Title: hiyas!
Post by: ambientdischord on February 27, 2008, 04:31:07 PM
So, I've been hanging out in the IRC chatroom for a while now, but I finally got onto the forums.  My name's Vivian, I'm a 21 y.o. genderqueer from Atlanta GA.  I'm in college studying sociology and gender and women's studies and making a buck here and there with my songs and jazz gigs.  I just began hormones last Friday and hope to get the SRS ASAP. 

So... uh... yeah!

Vivian:

Welcome and have fun.

So, music and sociology.  A useful combination.  Sociology allows you to figure out how society functions.  Music allows you to work with society.

Some powerful possibilities there.

don't forget the gender studies!  I plan on doing research to give us hard data on transgendered life.  I'm trying to get rid of the questions and speculation for us!

I consider gender studies to be a subset of sociology.  Though, since it combines psychology, sociology and a whole bunch of other things, adding in that does make a lot of sense.

I like the idea of getting rid of the questions and speculation behind GID issues.  It could feed into a large number of areas and demonstrate that gender is a series of spectrums.
