The First Time I Came Out To A Stranger
I have never been good at picking up. I joke that I should trademark my flirting style as "Epileptic Cat"; it's tragic and awkward, and I am more likely to fall off of something in the process than not. However, I will recover as if nothing happened and give you a piercing stare that will make you forget anything you just witnessed 5 to 15 seconds prior. Suave? If I want to be. Graceful? If you're looking at just the right time (it will be the 3rd or 4th time I've done the same thing, just so I can make sure you saw me being graceful). Witty? Oh goodness yes; if you like really messed up, sarcastic, dark humor, quoted mostly from Archer, Rick and Morty, Lord of The Rings (Oh come on; "a little late for trimming the verge"?! *snerk*), or you like your Shakespeare in original Klingon (*makes note* - this is the 2nd decade you've promised yourself you'd learn some Shakespeare in original Klingon - get your shit together).

The Prince’s New Name
Long ago, before I ever met a transgender person, I thought that being transgender was weird and a little gross. I thought that, because that was what I had been taught by my parents and others, and also because I didn’t really understand what transgender was.

Abbott’s Audacious Administrative Act
Congratulations to Governor Greg Abbott of Texas. He boldly took a stance regarding transgender rights of children in his state by ordering professional caregivers and service providers of children (including educators) to report any gender affirming treatment on children as child abuse. This is an excellent political move to end the Transgender Tyranny!

Everything makes sense
For most of my life, I've never given relationships a lot of thought. I never knew why, just that it's never been a big priority in my life. Even when I thought of getting a boyfriend, the idea was always better. I never understood my friends when they talked about their crushes or boyfriends. Whenever I saw the people they found attractive, I could never see it. Then there's the obvious stuff on television and never understood why somebody would fall in love or pursue a person after only laying eyes on them. Or on reality TV when two people would hook up after knowing each other for only a few days.

Two mothers = a father?
Nothing better illustrates the persistence of the dissymmetry of the sexes than the confrontation of each with the question of procreation. Like everyone else, homosexuals answer this question and, until now, they had no choice but to turn to someone of the other sex.
