To ye all (!) who have taken the survey, thank you. The survey is way bigger than I had imagined.

To those who have commented , I am trying to acknowledge you with a reply but it has taken all my time just to keep up with the replies.

I need to leave the comments unacknowledged for now (I have work stuff to prepare for).

Thank you to all the respondents, voters and observers.

Please only take the survey if you are a non-guy or do not identify as a guy, even though you may be cosplaying one for the time being.

As for the guys, please wait over there for a moment ::motions to a set of several The Chairs::

edit: You can select the “Guy in “The Chair”, watching” option, which will give you access to the results.

Edit: Oops. Editing the poll resets it.
620 people had responded. The results were 7%/44%/49% to that point.

Please boost for visibility.

The survey question:

How do you feel about the use of the term “guys” for addressing a group that includes at least one non-guy?

In honour of Trans History Week:

Before internet…
Before corporate dial-up services like Compu$erve, AOL (almost online), GEnie, etc.…
Before the bulletin boards…

In the 1980’s the sources of trans information were few and far between.

One treasured source was a magazine called Tapestry (née TV-TS Tapestry). Looking through the archive, I recognize the second edition of the full-colour magazine format was one that I had purchased in 1987.

This magazine was available at a specialty magazine store or, more likely, at a porn magazine store.

Tapestry had a mixed audience of TV and TS. In the 80’s I was still figuring out what I was so I suppose it’s true that, “when the student is ready to learn, the teacher will appear.”

Compared to buying a daily newspaper to find information, the distastefulness of going to a seedy porn shop, Tapestry was an oasis.

By comparison the 90’s were the Golden Age.

But I wonder what happened to the TV/CD’s.

This parent nailed it on “parental rights” for parents of trans kids (3:23 of the video):

“If you need somebody else to tell you who your kid is, you’re probably not that good a parent.”

Especially the part:

“ And truthfully, I am deeply skeptical and wary of anyone who somehow feels this conflict is easily framed for the benefit of only one side.”
