While I cannot comment on the shirt, I can safely say that the owner is in fact super-cool.

I remember seeing a photograph or video or something of a sign like that posted in a London Underground station, except it read: Some people are gay. Get over it.

New page of Khaos Komic. It is a bit ridiculous how all these parents react, but who cares.

Ah, well, I think you all owe me a Sunday. I spent all day reading up on Khaos Komix, and now I'm caught up and it's 1 in the morning, and I have have to be awake in five hours, but I feel better about myself now to see characters that make me feel normal and I'm so glad that I'm not the only one with these feelings...

Anyway, ahem, yeah. Great webcomic!

Ha ha, yes, it does tend to do that. Unfortunately, it updates very infrequently, a page every two weeks or something.

I'm willing to cut the author some slack. Between moving from one house to another and the general holiday hubub, it's really hard to get a comic out on a consistent schedule.

Ah, I didn't know any of the background. Fair enough then.

Unrelated:
Student asks teacher something, teacher replies "I don't know, ask Whelan!"
Me: *from the other side of the room, hearing my name* "What?"
Teacher: You know all about the sex-change stuff, *Asks question*

And the reason I do is this thread, so thanks. :)

Yeah, personal issues of house moving aside (of which I had no clue) I don't actually expect anything consistent from people online between my birthday (mid November) and Valentine's Day. There's just usually too much going on.

It was something to do with post-op transmen and erections. I didn't actually know the answer but hey ho.

They get a small button implanted near their crotch that they can press for an instant erection, and press it again to stop the erection.

It might be the fantastic grin your avatar is sporting, but I can't tell if you're joking or not...

Edit: Wikipedia gives a similar answer. Which was my guess at the time as well. I think I'd heard of them being used for erectile dysfunction and extrapolated.

We can't allow web comic authors to start slacking just because of minor issues like house-moving and holiday-celebrating! Next thing you know they go on hiatus just because of the apocalypse or something.

I'm starting to like my voice again.

I can control it relatively well. My range has increased by a lot. I can hit high notes and sustain them and go whole stanzas before I have to take a breath.

I know that I still have a lot of work to do, but... It's a step forward, isn't it?

Had SRS last Thursday. I'm on good terms with the boy I've liked for 6 months that has been my best friend for 7 years. We got pretty cuddley and I almost kissed him 6 months ago, but I freaked out because I got a bit aroused. I stopped talking to him because I couldn't handle the internal conflict the whole arousal thing was creating. He thought I didn't care about him at all. I finally was able to explain about two weeks what was going on with me. I think I have another shot at things. :3

I am so happy right now.
