Works for me  :thumbup:
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

How to apologise to Scrap

How does it feel to identify with another gender.  Do you feel a lot different now than you did in your GA days?  Was it very good feeling to change?

Are you still into Star Trek?

It feels like identifying with any gender? I dunno it's hard to explain, like "so what's it like being autistic?" lol

I guess confusion is a big factor, most of my life I spent accepting what society was telling me, I was a male. I didn't fit in with other guys though, but I thought that was just autism...

But eventually the incongruity with how I felt and how the world told me I was got too much for me to continue with.

It's an annoying situation to be honest.

I'm far more emotional now, which is a bit of a cliche heh, but true nonetheless. I was closed, reserved before. I kept my emotions bottled up (other than anger unfortunately), but now they've exploded into my life, and it's causing a massive amount of chaos.

But I wouldn't change anything (other than physical stuff), I like being female. It fits a lot better than male ever did.

I still get dysphoria (short periods of acute depression) about my transition (as in what's yet to come), and how I'm still kinda stuck half way (physically) and get all anxious about passing.

But even with all that, I'd still do it again if I had a do-over (though I'd do sooooooo sooner)


Yes I am still a Trekkie :)

Hi I'm Ceildih aka Kayleigh aka GA (aka GalileoAce) :P

Google "Manic Pixie Dream Girl", I'm not like those women, but it'd be fun if I were. I'm also bipolar, so mania....woo?

I'm not sure what you should know...what do you think you should know?

Do you ever miss the WP mod days?  Do you think the online AS world has changed a lot since then?

I do miss it actually, though I'm not the same person I was back then I might hate it if I did it now :P

I think the the online autistic community has grown more fragmented and diverse over the years, which isn't a bad thing, I think it's helped to mellow out the collective voice. Back then there was basically WP and AFF and they were, to put it poetically, almost like Charles Xavier and Magneto from X-Men. WP wanted to work with the NTs and what not, AFF was (from my perspective) more about establishing our own identity in spite of the NTs. They both had their extremist viewpoints within their communities (which in hindsight is kind of hilarious).

But now, the collective voice seems to more saying "Auties, NTs, pfft. Let's just get on with living and maybe educate and advocate if we can be bothered".

Of course that's coloured through my perspective then and my perspective now, and may not match reality :lol:
