Androgynous / androgynous friendly gatherings....

[Katelyn]

Do androgynous people gather together?  (in the outside world) 

If or if not, what are androgynous friendly groups of people?  Thanks.

[caseyyy]

I've wondered this myself. I want more non-binary things.

I don't believe there are any groups that label themselves androgynous or meet with other like people in a group setting. For me being androgynous is liberating in that I can go to a certain gay bar and dance even though I'm not what a gay man would classify as gay, I can dance with cis, bi, gay, lesbian and transsexuals and hang with straights and be accepted by all as a nonthreatening, fun person without having to be put in someones mental classification box. I think that's the plus side of androgyny.

^ But you really couldn't do that anywhere.  Is the rule to be in liberal cities like SF and L.A. and anywhere else where you'd find more open minded people?

Absolutely, what the conservatives call the "Left Coast." There are more than a few GLBTI friendly clubs on Seattle's Capitol Hill! Coastal cities are generally more GLBTI friendly.

St.Cloud and Mpls. Transgender friendly. LGBT friendly.

It's MN, most people mind there own business.
The witch Bachmann has now become a laughing stock to the real people.
The bigots and bullies have gone back to their caves...

Blue Man Group?

Good point.  But I was focused on the asexual presentation.

After all, androgeny is a continuum that encompasses everything from the multi-gendered to the inter-gendered to the non-gendered.
What does it take to be a Blue Man?   Blue Man is an egoless, genderless being.  Male and female performers are encouraged to audition. - from a 2008 casting call


Beside that, they look very friendly. I saw a Blue Man troupe in Las Vegas once.  Wonderful show.

Blue clowns.
I hate clowns.
They are mime school washouts.
I don't like mimes.
None of them are really friendly, they are just giving you a false image.
Think about what would possess a person to do that.
Do they come from a lineage of people with an abundance of make up?
Did they just have some sort of breakdown that the DSM hasn't looked at?
Worse...Aliens?
Worse yet, when they go home is it to a family with to much make up on?
The potential for them to be scary is overwhelming...
And the little cars,...wtf?
I'm calling my therapist, now...

Except for the Charlie Chaplin impressionist that lives on my street. A bit of my heart leaps every time I see him walk down it in full slap.

[ativan]

Better follow, just to be sure....you never know what nefarious things he could be up to. Does he scare little kids? 
Does he meet up with more Charlies?
Or any other similar types of people?
Is he a possible alien?

And then there are ventriloquist dummies...

[BlueSloth]

I wonder if there's a Blue Sloth Group...

Wouldn't exactly be an exciting Las Vegas show.  More like a group meditation session.  Mmmmm, nice... :3

Clowns sort of creep me out too.



But not the Blue Men.

We saw Blue Man in Vegas on our honeymoon.  Somewhere I have a cellphone-in-mirror photo of one of their blue handprints on my bald head.  That stuff they wear is very, very wet.

We also saw Cirque du Soleil on that trip.  They are way scarier in the clown spectrum.  You have to remind yourself that they are real people and gravity still works.

I still kinda want to build crazy instruments from PVC pipe.

With your musical skills and a little blue latex, who knows ....?

At one point there were 3 Blue Man Groups, one in Vegas, one on tour in the US, and one on tour in Europe.  Best part of that get-up turned out to be that you could replace them without anyone knowing.
