CalliopePurple -> RE: Genderfucking (5/30/2005 4:18:12 PM)

Part of the reason I guess I don't necessarily like the word "genderfuck" is that I really don't like profanites...it's not for religious reasons (far from it, because I've never been Christian) but I simply don't like how they sound. I know other people have no problem with it and everyone else can continue using whatever word/phrase they want as long as they know how they define it. I'm in an oddly easy-going mood today.
And it came to me the other day that the time I remarked in the main CollarMe.com chat room that I really didn't see myself as being either gender, someone commented "that's a very slave-like statement." After directing the person to read my profile, he apologized, but continued by saying that some slaves are trained to see themselves as asexual beings, not having gender. I found that...odd, to say the least.
Then last night, again in the same chat room, I'd mentioned that I was thinking of shaving my head again and a random person piped up "You might want to save that as an act of submission for your future Master." Gah, the world is full of idiots. *Points at profile*
I know that making assumptions is something a lot of people do, especially in a forum or chat room area, but it got on my nerves because it was more then just assuming I was something I'm not, it was making that assumption based on my views and desires.
I'm a sadomasochistic, bisexual, genderqueer pagan switch and that doesn't make me, or anyone else who identifies as some of those terms, unsure about myself or in a state of confusion concerning what it is I am and what I want from the world. I know my place is firmly in the grey areas, not black and white and easy to sum up in a single word.
