For the record, I never think of you as a junkie transexual.

You know, that Junkie Transexual thing might be the reason someone's Mom is so uptight...

Hah! I was totally thinking that "Well, no WONDER she's so worried about him..."

I'm glad to hear they're looking out for the junkie transsexuals. (WTF? Seriously...why do they need to know your sex at birth? I'm glad they acknowledge it might not be your perceived one, but...um....why does it matter?)

That's very weird about the grave, Hil...

I'm still boggling at this.

And she tried to get a ride home from the UPD? Who she called the cops on? And then tried to sob story her way to a free cab ride?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The UPD, by the way, are actual police, not just security guards. They don't have much, if any, authority off campus (unless they're pursuing someone who started out on campus), but on campus, they've got the authority to detain or arrest people, just like any other cops.

(WTF? Seriously...why do they need to know your sex at birth? I'm glad they acknowledge it might not be your perceived one, but...um....why does it matter?)

To keep databases consistent? It certainly shouldn't change whether you can donate blood. Which, you know, doesn't have chromosomes.

Also: she was in the gym without permission. The police told her she had to leave, and she said she'd be done in ten minutes? If you're protesting unfair treatment, or starting a sit-in, or something like that, then I can see a reason to stay when the police say to go. But when you're in a building that you don't have the right ID to be in, and the police ask you to go, then you go. When they get to the point of, "If you don't leave, you're going to be arrested," and you don't have any justification for being there other than "I want to," then you GO.

Yeah, it just seems odd--unless you're preemptively excluding transsexuals because they are more likely to...be prostitutes? junkies? engaging in unsafe sex? Which seems ridiculous. Even if it IS more likely, it's not 100% (and especially not for FTMs!). And you don't get paid for donating blood, right? So there's little incentive to LIE on those forms...(unlike, say, if you were trying to donate plasma, where you do get paid)

It's just....I can see always getting good grades and reaching college and being confused by C's. I can see thinking you're super special and talented because everyone always told you you were. Not right, but I can see how it happens.

How are you so utterly, mind-bogglingly, unself-aware and unversed in the ways of the fucking civilized world that you don't know to leave when an officer asks you to? And then you call some other officers? And then call the first officers for a ride home? And then try to get a cabbie to subsidize your little stint with actually having to pay for your stupidity?

So there's little incentive to LIE on those forms...

Fuck the forms; the lady asked me directly. Which made me think, "...Do I look like a tranny?"

The workout couldn't wait til she found her card or got a new one? Or did she not belong at all - and really bad at sneaking in?

She probably thought that when they found out she was actually a student, they'd be really sorry. Her parents would even call!
