I checked 11, and most of those were the sensory input leaning ones. I can be around loud music, say in a car or at a show, but add flashing lights & a lot of people (50 +) I become very uncomfortable. I'm very bothered by sudden loud noises - motorcycles or sirens feel almost like an affront...
Reluctantly
You’re not a freak; you don't possess any of the negative connotations associated with that word – at least not due to anything you've stated above.
- Whether or not your sports team won (actually all aspects of sports)
- Which actor/movie/show/”musician” won what award.
- What brand name the thing you just bought, and how that relates to your identity.
- What the unmarried couple was wearing at church. *Note: this is our last...
I haven't argued that a man raised to behave like a woman is indistinguishable from a woman at all. You decided I was making purely constructionist argument and ran with it. What I'm saying is that societies set up false dichotomies between what is essential "male" behavior and what is...
Back to the original question. Reluctantly, do some research, figure out what makes sense to you, and yes - others have identity issues with their gender and sexuality.
I don't think it is as black & white to say that all or no traits are a result of biological sex. Are there some social traits that are more prevalent in males or females? Yes. To the point where we can easily convince ourselves that those traits are biologically determined? Yes. Are they...
My gender identity is female, as is my biological sex- so I'm cisgender. I haven't read up on Queer theories for a few years, but based on the descriptions provided I can associate most closely with "genderfuck"; although I don't actively identify as such. I like to play with the roles a bit...
First, my apologies for unearthing this thread, but I was summoned so I'm gonna go ahead and add my two cents. :p
Thank you, thehabitatdoctor. It is good to know that one's contributions are appreciated...which is what this thread is about, correct? Those sentiments don't come through often...
In my experience:
INTP personalities are likely to be very knowledgeable, intelligent friends, but they are notoriously difficult to get to know, and few people have the patience and determination to get through their shields.
True; in a general sense, although this has less to do with the...
Snowicane! All justifiable concerns aside, I am interested to see what happens when a nor'easter eats a hurricane.

I generally enjoy hugs, but my initiating them is reserved for close friends, family members, and people I have a genuine affection towards. My family is huggy so I don’t see anything weird about expressing affection in that way, particularly with those close people who I haven’t seen in a...
I agree with Dapper Dan here. Passive-aggression is (IMO) an active form of manipulation, or just trying to punish someone. When I retreat back it isn't to get back at anyone, in fact it doesn't have anything to do with them...I just need to retreat and try to better articulate why I'm upset...
I prefer not to socialize with my coworkers outside of work, aside from the occasional night at a bar or holiday get-together. I’ve made exceptions to that rule, but I’ve learned to do that only if there is a strong compatibility with the other person. I guess what I’m saying is that I’ll hang...
