One I literally just got:

"Wait, you're LGBT? But you listen to metal?"

I'm sorry, what did you expect me to listen to? RuPaul? Boy George? You know Rob Halford of Judas Priest is gay, right? *slams face into desk so hard the desk breaks*

Some of my favorites:
"Do you still play guitar then?"
"Will you still jam with me?"
"Can you still fix my guitar?"

Trust me- nothing is more metal than being trans. \m/

Amen to that, sister! People seem to think transwomen don't have their own "metal girls" subtype like ciswomen do. Ohhhh yes we doooooooo!
To strive to reach the apex of evolution is folly, for to achieve the pinnacle is to birth a god.

Some of my other faves:

Wife's drunken co-worker: "So those are like implants?"
Me: "No, how about yours? Awk-ward..."

Him: "Did you like just wake up one day and suddenly just need to be a woman?"
Me: "No, I always kinda knew."
Him: "That's a relief.  I was afraid it could happen to me someday."
Me: "I have girl cooties.  I could be contagious..."

Jill thanks for cracking me up.....
From a good friend yesterday and I love her.. actually my first girlfriend from High School.. she asked.. do you have any regrets?  I had to sit there for a second and think about it and I did the logical thing.. thought what it was like to not be myself and said, no I have no regrets at all.. and she said.. Thats awesome!!
She is a big support for me..

I had someone ask me the other day I'd my breast implants were real... 

I didn't know if it was a trick question or not so I just answered yes.

Yeah. I'd hate to have FAKE breast implants.

See? Being trans is totally metal.

It's also new wave, classical, and bubble-goth.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

Is it trance, ambient, trip-hop or acid jazz?

Maybe it's more like prog metal?  Yes, that's it, prog metal. 

Someone did ask me this:

Ex-bandmate: "Do you still listen to metal, or are you into girly stuff now?"
Me: "Girly stuff like thrash or girly stuff like Sabbath?"

"How do you have sex?"  Unless you intend to take me to dinner and a movie, none of your damn business.

Hahaha. That is unreal. I can't believe some of the questions asked. I'm sorry you have had to hear that.
