No, not my RL brother (which doesn't exist since I'm a single child), but my NS brother, when I read an issue I got (Should Democracy Be Compulsory?):

"This raises an interesting issue," says Sue-Ann Trax, your brother.

Isn't this nice. You just had to insult people, didn't you?

Grow up.

@@Randomname@@ isn't gender specific. Which produces some odd things now and again.

Max Barry won Miss Quaiffberg so don't think you are the only one with weird shit.

Heavenly is rather limited. Limits tend to make the sex not so heavenly. Abolish limits now.

What's the matter? You never heard of A Boy Named Sue (http://www.toptown.com/hp/66/sue.htm)?

Well, perhaps they should rather avoid gender-specific

@ others: It's called a *joke*, but you probably wouldn't notice it if it bit you in your ass :rolleyes:
No need to get that worked up about it :rolleyes:

darn you DCD I was just about to post that:p

anyway, I loved that song growing up, because my name is Joey. (it's not short for anything, it's just Joey)

and everyone used to make fun of me for having a "boy's name"

Did you have to kick everybody's ass because of it?

Did you have to kick everybody's ass because of it?
not really after the first 2 or 3 people were kinda scared of me.

anyway, now I have to deal with my 4 year olds friends (whom I can't beat up)

"Ms. Joey, are you a woman?"
"yeah"
"cuz you look like a mommy"
"I am a woman and a mommy"
"were you born with a penis?"
"nope."
" then why is your name Joey?"
"because it is"
"it's a boy's name"
"no it's my name, and I am a girl so it's a girl's name"
" but, it sounds like a boy's name"
" sometimes it's a boys name, but when it's my name that makes it a girl's name too, it's unisex"
"so you have a penis and a vagina?!"
"no, just the vagina"
"so you are a girl right?"
"yeah"
"then why is your name Joey?"
"why is your name Nathan?"
"because my parents named me that"
"ditto"
"what's ditto mean?"

the conversation is still going on, it's been 6 months, everytime I see him he just picks up where we left off, I really want to smack him sometimes. :mad:

Ummm... nowhere in Heavenly Sexes' post as far as I can tell is there anything that says that having a transvestite brother is a bad thing...

Jokes are normally funny.

Yes, not the pronoun, but a player with the unlikely name of Who.

His brother...

Ask yourself what it said before the edit. Then, learn to pay attention to details such as these. It'll save you a lot of grief and time on NS.

Of course you can beat up your 4 year old friends. They can't fight too well at that age.

Ahem. Isn't it just as possible that your sister is a transexual? :p

Makes sense to me - she turned to a he, and therefore your brother, but he kept his old name. For some reason. Um.

When I say it made sense... Look, a badger with a gun!

<runs while everyone's distracted>

sure but I bet they bite:eek:


anyway, I have started to figure out ways to distract him a little. It would help me out if my daughter was on my team but she seems to find the whole thing rather funny, and doesn't want to stop it for anything. :(

Maybe you can get him to call you Smunkee instead.

Maybe you can get him to call you Smunkee instead.
That would only confuse them even more.

everyone else does. I am going to start only speaking to that kid in pig latin until he gets frustrated and leaves me alone, although I tried that with my 2 year old today and it only took her 20 minutes to figure out what I was doing, she couldn't figure out how to speak it but could understand what I was saying LOL

probably. I don't think he is confused so much as he is a boy and wants to see if he can annoy me (nothing against boys but they all try to annoy me, even my husband :))

(pssst! that just means we all like you! :D it's a thing us males do to show affection :p. I'd better run before the guild of Y-chromosone owners get on to me for spilling our secrets...:eek: )

Try staring at him. Don't say anything, just stare with your eyes really, really wide open. And don't blink for as long as possible, and when you do have to blink, do it as slowly as possible. After awhile just slowly smile a really broad smile. And keep staring.

If not, resort to children's tactics. Start repeating everything he says, or pretend not to understand him. Be all "What? Pardon? Could you repeat that? Excuse me? Sorry, what was that? Did you say something to me?"

:D Yay!

Which part are you trying? Or are you doing both?

and everyone used to make fun of me for having a "boy's name"

smunkeeville, i herewith officially declare sympathy.

i don't seem to be as strong as you are.
well, okay, i never fooled myself to be anywhere in your league, strength-wise.
but yes, my parents made the huge mistake naming me (female) a name ending in "o". one that sounds disturbingly male, too, like, all harsh and all. though it technically *is* a very female name (greek muse of erotic poetry, cookie to the one figuring it out first).

anyhow, so everyone kept saying "oh, but isn't it a male name?" when i was young, and every damn letter i received from "official" places read "dear sir..", even my driver's license was issued with "male" first..

but the real awkward time was when i was in my teenage years, had really really short hair, started doing the lesbian thing in public and had my fair share of "so..hmm..i don't want to be indiscreet but..so..i mean..you..like..started out..as a boy, no?" and other stupid stuff.

anyhow, story ends with me doing a name change after becoming of legal age. and you can be damn sure my name now ends in "a".

please, folks, name your kids with gender specific names! anything else is not oh so creative and oh so individual, but just oh so bullshit.

:D Yay!

I am going to do the staring thing to him. I tried the question one on my husband earlier this weekend and it really annoyed him (which was fun! now I see why he likes to annoy me :D)

yeah, I had problems when I got pregnant with my first kid because the ins. didn't want to pay for a man to visit the obgyn. Almost all of my male says Mr.
even after I call many times to correct them, and this week I recieved my mailing labels that said Mr and Mrs. Joey (and my last name) I was so mad, they wanted me to pay to have it corrected, I refused.

I named my kids after Star Trek characters, but I think they ended up with okay names
Kathryn (4)
and
Annika (2)

except I can already see problems with Annika's name

"what's your name?"
"Annika"
"Monica?"
"AHHHNNNIIIIKKKAAA"
"Haunika??"
"call me Ani"
"Anakin?"
"NO!!!!! listen A-N-N-I-K-A"
"oh, wait Annika, like that golfer chick right?"
"no, Annika like 7 of 9 on star treks"
"what? oh like kirk?

at this point my 2 year old starts in crying, I suppose I should jump in earlier to help her, but I figure hey, she has to live with the name. (I really still like it);)

my parents made the huge mistake naming me (female) a name ending in "o". one that sounds disturbingly male, too, like, all harsh and all. though it technically *is* a very female name (greek muse of erotic poetry, cookie to the one figuring it out first).

Erato?

Erato?

Ooo... can that be right? Cos replacing the 'o' with an 'a' (as SoWiBi says she did) makes it 'Erata' - error, mistake in latin! :(

Papa?
er...um....mama?
