Something in the air...

There must be something in the air, because all the bad stuff I've been reading on my f'list (friends struggling, having a hard time, crap politics, etc) has today been replaced by people talking about good things (a 5-year job anniversary -- go, indiana_j! -- awesome family dinners, BIRTHDAYS, both gone by yesterday and coming up tomorrow, and general good

I'm almost afraid that there was somehow a link over here... Unless it was the one I left in your comments, and then that's okay. ;-D (I always have this very odd, "Wait, people read this?" moment when someone new comments -- especially someone I know of. *laughs*)

I've edited my entry to be accurate -- thank you! I wasn't sure if you still were LDS or not, though I couldn't imagine how, given the politics and beliefs. Still, I've met a surprising number of LDS queer folk lately, so...

I am, however, butch. Ha ha.
*dies* Okay, I just have to tell you after I read this I went back to your blog to check that you had, at some point, identified as butch and didn't just come across that way. I was relieved. ;-D But while I have you here, since I've already mentioned you, pronouns! He? She? Hy? Ze? I might as well edit to be polite and use what you prefer, too. ;)

*grins* I've commented on your blog once, and probably will again. I'm still in the stage of reading, oh, everything, and feeling a bit like an interloper, but I'll get over it. ;) Also, half the things I'd comment on are older posts, and that seems... odd.

I do quite enjoy reading it, though, and appreciate that you put your thoughts and experiences out there for people like me to share. Thank you.

There are a lot of LDS queer folks in one form or another. I know several who are some combination of in or out of the church and in or out of the closet, so I didn't take it personally. I just know for me, I prefer not to be associated with them, even though I acknowledge the role it plays in my past.

Yes, i definitely identify as butch - so no worries there. I take that word as a compliment. And as far as pronouns go, I'm fine with he or she. I think both tend to apply at any given point. I tend to stay away from the hir/ze/syr ones because, goodness. That gets confusing, even for me. Guess I'm old school? Or just lazy, I don't know.

Feel free to comment on whatever you like on the blog, new or old. I don't mind. If you have an opinion, share it. And now that you've told me you've commented, I might need to go back and look. Don't take it personally, I just have a shitty memory.

*nods* That makes sense -- I have my own number of things I feel that way about. ;-D

Prononuns -- *cracks UP* I feel the same way, and then feel vaguely guilty for not taking the time to do whatever it is that other people want. Or I start always referring to folks by name to avoid it, with just sounds wordy. And then I start being confused about trans vs butch vs feminist... *laughs*

*laughs!* I commented on the femme invisibility post, but I likely will go back and comment on other things, now. ;-D (I don't take it personally; I have a shitty memory, too. ;))
