Jersey Straddle 11 years, 8 months agoSo where, exactly, are you, Jersey Straddlers?
I’m in Flemington. It’s boring and in the middle of nothing and nowhere. Yay!-
I’m in Frenchtown! Sadly, we are in the middle of the lesbian Bermuda Triangle..But New Hope/Lambertville doesn’t suck.
-
Hahaha the Lesbian Bermuda Triangle… I love it!
I’m newly out-ish (bi & have only dated guys) and am too chicken to venture to such places. & have no gay friends to go with me.
Hence… I am on Autostraddle. :)
-
We all had to start somewhere..Autostraddle is a great beginning! Why be chicken? You gotta get out to be “out”!
-
I’m going to be blonde [I am not actually blonde] and ask what are the best hangouts in NewHope/Lambertville?
-
I’m a fan of Triumph Brewery New Hope. They do a lot of live music and frequently offer a “ladies Night” w a featured performer

@katekate – Soooo..You had to go to the other side of the planet to “chat” with two chicks in your own backyard..That is too freaking funny! Thanks for supporting GSE! We can always use the help! Baby steps I suppose..What’s on the other side of the planet?

Genderstraddlers 11 years, 8 months agoI think I’m going to post this question in a few groups to try to maximize advice… Please comment if you have any thoughts!
I’m a queer cis femme college grad who just started seeing a female-bodied genderqueer person who goes by the pronouns they/their/them. I’m doing my best to get used to using these pronouns, which I consistently do when…[Read more]
-
Well, as someone who is only out to some people as trans, I ask people when I tell them about me to continue using my old name and pronouns in public. My guess then for you would to be continuing using female pronouns until you’re able to talk with them about it.
-
Nikki, thank you for your advice! I thought I had responded but apparently not–sorry! See my response to smartypants below if you’re interested in how things turned out… thanks again for your input.

I maybe a little late to this party but wanted to lend some support–and also, applaud both your sensitivity and sense of politeness. I’m a big fan of being polite! Perhaps since your original comment was about a month ago, you’d be willing to let us know how it evolved for you?–what did you decide? How did you choose to negotiate this?–hope all is well.
-
Hey! Sorry for the slow response… saw this at work last week and didn’t get to reply. I ended up finally talking to the person about the pronoun question a couple weeks ago. They told me that they prefer for me/people to use their pronouns (they/their) in the company of others, since using she/her can create an uncomfortable disconnect on the…[Read more]

Well done Lindsay for having that conversation with your friend–and if I remember correctly, a romantic friend, n’est ce pas? In which case, I hope it’s going well…..
W/r/t friends who keep blowing it with the pronouns–I think calling on it “in the moment” (no Italics!) is probs the way I would go. Like small children and puppies, training…[Read more]

Sapphic Stripper posted an update in the group
Hey, friends –
I’m currently writing a novel and memoir of sorts, that stems from my experiences as a stripper. I just read Female Chauvinist Pigs by Ariel Levy, thinking it would be inspiring and help bolster my arguments for all the fantasticness about my job that I love, and all it did was get me down. Can anyone point me in some sex-positive…[Read more]-
Hey there – I know you posted a while ago, but i just joined the group! Look up “Yes Means Yes! Visions of Female Sexual Power & A World Without Rape” — by Jaclyn Friedman & Jessica Valenti (also check out “The Purity Myth” by Valenti). Yes Means Yes is broken up into a bunch of different essays on various topics, so you should be able to find…[Read more]

Yay! I’m glad you think so. It’s been a little quiet ’round these parts of late- if I ever get out from under this pile of uni work I might actually get around to posting something again. You should of course feel free to post about anything gender-related that piques your interest :)
Also, welcome to Autostraddle!
