The Update for Everybody Else

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Exams today and tommorow. Geometry was hard as I cannot do the most basic math, and I may have to retake the class online. Tried to start conversation with a certain girl again. I have one more day to try and get her number before the year ends and she is not on Facebook so if I don't get it tommorow I won't be seeing her at all until August.

Is there a word for those who prefer trans partners?

Got the house for the day, since my school had a half day, my brother's went to his friend's house for a sleepover, and my parents are on a trip.

Is there a word for those who prefer trans partners?

A generic, neutral term? No. Typically among trans people the slang for men who prefer trans women as partners is "tranny chaser" or just "chaser", but that's a pejorative, definitely not something anyone would describe themselves as. Also, that could be considered offensive if used by a cis person; "tranny" is sort of like "n****r" in the sense that it is acceptable only if trans people say it (even then, it's not commonly used except when describing other situations where it is used pejoratively towards trans people, i.e. "tranny porn").

I believe someone on tumblr invented a word for attraction specifically to people who don't identify as male or female; Google-fu tells me the term is "skoliosexual". Still, that's one of those tumblrisms that's only used by a very tiny group of people on the internet and by nobody in real life. Plus it's not really attraction to trans people in general, just a specific subset of them.

So no, not really a general term that I know of.

Thanks, tranny.

I'm changing anxiety meds. Lexapro is giving me headaches and I don't want to live at a constant 3.

There are actually quite a lot of such preferers among the sex-tourists to Thailand - actually somewhat more of them are Asian than 'farang', but plenty of the latter.  Transexuals are very popular here - and even among the Thais, who often say 'oh yes, late at night when horny and a little drunk, we are prone to play with katoey'. 

Interesting 'playing with katoey' definitely does not mark one as gay - in face gays are considered profoundly uninterested in transsexuals..
.
For myself, I definitely don't prefer them, but, once in a while (maybe one of 20 sexual encounters) they are another 'spice of life'.  Then again I stick very strictly to 'traditional sex roles' when with one, so maybe taht's atypical.

As some of you (the IRC crew) know, I've liked this girl for a couple of months. We went to prom together as friends, she's pretty much aware how I feel, and I'm 99% sure she just sees me as a friend, which I can accept. Still, my feelings are bogging me down and probably keeping me from pursuing more...viable relationships. Should I just tell the girl how I feel and that I understand it isn't mutual so as to help let it go?

Always trust your Uncle Grumps and when he offers advice, Uncle angus too.  Hokey Dude has learned this.....you should too.

Bro, just ask her. Don't start presuming, just ask anyway and go after another girl. The biggest mistake I ever made in high school was getting hung up over a girl for two years.

That's probably the best course of action, but on the other hand I feel it could be redundant (again, my infatuation is a terribly-kept secret) and could potentially dent our friendship.

So? You ask her out, there's a 1% chance she says yes. But if you just say "I love you but I know you don't and I'm okay with that" or some corny ish like that, you not only **** up your chances now, but you **** up your future chances with her and anyone she tells. Girls don't care about your personality, your looks, or anything else like that. The #1 feature they look for is confidence.

I found a case of Mythos Greek beer today. First time I have seen it in a long time. So my day was successful.

We expect results young man!

Results: Saw her in the hall, talked to her for a little bit, and I totally forgot to even ask for her number. On the other hand, I did get a few other peoples numbers. Schools out for me, as I don't have any exams tomorrow. I have a job interview at the funeral home sometime next week.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

You want to work in a funeral home? I'd drink even more than I do now if that was my job.

Then I'll assume you're not so infatuated if you forgot to ask. You didn't chicken out. Good. Now we just need to get snowstalker a set of gonads so he's confident when he talks to his love interest.  Man you teens are a lot if work.

No, I was working my way up to it but just decided to wait to the beginning of next year when I have my license and car to appear more impressive. In other words, not I guess I was not that infatuated.

The 'friend zone' is what you make of it.

[Oakvale]

The 'friend zone' is kind of a creepy concept that stems from people being outraged that girls might not want to sleep with nice guys (tm) such as themselves. Am I overthinking this?

[Lief 🗽]

oakvale is, as is usually the case, correct.
