Me too. I can spend hours on genealogy and I have my tree going back to the 1500's on almost every lineage. And I can get wrapped up in researching all kinds of stuff, usually not people though.
I did do some researching on t when I decided to do the long haul and get into the guts of my transgender self. She had already let me know that she was not familiar with the LGBTQ community. I primarily was hoping to find out anything that would let me feel more comfortable about bringing up these topics. I found that she has a fairly strong religious conviction so it became imperative to talk about it before we went further. She's been great on these topics btw.
