Sorry for the lateness, it's been a crazy couple of days but I'm finally ready for my trip and there's nothing left to do but wait for getting off work in the morning.

Batty- I'm sorry your birthday didn't go well. :(

Helsinki-
I don't get it, either. The majority of LGBT folks I've known have no problem with either the B or T, but you were right when you said that there will always be divisions and the people driving them. I think it's likely a result of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.

Oh, yeah, perfection isn't an achievable goal for humans. Still, we can and will do better. Now that is behavior I really don't understand. Some people will do anything for attention, but flipping off portraits of former presidents when you visit the White House just makes no sense at all.

It is, I was so happy to learn that the DSM is changing and hopefully it will accelerate the case for transgender rights. Now I just need to email my psychologist and a psychologist friend who both signed the petition and thank them (also to keep in touch and keep my psychologist up to date on what's going on. . . I really keep her in the dark too much). That's something I worry about, too, but I hope it never has to get used. I'm kind of a vain bitch in this regard, because when I die I want to be cremated so that future archaeologists don't find my remains, test them, and end up coming to incorrect conclusions about me. They'll just have a name on a register (likely long forgotten) if they get anything.

Hopefully the burning has stopped by now. I hate getting burn scars; I'd really prefer cutting myself with a dull kitchen knife.

I can handle it. :D
