I'm always in awe of your energy. :)

Really? I mean . . . really? I think it's just the peppy enthusiasm that punctuates my writing.

apricot_tree October 12 2010, 14:58:41 UTC

Peppy writing doesn't create all the amazing things things you do - seemingly simultaneously. :)

gina_r_snape October 12 2010, 15:08:13 UTC

LOL. The only thing I do simultaneously is watch tv while on the internet. Or work while on the internet, as the case may be. . .

That would be bad writing on my part, then! :o)

She sounds terrific! :)
I hope you get an early night's rest!

I knew Kate many many years ago in Philadelphia, as a good friend of good friends, and I definitely know about the disconnect between a lot of her writing (and speaking, and boundary pushing, and general intellect) and her general everyday warm sweet personality. She's definitely part of my top 10 people that I wish I had become friends with, but instead only admire from a casual distance.

gina_r_snape October 12 2010, 14:38:06 UTC

Aaah, yes, so you know what I mean. I bet she would be a joy to have as a friend. At least, she certainly wouldn't be boring!

Much as I like Kate as a person (I met her in London some years back) I find her approach that takes the view that there's only one way to be trans and it's her way a bit much to take at times.

Sounds as if you had a real blast! :o)

gina_r_snape October 12 2010, 14:39:37 UTC

Yes, I can understand that well. But one thing she did say in her introduction was "of all the things I got wrong . . . "

Considering she wrote a theory book 15+ years ago, even though her ideas seem outdated at times, she does still resonate with a lot of folks. So I'll give her that. But there is no one-size-fits-all. In fact, I will talk about that a bit in a locked post later today.

I NEED THAT HAT!

Did it make you want to take a shit on a Swan?

gina_r_snape October 12 2010, 14:41:11 UTC

Heeee. Well you CAN'T HAVE IT!

re swan: OMG, that literally made me laugh out loud.

No, but I did a shit on your mum. And she rather liked it. ^_^
