I'll Make a Woman out of You

Story Sent in by Chad:

Date one and only with Julia was short. We had emailed and Skyped and decided to meet at a tech expo (held locally - it was her idea, and we were both into it). When she introduced herself to me just inside the expo, she said, "Hi, Chad. I'm not a man."

She was pretty clearly not a man, and I told her, "I'm glad!"

She kept repeating that she wasn't a man, and not just to me: to anyone at the expo who would listen. Vendors, attendees, staff... it became weird enough such that I sort of just stopped hanging around with her there. I'm not even sure if she noticed that I had left her side: she was in the middle of explaining to a poor vendor how the lenses he was selling wouldn't make a man out of her.

  1. Chad, you seem a little rude. Yeah, she was goofy, but why not just tell her that it's not working out and then go? I'm just sayin' communication is key.

  2. Are we sure this woman in question wasn't Blue Blue?

  3. No, because Blue Blue could be a man or a woman. Probably both since s/he is Green Green's momdad.

  6. Does anyone know a good therapist? I going through a lot right now....My momdad has disowned me and thrown me out onto the streets. I'm pretty sad. All I ever wanted was to be loved!!!!!11!!!1 Momdad, won't you reconsider and please take me back into our shared home? Which we lived in. Together. As a family. Because you are my momdad.

    Also, what's the OP's problem? She SAID she wasn't a man, sooooo......

  7. The problem is that OP kept cutting her off, and never let her finish her sentences. Now we'll never know if she was going say "yet" or "anymore."

  12. But she's NOT a man, she's a woman with a penis, and you are all oppressing her through your ignorance. Geez guys, don't you know anything about sexual dysphoria or raving left-wing psychobabble? As an obnoxious Social Justice Warrior, I guess it falls on me to direct you to some links so you can all Educate Yourselves and see How You Are Doing It Wrong.
