I don't work in IT, nor do I draw comics - can I really be trans?!

OK, I did draw comics up to when I was 11 or so, but miserable circumstances intervened and kind of put a stop to that.

I do also know how to turn a computer off and on again, but I've no idea about programming or stuff like that.

I do like Doctor Who, but find most sci fi a bit yeah, well.

So, gosh, really.......Did I just get here by accident?

Lol - I was having my doubts until you confessed to loving Dr who - that nailed it! Yep you're trans!

(Actually more seriously, in the late 1980's I worked on the show. You'd be amazed how many of the fan base back then were lesbian Gay Bi or trans.)

PS its in my username of course - I'm Jenny now - I was James as an infant - I became Jenny as a child - as a teen I briefly became James again, and then I was finally and medically RE-Jenny-Rated in my twenties! lol

I love the Dr., have had programming courses and can draw so I guess I'm in. I'm also left handed.

ROFL - well since you ask I've had three - the first for 5 years the second for 25 years - and now I'm on the cusp of getting engaged to a lovely girl called Susan (whom I originally met via this very forum) and who is almost young enough to be my Grand-daughter (coming up 21). So I guess so lol

Not sure about left-handedness......one of my brothers is left-handed, does that count?

Jenny - all the very best with your new "companion" (!?!)  :D

heheheheh :~)

Well, pretty much no trans stereotypes fit me. Sometimes I am even told that I am 'not a real trans person' because I have such unconventional views.

Well, I blow a massive raspberry in the direction of those people. No single one of us is an authority on what 'being trans is'. We are all learning.

Well I have three computers, taken up drawing as a hobby and can't stand Dr Who!

But I do have a friend who called his latest all terrain vehicle a trans-ground-vehicle, a TG-V, as he gave me the keys to try it out. Weeeeee

This made me laugh. I have never been good at art, I know enough to be dangerous with computers but not IT, have never seen Dr. Who and I like sports. I'm such a faker I guess.

I used to be quite artistic, haven't tried very much in years though aside from some basic craftiness and pumpkin carving.  Drawing, Painting, Origami, Crocheting, etc....  I'm a Star Trek Fan and I've always wanted to get into Dr. Who, but haven't taken the time yet.  :P  I also work in IT Support, lol.

I've never really been into watching the doctor, I don't have TV though... I like Firefly, does that count?

I think for certain we can say without doubt that you trans-portable, trans-gressable, trans-cendable, trans-mutatable, trans-sulvaniaish, trans-ocenaic . . . Sooo, I'm guessing you are just

trans-*

That about covers it!

Sounds like a good multi-vote poll.  Are you
- interested or work in the space industry
- interested in science fiction
- interested or work with comics
- interested in fantasy
- able to get a job in the computer/IT industry
- artistic
- left handed

There are probably other great items to be added.  It's interesting to think we may have so many interests in common.  I hadn't really thought about it before. 
Personally I'm an aerospace engineer that works in the computer industry with a masters of arts in computer graphics.  I'm not left handed though.  Hopefully that doesn't disqualify me.
