The previous entry was Friendslocked; not deleted. I'm working on a project at the moment and don't need to distract with BAWing and dramuh.

After literally YEARS of trolling the Otherkin community, and me personally, crazymaxwell has finally, FINALLY been banned from the comm.

Oh to have been the one to wipe the grin off that bastard cactus' face.

( For a fond look back, here's some  )

I am so, so tired of my parents telling us we should wear skirts and dress as a woman. This may be a female body, but there are almost NO women in it. David is explicitly, absolutely a man (albeit not the most manly man), I, Mordax, have no gender, leaning towards presenting as male; plus the cavalcade of occasional male headmates we’ve got.

I’ve got plenty of neuroses, dad, you don’t have to say that not wanting to wear women’s clothes is one of them.

My anger at this is exacerbated by the fact that I’ve been feeling a lot more masculine than neuter lately; possibly as a combined result of co-presence with Vincent for the last week, and all the Warhammer 40k and Gurren Lagann we’ve been consuming.

I think what it comes down to is this, I, and the rest of us, consider this BODY to be at fault, when it comes to gender/sex, and DON’T appreciate anyone trying to force us to accommodate the body for the sake of “social propriety”.

I’m going to be blatantly honest here; I have the least respect for women of anyone in this system. The culture I was originally raised in was extremely patriarchal and male-centric. Women were lovely flowers, and good mothers who should be seen, not heard. My time growing up again in American in the 20th century now, has helped alleviate some of those feelings, but still, being told to wear a dress to me, is akin to being told to put on chains and grovel.

Now, David and Vin have very different feelings when it comes to women (from me, and from each other) but neither of them wants to be put in a dress for a number of reasons, the first of which on the list is, THEY’RE MEN.

Now, I can’t explain any of this to my parents, and wouldn’t expect them to understand or accept it either, but it pisses me the fuck off. We are not going to dress to accommodate your world view; we are going to dress to accommodate ourselves, which is enough of a challenge with our varying tastes, thank you much.

Shiloh: Hey, I don't want to sound rude but I think your avatar is a bit offensive and inappropriate for the younger kids on this site. As a mod, you're looking out for the site's best interests, and allowing kids to see that doesn't seem right.
Just my opinion though, you can ignore it if you want, you;re the mod. I'm just saying what I think, no harsh feelings. I just have younger siblings on this site and I'd rather they not see that.

Me: I'm sorry you don't like the image in my avatar. However, everyone on the site is required to be 13 years or older, and the owner of the site gave her stamp of approval on my bikini avatars quite some time ago. It's really not more than someone would see in a clothing catalog.

Shiloh:True, but the fact that the avatar looks lesbian could offend people. As I said before, if you're allowed to have it, fine, you're allowed to have it, doesn't mean people like it.

Me: I've actually gotten many complements from people who find my avatars (which are a man's head on a woman's body) quite humorous. Again, I'm sorry you find it offensive, however, as a non-heterosexual, I'm rather offended by your comment that people might not like it because it 'looks like a lesbian'.

Shiloh: Heterosexual or not, someone who is homosexual might find it offensive. Other than that, I'm not sure I have anything more to say on the matter, if you understand where I'm coming from, there shouldn't be any resentment on either side.
