How big is our tent here? [View all]
I'm asking about here on DU, let me explain.
For someone who lives on the edges of what people would call freaky, I'm sure more than a few here would call it deviant to use an archaic term, but what of say furries, or ponys along with other things like a pet-master on out to things with a high squee factor, oh that's not the good squee, more like nails on a chalkboard squee. Oh shit there I go showing my age again.
The thing is that I have more than a few friends in this community and I find some of the things being stated about gender roles in terms of absolutes shocking. I'm a little surprised, but it seems to be where my emotional reaction to the gender threads is based.
I think we could be a little better at acknowledging that spectrum by not being so black and white as we discuss things and leave some room for us freaks.
