*Awkward Laugh*
May. 8th, 2008 09:43 pmBefore I get to the awkwardness, here's part II of the Mai-HiME thing, and thanks to the people who took a look!
Now, awkwardness. Today in Sociology class we briefly skimmed over sexual and gender identities, and that's always fun. *sarcasm* I could actually see the guy next to me go into "deer in headlights" mode as soon as we got into the area of transsexual vs. transgender. It doesn't help that the genderqueer community hasn't even figure out all of its definitions yet.
Oh, and I thoroughly confused everyone with my explanation of bigender. As progressive as Greenfield is, they still have trouble thinking outside of the gender binary. I kept from saying that I identified as bigender (though some might have picked up on it) just so no one would come up to me and ask if I had testes or something like that.
Yup, this area's a minefield. I should just direct people to online articles from now on if they want to know what I mean. *headdesk* Though it was pretty funny when someone referenced "Stupid Sexy Flanders" during the sexual orientation discussion.
