Fallacy where I least expect it?

[sistawendy]

I was bemoaning my recent lack of success in dating to Nibs the other night when she said, "It's only been a few months."

No. No, it hasn't. I've been at it ever since shortly after Full Time.* Tell me she doesn't subscribe to the common misconception that trans womanhood begins at surgery.


*2100 PST on Dec. 10th, 2010. A date which shall live in infamy. My rebirthday.

Hrm. I might make it to the n00b potluck, but I have plans for both tonight and the 5th.

I'm well aware of the zen of dating. All of my good things happened when I wasn't looking for them. It's been a long dry spell for me - crazy long.

she may be looking at the time since the physical separation, which is neither of these things. Until that time there was a lot more focus on trying to make things work for both of you, and a lot less time focused on dating. And really, that hasn't been a great many months since you moved out and started talking about divorce vs separation.

This was basically what I was going to come here to say. Plus, you (Maura) have mentioned here how cis lesbians generally aren't interested in pre-op trans women - could you have shared the same sentiments with her?

(Unrelatedly, there's something amiss with comments showing up in your journal - I had to switch my settings to view them in my style or they don't appear when I click through to the post.)

I'm sure I did mention the liability of having a dick when you're a chick. I don't get much attention from cis lesbians now either, though.

And damned if LJ didn't break my style again. I was hoping it was just me or an LJ hiccup. Arg!

So of course I can see comments now.

Wait. No, I can't, unless I use the reply link from an email.

Fixed! Damn Russians.

I'm tempted to say something like, "let her have her illusions as long add they aren't hurting anything." So I will.
