I live in a rather liberal and urban area. Plenty of gay owned businesses.

Gotcha, ok

Interestingly enough, whenever I see anyone significantly taller than me (so, like, 6'4" and up), I feel threatened for pretty much no reason at all, and get somewhat territorial and try to make myself seem taller by straightening my back as much as I can.

It must be the man in me.

I try to make myself appear shorter as to not intimidate with the height/weight combo I hold. 6'1" and 225 pounds is pretty much a very large individual even if I look about 20 pounds lighter.

Yeah.... It's been a looong time since I weighed myself, but I would guess I'm around 170 lbs....

I'm probably the heaviest of our trans population on NSG by a fairly significant margin. Probably safe to say I could shed another 30 to 45 pounds, but hormones would have to carry me the rest of the way.

Yep. LGBT conservatives and libertarians in my area have not stood by and let the religious conservatives take over the GOP. Like the UK, they got elected to party positions.

That's good to hear, I have to say I hope that trend continues. We need fresh people in that party. We need fresh people in general.

I'm a socialist so even if I wanted to run for elected office, it most likely won't be on the GOP ticket.

Perhaps a future GOP candidate can be you.

Oh c'mon! You fit right in!

oh, wait..

No, but seriously I wouldn't be any good at that. You on the other hand, you seem like you could advance your causes pretty well.

I'm much far too much to the left to be electable.

Perhaps, most likely so in most regions of the US. But there's always a chance. Optimism is key.

I can't even talk to other guys, so I don't think I'm electable because I stink at public speaking. Nah, I'm more of a behind the scenes guy.

I have the exact same reasoning, which is why I resort to battling it out on political forums. Meanwhile IRL I tend to be quiet and avoid conflict. Not to say I'm not social, just rather reserved.

I'm an introvert and proud of it.

Same here, for the most part.

Same here. I'm the guy that goes to the bar, "stare rapes" the twinks, gets drunk as he'll because he will never have the self-confidence to talk to any and then goes home.

Everyone here's a introvert except me.

Like why.

Well nothing wrong with going to a bar and getting drunk...
but...
you may want to get that stare raping under control :roll:

Bullshit. I'm looking. If spend the rest of my life single, I'm going to stare, especially at the gay bar.

Haha, I'm just joshing. If we're being honest I find myself making extremely awkward eye contact, after staring, multiple times a day, everyday.

Anyway, back to Zoey Tur and Twinkie. I'm glad she told him off and stood up for herself.

"Twinkie". :lol:

Though I mean, twinks are one of my types, too, so I can't complain.

I'm 120 lbs.

When necessary, I fight with condescension and bitter dryness, since I'm not big enough to get physical.

Holy shit.

I should note, though, that I'm pretty dang skinny. Most of my weight comes from the fact that I'm tall and have big bones.
