i had a pretty severe issue with some antidepressant medication that didn't work well for me, that strongly affected my art. i'm slowly working back up to my previous quality and productivity levels. So that's why :)

i eat sushi! i just really don't like the taste of cooked fish, as that fishy flavor reminds me of the gross stuff on the beach at low tide and turns my stomach. i don't mind smoked salmon so much though!

Oh god, so much! i crush on cartoons way more than real people. A lot of it is stuff i grew up with, or modern permutations of it (such as MLP:FiM and other reboots), but i like new stuff too. The Easter Bunny in that new Rise Of The Guardians movie looks pretty cute :3c i love seeing kinky fan art of my favorite characters, though i don't often draw fan art myself. There's a lot of surprisingly fetishy stuff in some shows, too, like the Smooze from the old MLP movie, Discord's hypnosis in the new MLP, all the TFing and turning to stone and stuff in Gargoyles, etc. i suppose it's easier to find fetishy stuff when you have a ton of fetishes! XD but the short answer, is yes. :)

i'm not sure what there is to tell; i'm pre-transition, female to agendered. i bind regularly, but not every day (too painful after a day or two in a row) and dress pretty androgynously. i plan to get top surgery someday, i'm still torn on bottom surgery. i like being able to be penetrated and i'm not a big fan of anal anything. (TMI woo!) However it is a very expensive process. i hope to start gender therapy sometime next year. At some point i would like a hysterectomy. That's about it!

i've been a very long time at answering this one, because i was mulling the question around in my head so long.

i think it's best to let children self-identify. Give them the information on girls, boys, intersex, androgynes/agenders, trans*ness and gender as separate from sex, explaining it more indepth as they become old enough to understand, and believe them when they say what gender they are on any given day. i've seen this done before and it works fine. Kids need structure but not when it comes to creating their own identities.

i think a more gender-neutral society would avoid things like classrooms making 'girls against boys' activities, segregated line-ups for recess, that sort of thing. i think bathrooms should be 'bathroom with urinals' and 'bathroom without urinals', with menstrual supply and condom dispensers in both, rather than men and women. i think society as a whole would benefit from raising children that know their identities are their own to claim, not dictated to them by authorities.

There's more to this topic, of course, but that's my quick answer.

Surprised me, not really, except maybe realizing i liked diapers-as-humiliation (i'm not really into them in any other sense, though of course i have no problem with people who are). For the most part i'm aware that i have ALL THE FETISHES FOREVER.

Talking... via text! i prefer text conversation to phone calls, though i don't actually have a texting-capable phone, so i'm referring to IMs and stuff here. Of course, in-person conversation is preferable to all of the above.

Mature but childlike, whimsical, creative, intense, complex, an open book, caring, loving, easy to love, clever, driven, resourceful, deserving of love and happiness, wonderful, quick-witted, funny, thoughtful, open-minded, pretty much the best.

Pleisiosaurs had big extra ribs to help support their body weight! Belgium has three gender/sex options legally! Strange food cravings are a symptom of fibromyalgia!

There, that's three interesting things :3c

Some violence is a trigger for me, some isn't. It depends strongly on the situation. Mostly i watch ghost and supernatural horror, so it isn't as much of an issue. Also, i enjoy feeling scared by horror movies because it's a good reason to be scared, and it's a scared i have control of, unlike my usual anxiety-fear.

Sorry to hear you have PTSD, i know how rough it is.

If that was true, all mating would be rape, not just interspecies. That's clearly not the case, as it's pretty easy to tell when animals are enjoying what they're doing and when they aren't. Some species do engage in a lot of rape - ducks, for example, or dolphins - but it doesn't mean they aren't capable of consent.

i can do either :D

Ink quickly, with sweeping motions. It'll look rough at first but when you get used to it it'll be much easier than trying to ink slowly.

i actually have not transitioned yet, though if you mean coming out - it was hard, but turned out well. Almost everyone was really supportive.

As for the second part of the question, a bit of both. i always felt out of place as a kid, and then the feelings grew stronger over time until i was able to put a name to it - 'i'm not a girl or a boy' - and then internet research helped me through the rest of the way to being able to say 'yes, i'm agender'.

Oh gosh. Probably a dragon? *boring*

i've already written a blog post about this! Check it out here: http://genderfuckedover.blogspot.com/2010/09/unbinary-srs-gender-variants-v-medical.html
