Ahh... Just ... out of the blue, here, why is the length of someone's "pure awesomeness" offensive to transgendered people? I don't know about you, but when I play a man (in person) I have no problem with the amount of sock I stuff, and yes, that differs from instance to instance, but it certainly doesn't bother me if someone else's sock is bulgier. (I may be impressed, but yanno, married.)
It's a stupid thing to put in your profile, I mean, I'd seriously question someone who added their willy size to an application, but if it was a joke, and it looked like a joke, then really, what's the issue?
The problem wasn't the length, the problem was the statement that the existence of said length 'proved' that he was male. One doesn't need any proof in the form of sexual organs for their gender, and the implication bothered me as someone who lacks even an inch but still feels male pretty often.
Ahh. Honestly, I think you may be overthinking it, not to be offensive or mean or anything else. Just honestly, I think you may be overthinking it. If someone is happy with their weenie and proud of it, ...well, what's wrong with that? Why take that away from someone else (possibly someone who has been gender reassigned, for instance. I'd be DAMN proud of that bad boy.)?
You don't need a weenie to be a man, but ...if you want to look like a man? You need some costuming. Lack a weenie? Never. There's socks. (And more sophisticated goodies which are too expensive for someone that can really work a sock. >:D) Just be proud of who you are and if anyone asks, tell them you've got an AWESOME weenie. If it's there in your mind, then it's there.
...And if you are the only one that knows that weenie is there, it kind of is in your court to realize people aren't consciously trying to hurt your feelings about it.
Being proud of it is one thing, using it to prove your gender is another. And socks are awesome, I know, but that's a different thing.
I'm clearly oversensitive over this and I'm just going to back out now. Have to work tomorrow. If any major comments asking about details come up I'll answer those, but I figure at this point I'm in the wrong and so I apologize and call it quits.
I think it was a rough day, and you've been very gracious. Not in the wrong, really, just sensitive to something. We all have those days.
You made me sad when I saw "lacks even an inch". You don't lack. Not even an inch. All jokes aside, if you've got the mind set of being a man, then all you really do need is the costuming if you're going to go out and have fun with your man persona. Otherwise, you're you however you are.
Okay, breaking my promise (which I guess is really just not to argue) to thank you for this, hahaha. I only realized I was genderqueer pretty recently, when I suddenly realized that, holy shit, there was a reason I was so into drag night at school and why half my accounts online were male and why I wanted to have the ability to switch sex at will so badly, so I'm still kind of dealing with a lot of confusion over it. So yeah, I don't lack, and I need to have that kicked into my head now and then. :) Thank you again.
I can recommend a couple trans* groups on LJ if you want. I had actually found myself wondering if you were relatively newly-identified, b/c when I first identified, for several months (at least) I was a bit more sensitive to things like this.
Could you link me to those as well, please? I'm lucky enough to have a few friends both irl and online to help me through this, but the more the better. (Especially if they're the kind that are okay with somebody being trans and gay. I've noticed... kind of a lot of people who think that's not legit, and then I sadface everywhere and feel bad.)
I am like everything only even worse! Instead of bisexual, I'm pansexual. Instead of an English major, I'm a Comparative Literature major. And instead of a girl gamer, I'm a genderqueer gamer with a tendency towards old school text games! I DO NOT EXIST SO HARD I HAVE ACTUALLY RUPTURED A HOLE IN REALITY

Also, I'm pansexual and genderqueer. Clearly I just can't make up my mind and I'm totally not legit.
