So yeah, I joined a dating website because I have nothing else to do with my time...
Besides graduating, making a resume, planning a presentation, studying for exams, still applying to grad school, trying to keep my insane cats under control, going back and forth from my parents' house (moving things in slowly), applying for jobs, working ridiculous hours because my college insists on doing this stupid thing where the library is open 24/7 for students to study at all f*cking hours (not taking into account that the student employees are also STUDENTS--you hear that, college?!--and don't WANT to stay up all night when we could be doing something important, like doing our own studying. Or SLEEPING.)
How is it that I manage to have free time?
But yeah, I got bored and joined a dating website. I love filling out the info about myself. I love talking about me! As you've probably gathered...
What sucks, though, is this website only gives you so many options to choose from when listing your gender and sexual orientation.
When it comes to gender, this website gives two: male and female. Surprise! So which do I choose? Uh...? Is there an option for those of us who don't fit? Or who are all over the f*cking spectrum?
I wound up choosing female.
My rationale for this is that I will probably be more accepted in the gay community, so rather than shocking some poor girl with my strap-on when she was expecting a real cock, I figured I'd give people the heads-up and let them know what to expect. So I listed myself as a female looking for another female, and wrote in my profile that I'm a transman. Also, my profile name has Pete in it. That should give people fair warning.
Then it came time to list my sexual orientation. This site gave three options: straight, gay, or bi. What the f*ck, website? What about those of us who are, again, ALL OVER THE SPECTRUM? I'm NOT bi. I think I've made that clear by now.
Bisexuality implies a gender BINARY. Binary means TWO. As in, two genders. It only recognizes male and female. I like EVERYONE. I'm not kidding. Male, female, androgynous, multi-gendered, two spirited, third gender, fourth gender, FIFTH gender, FTM, MTF, MT-whatever, FT-whatever, I don't care! If you're human, I'll go for you. And, as a little hint at what gets my motor running, if you are a man in drag or a MTF, watch out because I will be on you like glue.
Digression.
This website only gave three options. I wound up choosing bi, but seriously...isn't it a little silly to try and neatly organize things that have no order? It's science, folks. Yeah. That is TOTALLY science. And math, because you can't divide something that can't be divided. Logic.
I rule at school.
UPDATE: I changed my gender on the website to male because I decided, f*ck it.
