Nice clouds.

You mean, "Teh Rain"?

A UFO flying by would be cool.

Hey! Those chem trails are dissapating too fast.

Should I go to the Trans March 2008 -- or not?

Last year's zombietime report on Trans March 2007 was singularly unpopular. But I see the next one looming as it's just such easy pickin's for wacky photos.

I'd suggest getting Mike Rowe to follow you around, but that would defeat the purpose of having anonymity. Still, you do one of the dirtiest jobs around.

Mike Rowe also lives in San Francisco.

No. They're having Trans Stonewall anniversary event instead, of some kind. Not like a public protest, unfortunately.

What's "Trans March"?

Trans March

The Trans March is, according to the event's own website, a gathering of "ftm, mtf, bayot, crossdressers, sadhin, hijra, transvestites, bantut, drag queens, drag kings, mahu, transsexuals, bakla, travesti, genderqueers, kathoey, two spirit, intersex and those with other labels for themselves and no labels for themselves, those who see gender as having more than two options, and those who live between the existing options."

Heh, that reminds me of the Bill Whittle rant on chemtrails (amongst other things). A little dated but still a great read!

CF:

"Think about that, and weep. Think that there are people out there right now -- people two cars over in traffic, or ahead of you in the check-out counter -- who believe that our government is spraying high-altitude poisons designed to kill us all. That men and women -- thousands of men and women -- go to work every day, refilling the tankers with deadly chemicals, or flying top-secret missions in broad daylight, indiscriminately spraying death down on their drinking buddies, fellow church-goers, co-workers, cousins and wives and children. What kind of person--. Excuse me. I'm sorry. I don't do this often but I just can't continue this calmly:

WHAT THE LIVING HELL IS THE MATTER WITH THESE PEOPLE?!"

Classic!

Who is Mike Rowe?

As Bugs Bunny might say, transvestites are such iiiiiiinteresting creatures, so I say Zombie attends and reports back on the festivities.

The terrain in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle (home to a statue of Lenin).

Summer Solstice Parade,
Naked Bikers, and a culture obsessed with nudity

The 20th annual Summer Solstice Parade took place today in Fremont, showcasing the funky neighborhood with a highly diverse gathering of people, participants and spectators alike. Of the thousands that gather each year to celebrate the longest day on the calendar, none are better known or more emblematic of the event than the 'Naked Bikers.'

Can't fool me. I know you'll never go where you're expected.

However, this raises the question, is a gender indeterminate zombie so well camouflaged among the trannies that you feel safe in making a public announcement?

re: #33 zombie

Not sure what these are:
bayot, sadhin, hijra, bantut, mahu, bakla, kathoey, two spirit

Any idea? I can' believe how clueless I am in 2008~

re: #46 MandyManners

It's for gender-skewed. Of course there will be furries.

OK, so far the votes are 12 Yes, 0 No!

Very interesting, considering that last year's report went mostly unnoticed. Everyone wants me to go, but no one wants to actually see the resulting pictures!

Same deal here the past couple weeks. Had a monster t-storm barrel though around 11:30 am yesterday, then sunny, another one around 1:30, then sunny again. Managed to avoid any more the rest of the day, though some were nearby.

I have a fairly long north-south drive, so I can see several different weather conditions in the course of half an hour.

My son wants to be in the pool as much as possible and the little guy gets cranky when it's raining.

Furries...

Dan Savage, the gay sex columnist, is a monumental a-hole, but he did have one great insight about them. He said that he thinks the furry subculture originated with people who hit puberty during the Great Heterosexual AIDS Scare ca. 1987-1992. Savage said that a certain proportion of the population became so terrified by adult sexuality that they unconsciously regressed back to their childhood associations with comfort and sensual pleasure: stuffed animals and animal cartoons. When their libidos became too strong to suppress any more, they just psychologically grafted their sexuality onto this fantasy world of play-beasts, and took on erotic identities as cutified creatures.

It's as good an explanation as any I've ever heard about them.

Hijra are flamboyant transvestites in traditional Hindu culture. They're almost a (very low) caste to themselves.

"Two Spirits" are Native Americans who claim to have the spirits of both genders.

Bantut are Filipino swishers -- famous for being able to easily "pass" as female.

Etc. etc.

re: #61 zombie

Actually there's quite a few furries that _are_ transexual. At least when dressed up Miss Kitty or some such. Trans-species tran-sexuals...yet another oppressed minority!

True. That was my feeling too. Surprisingly normal, almost, compared to other events.

re: #69 mikalm

I think it has much more to do with the rise of cosplay/manga/anime.

Well, aside from that weird family, there were no politics. It was just people out having a party.

Even if some of them should have kept their shirts on, it pretty much felt like a barbeque and picnic.

I've met some transgenederd "women" who could have fooled anyone. NO masculine tells of any kind (besides a penis). They sounded like a woman, moved like a woman, and were naturally built like a woman thanks to hormones.
Why they even kissed like a.....ummm, so I hear..... :(

re: #76 zombie

That makes sense too.

Now does anyone want to tackle the question of why SM/BD has gotten so huge in the last 20-odd years?

Last week I saw a listing for a class on "Erotic face-slapping and body-punching." I almost went just to see how in the world slapping and punching someone could coneivably be perceived as erotic by the recipient.

Reminds me of the banned Shangri-Las song, "He Hit Me -- and It Felt Like a Kiss."

The more I think about furries, the more disturbed I am.

/shudder..

Furries, bd/sm or whatever are often just a means to get laid. If there were no societal restrictions, no cultural stigmas, most men would hump mud if it pushed back. It's all abut the O.

It makes them feel safe, less vulnerable, I guess.
