finish line.
Scratch:Thinking your journey would end as you came out of anesthesia…
Winc:Yes, exactly.
Scratch:So did you say, fine, I’m a girl, now what? And then, uh oh, what’s a girl?
Winc:Sort of… It was less than a year after my surgery that I talked with some women and they asked me how could I be a woman like them? Other women said outright that I am simply and only a castrated male.
Scratch:No way! ::flatly:: I don’t believe your womanliness is created…
It *is* you.
Winc:You are the sweetest thing ever. But riddle me this, Batman: what’s womanliness?
Scratch:Touché.

MikeM666: Newbies die!
RainBeau: Hackers suck!
Success: Oh, for chrissakes
Scratch:::Putting my head on your lap:: Overwhelmed at the juggernaut.
Winc:::stroking your hair:: People were ready to do *something*. If we hadn’t started a strike, someone else would have. But y’know what’s cool?
Scratch:No. What’s cool?
