So we've seen.

Yeah, I dunno.

I mean, you're still a guy in the head right?

Just having the tits and snatch don't necessarily make you a girl, does it?

Fuck if I know how it works.

Depends...a lot of people in the QNA will tell you that the T people in LGBT have physical differences in their brain-structures that cause their gender dysphoria - ergo, the parts of the brain that are necessary for sexual identity do not match what their physical body says it is supposed to be.

KO's situation appears different from anything like that - chances are she is a perfectly female in every way - except in the memory of whom she used to be. Which is a far cry from the traditional "gender A stuck in gender B's body" sentiment that gets popularized in the media.

Personally, and I'm not KO so I can't comment on this, but what we know of eruption would say KO is female now because, for whatever reason, that's what she wanted to be subconsciously. Even she might not be aware of the reasons why. She might be denying it on the conscious level, but that's what she wanted subconsciously.

Anyway, KO, for whatever reason you're here, welcome to the XX chromosome side of the fence. Once you've had your first string of multiple orgasms, I'm sure you'll decide the grass is definitely greener on this side.

The Harvesters laugh their fucking heads off at that theory. But hey, what more could you expect of baseline scientists studying a nonrepresentative sample of only willing subjects in a field totally out of their depth?

Wish fulfillment. You people fucking slay me.

There was a trans kid in our gay-straight alliance (GSA) at school. I'm perfectly okay with all of this. People are people.

Wow, quite a fucking turnabout. Sorry about your little incident, there, kid. I was watching from the hospital with some of my buddies, and we saw pretty much everything. I'm sure you've heard enough dumb wisecracks and come-ons to last you a lifetime, so I'll just say sucks about what happened, and I hope you can move on from this shit soon. You still considering a career in the XWF, or has this more or less put the kibosh on that idea?

I got no pretend that I understand this shit. All I know is if I suddenly had a pussy I don't think that'd make me a girlie. I got guy thoughts and guy memories. If I looked at some hot little piece of trim I'd be wanting to do some penetrating even if I didn't have the equipment for it.

I had my first string of these just the other day.

They are really neat.

Oh I ain't got a problem with it. I just don't fucking understand it.

I missed the broadcast of your show, Knockout, so I didn't see your mishap, but I've heard about it several times since then. I am very sorry to hear about what happened to you. I would suggest not letting it get to you and simply moving on, but I've never experienced anything like that, and I don't really know how I'd handle a public embarrassment of that magnitude. My sympathies.

But regarding your gender-switch, I'm sorry to hear that's causing you stress as well, but I agree with Salamander. I think you'll find that being a woman is fantastic. So don't worry too much, alright?

I think the problem, love, is that Dani, here, hasn't had a gender-switch. He's been sexually reassigned to a she, but his brain hasn't followed suit. At least, not yet, and it might not ever.

If she is now 100% female biologically, her brain has followed suit. It's simply her memories that haven't. That's a rather unique situation that doesn't happen in baselines - so poor KO is treading on ground that gender psychologists have never covered.

What functional difference does that make? Body chemistry aside, it's entirely possible that Dani's brain, though biologically female, still experiences stimuli much the same way it did when she was a male, but now simply processes them through a female lens. As a male, he was heterosexual: as a woman, she could very well be homosexual. You seem to be implying that a change in the sex of one's brain should somehow automatically trump a lifetime of experiences and conditioning, and I don't necessarily think that's so. Hormones aside, Dani could quite possibly live the rest of her life with the same sense of self, the same hobbies, the same preferences, and the same sexual appetites he cultivated over twenty years of life as a boy.

I'm not saying it trumps it entirely, but it will affect it in ways that you seem to be reluctant to admit. This wasn't inserting a brain into another body.

I've seen trans-girls in the LGBT community who were convinced they'd be raging lesbians prior to having a sex-change only to find out after that they became deeply attracted to men and not at all attracted to women. Their transformations were nothing at all as complete as what Dani has been through.

Like I said, I'm not saying this completely trumps previous life experience. But this is new territory and I think it's unwise to offer blanket assurance that her life will continue as it always did just with girl parts now.

I think I still like girls. At the very least, my roommate's attempts to stimulate my love of the male body by surprising me in his speedo didn't work too well for him.

I don't know if anything else has really changed - I notice things more, but that might be because I can see through opaque objects.

And no, obviously my life's not going to stay the same. My IM list is filled - FILLED - with stupid jokes. I've heard the lyrics to 'Dude Looks Like a Lady' about five hundred times. I'm grateful that people here, at least, have been open-minded. And I guess I should take everyone going 'day-amn' as a compliment too, even if right now it doesn't feel like one.

I passed my finals, anyways. I got to take it by myself since people kind of thought that if I were in a room with a hundred people, half the class wouldn't pass. So at least I can drop out of university with some grace.

Quick question, Knockout, and don't take it the wrong way here...

Can you "switch off" or what some call "dorm down", and if so, are you a male when dormed? That might answer some things.

I can sort of dorm. I can make myself look less... developed, for lack of a better term. When I do this I can still fly and I think bullets still bounce off my chest, but I'm still female.

So I don't think that's dorming. Semi-dorming maybe? Anyways I like it because I can go out in public without causing a car accident. I just tie my hair back and put on a pair of glasses (because why mess with the classics) and tada.

I like girls too. We should discuss this together.

Well, I'm gonna try to be at the bake-off, if you wanna talk about it there...

Pretty complex situation then. If it helps, I think you'll adapt to your new condition eventually. I know it's not much to say, but hang in there.

You tryin to fight me for title of Board Slut?

"Slut" is an outdated idea. Sorry, but I am the owner of my own sexuality. Nobody else gets to label me just because I know what I like.

That'd be lovely. I think you'll like my chocolate-chip cookies. What are you bringing?

Hey, no offense meant. I always liked the label myself.

Uh, is orange Jello with carrots and celery okay? I can make a tub full...

Fair 'nuff.

Well, we're leaning towards baked goods like cake, cookies, pie, brownies, and so on. Is Jello with veggies a Canadian thing? I've never heard of it.

...

You ain't a dude in a chick's body. You're a little old lady in a hot young chick's body.

Well, actually, the rest of us can call you whatever we please. You simply have the option to not let it get to you. In a perfect world, self-determination would determine who we really are, but if that were the case, there'd be a lot more competition for World's Greatest Lover and far more teenagers who were part animal.

I think you're making the wrong stand, love. The idea isn't to pretend that you're a slut, because that's what people will call you if you sleep around a lot. The idea is to throw that back in peoples' faces. What's wrong with being a slut, after all?

All the same, telling people you're not a "slut" is a losing battle. People will call you whatever they damn well please, and if your behavior is slutty, that's what they'll call you.

It's the only thing I know how to make that isn't macaroni and cheese okay

Lemme guess, you didn't pay no attention to your momma, did you?

Nothing. I been one since before I got a driver's lisence.

That's pretty much what I meant, Mister Splitting Hairs Man.

By the way, I'm not slutty. If I got around as much as I talked around, I'd never have time to post here, eh?

I guess it must be a Canadian thing, then. I've never actually gone to the U.S. If you don't want Jello I can get a cake...

Well, I dunno. Is Jello with veggies in it tasty?

I like it...

Well, it's Jello. If you don't like the veggies you can always not eat them. It's not, like, jam-packed full of celery and grapes and stuff.

It's worth a try I suppose.
