Title: Headcount!
Post by: no_id on August 11, 2007, 04:57:18 PM
Ladimen and Gentlies, it is time for a HEADCOUNT since I am curious about the number of the lovely brains in our little group.

... However, let's take a closer look at the analogy first:
If binary was a soccerfield and non-binary the sky above it then where would you be in the Gender stadium?

It seemed like an interesting way to take a closer look at our diversity. After all you can take this analogy in a many different way[...] I personally enjoy viewing it as following:

I see the soccer field divided in two halves; male/female, and everyone's playing a different position (after all, you can run around the field however you like). Thus, I guess an attacker could be a feminist, and an attacking/defending midfielder could be a bigenderist, fluid androgyne, genderf*** (if they're not running around the lockerrooms with TV and CD to steal everyone's clothes), or an intergendered individual while I assume a TS or CIS would be a defender/goalie...

At the same time I can see an SO walking around like a mascot, someone standing in the audience selling hotdogs (for some reason I keep thinking that's Pica), and I can imagine Emerald sitting on a pink, fluffy cloud in the sky, waving a Gender Transcedentalist flag (home-designed of course)....

As for myself; I'd probably be in a backroom watching the game on the tele or asking whether people would like some mayo or ketchup with their hotdog.... (My life's goal revealed!)  ;)


Ya'll know we seriously needed an unserious thread to have some space for interaction 8)

I'd be sitting at the back of the highest section of the stands, munching a hotdog, watching the flow of the game, not really caring which side wins as long as people are playing whatever position they're comfortable in.

Then during half-time I'd be looking up at the sky wondering if one day we'll all grow wings.

I'd be afloatin' in the sky for I have no purpose nor desire to interact with mere groundlings. [sneer]

And if I saw anyone cheatin', I'd pour a mighty stream down upon their head.   oof


actually, I have no idea of what I'd be doing up there.  I just feel tired of trying to fit in as a person.   :'(

I guess I'd be running around the field without a clue which team I'm playing on and probably just be scoring goals at the closest goal to where I am at the time no matter which team's goal it was.

Hows that for the bigender answer.

Oddly enough, that's my view on being in a war.  Fight for whoever is closest to me.  Hmmmmm.

Sports stadium?? LOL I don't do sports, so I'd be flying in the sky in multi colored rainbows, or possibly reverting to childhood flashbacks where I was always the last person chosen for the team and either sitting on the bench or out in outer outermost left field writing a song or poem ;D

I'd be the person who streaks across the field and up and down the seats in the stadium, clearly displayed in all my glory on the giant tv thing and succeeding in my mad evasion of the security guards!

Before I read the posts I voted and planned myself as someone in the stands getting caught up in the game and cheering, but I do like getting lost in a crowd...

But I´ve warmed to Noid´s original idea, as long as I can sell candy floss instead.

I would be in the announcer's booth watching the game, checking stats, play by play, instant replay, and highlights.

Seriously though, somehow; letting Androgynes invade the Gender Stadium does seem to insert quite a dose of chaos (250mg or so). I wonder what kind of seats we'd get......  8)

True, true, but the managers kept reminding me that we had some sort of discrimination policy.. Whatever that's supposed to mean... 8) :P

I think that means we're supposed to let straight people in too, that is if they dare enter with all the pandemonium going on  :police:

Well, I would love to stay here in the stadium, but I really must pack for my trip to the TG island :D

I'm pretty sure we can reserve a special box for all the straight people and select them on their eyecolour, hair colour and sex. Now we wouldn't want too much diversity; then we might torch the wrong individuals with our flaming arrows (I stacked some in the lockerrooms just to be sure)...

TG island sounds pretty cool too unless my bed is on top of a palm tree again....

I just like observing, stats, and history. Cant control anything from announcer booth. Thats the managers' job.

By the way:

QuoteOn the soccerfield  4 (33.3%)
Floating in the sky  4 (33.3%)
Other (feel free to elaborate)  4 (33.3%)

Total Voters: 12

How's that for diversity?  8)

I'd be in the pub next door, having a pint of the local ale and watching sumo wrestling on the telly. I never quite got the hang of the game (either football or gender binary), although if others want to play it I'm quite willing to wish them good luck.

Since the game is gender (the battle of the sexes, I suppose), I think I would like to be one of the cheerleaders.  Of course I'd need to be dressed in one of those cute outfits.   ;D

I'd be the ball.

In the end, nobody would really care or pay any attention to me.  But the whole time, I'd be making the most important contribution to the game.

I think I would be in the band during the halftime show. During the game, I'd be sitting around pretending to care, but really I'd be waiting for Pica to walk by with the candy floss.  ;)

Going up and downstairs up in the rafters selling lemonade spiked with the little airplane bottles of vodka you get for a dollar at the Korean store, to try and get enough ahead to scuffle by.

I would be the over-fed pidgeon dive-bombing all the players on the field. The higher one is in the stands, the safer they are.  There is no truth to the rumor that everyone on the top 10 rows keeps feeding me hot dogs and floss...well, maybe it's true...a little.

Actually, the way this past week has been, I'm the fire hydrant behind the goal, right in the middle of the "Doggie Day Care" section.
