I've always gone with the pronoun that the poster has wanted to be known as, so giving me a choice is a bit of a conundrum. I've known you longer as female Kannap, but I am quite happy to accept you as the gender you wish to be referred to as. If you equally prefer both, then I'll pick the one that I feel most fits your current demeanour.

Can't be simple, can ya? ;)


If you knew me longer as female and it's more comfortable for you to keep referring to me as such, feel free.

I can get use to male Kannap. I think people are more jarred by my return after a lengthy absence and then becoming Marisa almost overnight and become a her instead of him. It's like Nebraska has suddenly sprouted mountains nearly 3 miles high.

No, not really. Whatever makes you happy is fine.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

As I said, what makes me comfortable is what makes you most comfortable. Generally the approach I've always taken. :)


Eh, go ahead and use female pronouns. I'd say I'm like 55%/45% leaning towards the female pronouns.

I'm even shocked how fast I came to my conclusion given a lengthy history of indecisiveness led me into the anxiety muddled path.

Well, I was only sorta-NS-married to the female Kannap. I never signed up for the male one, but hey, that's a technicality on a technicality, right there.

You don't need to worry about not being accepted, here. Maybe you just came to a sudden realisation. I was unsure about my bisexuality for a long time, until I gave up trying to understand it.

Small person, small person, spin spin spin~!

And it's not so weird. My "preferred" wobbles between "she" and "they", I've just not found it too feasible to ask people to change from week to week and I'm sure I'm a special enough snowflake already.

No, not really. Whatever makes you happy is fine.

I am probably the most jarred though as I haven't gotten used to my new pronouns to the point I have drifted into Al Gore Bob Dole speak as a substitute replace many pronouns with Marisa.

I don't worry about you as much as my third person reference almost resembling Bob Dole.

Indeed, I have to start my money saving plan. 25% for retirement, 50% for the transformation, and the other 25% to live on if I stay home.
