Only Straddler In The Village 12 years, 5 months ago
You guuuuuuys. I have feelings.
It’s the feeling of “I’m 24 and I’ve never dated because I’ve only been out for less than a year and now I’m in the Philippines in the Peace Corps and EVEN IF I defied all odds and met another gay/bi girl who was patient enough to deal with all my personality quirks, I’d get to see her like MAYBE once a month and…[Read more]

oh man. I just want to give you a really long hug…
first of all, congratulations on coming out! also, it’s not bad to never have dated at 24. or 26. don’t beat yourself up for that. I bet you are a really awesome person doing awesome and interesting things. peace corpse! FTW!
the worst part should not be the “I’ve never dated”-part, but the…[Read more]-
Aw, thanks. A really long hug is pretty much what I need, but sympathetic ears are just as good. It’s not all bad, but there are days when the loneliness and the feelings of being against-the-odds just wear you down. But that’s all Peace Corps, I think, not just Gay Peace Corps.

Yup, one of my friends is a straight dude and the other one is a straight chick. I tend to check out girls with the dude, because um, the straight chick just doesn’t get it. And she can’t relate *at all*. Irritating! But yeah, I live in straightsville too. All the girls I think are cute want to flirt with my cute male friend. Argh.
I’ve never…[Read more]

Tumblr. Mostly I do Tumblr.
Well, and I do talk about/check out girls with the straight guy friend, but it lost some of the luster recently he actually started having success with one of them. Lotta flirting going on, which is great and I’m happy for him, but it kind of drove home the fact that I can’t do that, you know? I’m really jealous that…[Read more]

While I do know one other lesbian in town, I’m pretty sure she doesn’t read Autostraddle. But she should!
I live in northern Illinois, not quite close enough to Madison, Chicago, Milwaukee, or any other large city. And it sorta sucks.

Joining this group as I will very soon be the only Straddler in the Village. In a week I’ll be moving back to Central California Fresno Area. Which, for those that are not savvy to California but know their Glee, is that area Chris Colfer is from. That area he doesn’t say kind things about due to the super conservative-gender rigid nature of the…[Read more]

I’m sorry. I’ve been to that area (one of my stepsisters lives around there, my mom lives in the mountains north of there) and… yeah, it’s not the kindest place to GSMs (gender & sexuality minorities). There might be some resources around now, though? Some places will surprise you–the culture of an area can vary widely over the years, and it’s…[Read more]

East Central Illinois, here. Plenty of cornfields, but that’s about it. I’m so jealous of all the Chicago straddlers.
-
Me too.
-
I second that. I am from east central too!
-
Yay, someone else from East Central! I don’t feel quite as isolated, then. Hope you’re doing okay after these crazy storms we just had. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many tornado warnings all at one time!

I leave Australia for Denmark in about two months. Danish straddlers? Anyone?
-
close, but not quite there… :(
-
And my middle name is also Maria ;) I am living on the Jutland peninsula, so you might be the closest Straddler to me!
-
if you’re middle name is Maria, then this must be fate. ;) Femme-meetup somewhere in the middle? But seriously, there should be more people from Denmark here…
-
I would seriously be up for that :D I do not know much about the trains yet, but it is pretty easy for me to get to Hamburg. And yes, I am really surprised there are no Danes! Or anyone from the Scandinavian countries, now that I think about it.
-
Ziggy is from Iceland! ;) Seriously though, there should be some Scandinavians here. I don’t understand it either.
Train tickets in Germany are ridiculously expensive, but I would be up for a “date” in Hamburg, too. :) Are you that close to the german border?
You would be the first AS reader I get to meet, how exciting! :)
-
Hamburg FTW! I’m happy to see that there are more ‘hamburger’ (that does sound weird in english:D) on here!

Yes! Danish straddler right here! :D *waving*
-
Really? REALLY? This makes me so happy! :D
-
yes! Me too! haven’t met any other danes in here yet, though.. but yay! I live in odense btw.. :) you speak danish?
