I don't have any siblings but i often wonder why people get upset on social media especially if you don't know the people very well, if at all. But I very rarely use my FB account.

Ok I'll stop whining now. Sorry couch. I have to let her sleep in my house 2 nights next week and thats doing a number on my head. I'll get over it!

I am quite sure you have given a lot more to the world than your son.

And Art, remember those two magic words during your mother's visit: "bisexual pagan."

Not to put a curse on you or anything, but i hope it doesnt make you want to sell your house! Which bed will she be sleeping in? Hock-ptooey! (Just spitting to break the spell!)

Eta - i would mantra "asexual dragon"

Eta2 - geez its worse than our ts going on vacation!

I thought dragons were by definition asexual. I mean, I just can't imagine the mating process. (Even though I've read the Pern books.)

Guess I know what image my mind is gonna get stuck on tonight!

I have only been on facebook a few times and do not actively have a membership right now. But it does seem to cause a lot of upsetness for people.

Theres no boy dragons or girl dragons??

stopdog · May 16, 2016, 04:49 PM

Don't dragons lay eggs? Wouldn't that be the mama dragon?

Who can tell under the scales and heaps of gold?

I love how we're sitting around discussing the reproductive processes of fantastical beasts.

DarknessForever · May 16, 2016, 04:59 PM

So true. But I have read plenty of books with boy AND girl dragons. And mother and father dragons. So...

Yes, but what is the actual mating process? I have trouble visualizing it.

I need details, details.

unaluna · May 16, 2016, 05:29 PM

I think they explain it in the Finding Dorrie movie...

Now THAT I cannot say. Never really explained that.

I do, but that may have something to do with the alcohol I drank.

That's okay. At least I'm not alone in the weird feelings.

I also suspect that they try not to. With limited success.

PS:

In retrospect, Madame T's "don't label yourself" attitude was hypocritical. Everyone thinks in labels and I'm not allowed to choose my own?

This is an academic discussion because who cares other than me, but it might be something to work on, because rationally there should be no such difference. Or maybe it would be better to work on the misplaced notion that others have an interest in understanding me, regardless of their genital category.

Or, you could accept that you have subconscious assumptions and be cool with that.

I don't know. Too deep for me.
