Congrats twerk, figuring out what's up is not easy in a world where nobody ever talks about that, coming out is even less easy. Hope it continues to go well for you!

also enjoyed the train posts

yes, I was just a humble program in the first documentary, but if you watch the sequel to TRON, titled 'Overdrawn at the Memory Bank', the full explanation becomes clear

Were you turned into a stupid anteater? :rolleyes:

let me tell you all a personal journey of discovery if u don't mind

omce upon a time i was a fresh man in college and mostly open minded but sometimes kind of a butt about some things

at the end of the year a friendly acquaintance of mine who i had met as a male showed up to a dance in a dress and i figured it was some costume fun i mean if it was for costume purposes i myself had even worn women's clothing and makeup before

But someone told me she was out transgender now and wanted to be known by a different name etc, and i had literally never heard of that being a thing before

So privately to my friend who had told me i was like "huh? that's kinda dumb" but otherwise was like whatever and didn't care and certainly didn't say anything about it to the person who was trans (who I wasn't really hanging out with that night anyway)

a week or maybe a month later i hadn't really seen or thought much about her since but i was suddenly like "you know what, it's not dumb, it's fine, it doesn't hurt anyone and she can do whatever she wants"

Then at some point i learned more about transgender issues and gender dysphoria and felt like a real rear end in a top hat for ever having dismissed it as dumb

a year later (partially bc she had become good friends with a good friend of mine) i actually ended up living with her in a group house for several years and she is very cool and my friend and i still never told her how i initially reacted but i still feel kinda bad about it

My point of this story for you twerk is give people some time because if anyone you know is like me as a college freshman they might react a bit coldly at first and then get over their initial shock/confusion and be fine and accepting and feel bad for ever having been cold about it

My other point is trans awareness is important, so that people like college-freshman-me can have their jerk reaction safely in private and get over it by the time they actually meet a person who is trans!

I hope this was helpful and not an unwanted thread hijack, namaste
