Perspective

Then:

Sex isn't really possible for me unless there's at least one girl involved.

Now:

Sex isn't even remotely likely unless there's at least one "girl" and no "boys" involved.

Do note the differences; they feel huge to me.

Interesting!
Er, answer in e-mail or IM if you wish -
self-identity as 'boi' or 'girl'?

[adrienmundi]

For the moment, at least, "notboygirlwhenIwanttobe" seems the best I can come up with.

[martinhesselius.livejournal.com]

Makes sense. Wasn't sure if 'no boy' included self.

[adrienmundi]

I am a master solipsist; of course there's self referentiality.

[martinhesselius.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

Oddly, though I normally do not feel terribly male, I normally don't want to avoid being a boi, but would rather have the option of being boi/grrl/so many other things at whim. But though I may play a Bard on TV, I don't come equipped with Celtic shapechanging powers, alas, so my desires for a fluid identity remain largely in my thoughts. 'Fantastical,' as it were, in several senses of the word.

Dang it all! We do need to figure out how to do that Vulcan Mind Meld thing. That way I can see me as you see me - *and* you can see how notboy you really are. :-X

FWIW, dear, you are lovely yourself. Though there was only a low flirting-quotient in our conversation at Fantasm, I was well aware of this. Just wanted to note it for the record.

Then:
Sex something'nt something something something something something something's something something.

Now:
Sex something't something soemthing something "something" something "something" something.

Damn them chimps... got it so much easier

Never underestimate the artificial necessity of quotation marks. Remember, Xeno's paradox isn't just a bit of philosophical history; it's also a way of life!

I sla'p jou vit my solipsism (in my best M.P. 'holy grail' french accent)

Heh. Were I a Bonobo, 2/3 of the time I think that I'd take the grooming by other members of the troop over sex...

A random passerby goes off topic

[gurdonark.livejournal.com]

I know that the topic is sex/boi/boy/girl/grrl/remotely likely.
I apologize in advance for failing to be a well-mannered random visitor who either forbears to comment until a less intimate
topic came up, or who merely forbears to comment at all.
But tonight I did an exercise in "search Livejournal"
which I think I'll share.

I played the "imagine users" game. First, I imagined
someone was named "helpless", and sure enough, I hit
someone named 'helpless', with a post last July about
the shortcomings of a boy.

Then I tried "helpful". Sorry, no users.

How about "helper"? Again, no users.

Then I hit on "feckless". Here you were, on the conditions
of intimacy with a boy, a girl, or not.

I am intrigued that nobody is helper or helpful,
but feckless and helpless are well represented.

Back to surfing now, and have a good weekend (grin).
