@creasepieces, re: pronunciation
creasepieces answered your question: A gender-neutral title: M, or Misc.
I like Misc, but I wonder how you’d pronounce it. With the C? It’s a silent letter in the word, but without it Misc would sound like Miss.
Also a good point. At some points in my life I must’ve said the abbreviation aloud, because in my experience it’s pronounced “misk” as you describe, even though...

@SongoftheNorth, re: Monsieur
Not sure how to reply to replies! But:
songofthenorth answered your question: A gender-neutral title: M, or Misc.
Whilst I like your thinking (especially your attention to etymology), does the fact that M. is the common shortened form of Monsieur matter?
In a way, because it does add a masculine feeling in the mind of anyone who’s familiar with the French language. If that worries...

A gender-neutral title: Misc.
Hello all, :)
So, as part of my gender-weirdness, I’ve been trying to accumulate labels and language to help other people deal with my gender being completely unrecognised in society.
You may have seen a few weeks back my description of conversations I had with the Identity and Passport Service (IPS) and Deed Poll (UK) about a gender-neutral title. In a nutshell, Deed Poll said I could...

Scrabble but Not
This evening, me and my mum and my brother played a version of Scrabble in which you can play any word as long as you can think of a good enough definition.
Sumogoz: Formal wear for sumo wrestlers.
Bwooga: Klaxon sound. Disbwooga: To turn off the klaxon.
Llanais: Sauce made in famous Welsh-French city of same name.
Qaik: Eastern European confection.
Gloo: Like glue, but not as good. Glood:...
Werewolf
Being trans feels, to me, right now, like being a werewolf.
The moon is big and bright and shining through my curtains. I can feel my fingernails growing, almost, as if to make removing this false skin easier. The difference between who I know I am and what my body thinks I am is so marked that my bones will soon start to crack and stretch by force of will. Inside, all I can hear is a shriek...

For those of you who are into my webcomic, it now has its own domain and a sensible webcomic-style navigation thingy including my favourite part, the random button! I’m hoping to get another comic done tonight to “christen” it, but anyway.
If you fancy being lovely, please reblog to help spread the world!...

Stop using the word “slut” to insult girls. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having sex with whoever you want, whenever you want, as long as you want it. Don’t be afraid of your sexuality.
Stop teaching girls “how to not get raped” and instead teach boys how to not be…
Seriously. I’ve seen some nasty responses to this list and that...

Calling my brother about his birthday
Me: So, what do you want for your birthday?
Him: I don't know, nothing, really.
Me: I want to get you something you'll like! If you were in Swansea with £30 what would you buy for yourself?
Him: Ummm... a Milky Way?
FTA rage!
I am not sleeping well, and I’m feeling sad and angry, because there’s nowhere for me in the world! Melodramatic, I know. There are no pronouns that fit, and every organisation tells me I have to be a Mr or a Ms. My friends are being amazing with my new name especially, and they’re doing well with the pronoun thing too. But everything else really sucks.
Are any of you gender...
Hurrah! Banner is displaying :)
Thank you for your help, lovely people!
Now for the scary bit. Which do you prefer?
The wordpress webcomic?
Or the site I made?
They’ll have the same content, so it’s just your views on appearance and layout and stuff I’m curious about here. :) Please be super-honest; I doubt my website-building skillz somewhat, so I can take it!
ETA: Votes so far! Thanks creasepieces!

Okay, how about now? →
It’s a potential new webcomic site, since I’m fed up of Wordpress. There was a problem with the title banner at the top not showing earlier; is it there, lovely Tumblr people?
What does anyone think? How does it look in your... →
kesamama asked: Yay! I'm glad you enjoy the oddity that is my Tumblr! XD
I think it's a strip that celebrates things that aren't "traditional" in personal relationships - being able to do that *and* make people laugh is a great thing, I don't think people will be too picky about the title :)

kesamama asked: I think it's okay that the comic isn't only about poly relationships, it makes for a pithy title but I think creative freedom is more important than strictly following the title (mostly because I got such a huge kick out of transgingered XD). That's really all I wanted to say . . . Hi, I'm Kelly (or Kesa) >.<

Beth: Ben, why did nobody tell lady gaga that it's stupid to wear a phone on your head?
Ben: Beth. Because lady gaga never listens to my advice.I tried to phone her, and let her know, but she asked me to stop calling, stop calling, and that she didnt wanna think any more
Beth: i really love you

fuckingickyricky asked: Que Hermionie Granger.
creasepieces asked: No problem. :) There are free comic hosting sites out there as well, like Smackjeeves and Comic Genesis. They can be good to start with since you don't have to pay for anything and it gets you right in the middle of the comic community.
creasepieces asked: RE: Paying for a Wordpress site - I use Project Wonderful, and the revenue I get from their adspace pays for my hosting costs. I use Wordpress for my own comic site; if you think you have enough views for it to be worth it, I say go for it!
fuckingickyricky asked: Ohhh, stopp. People will think i'm an owl.
fuckingickyricky asked: I think for now you should work on your fan base. Now I don't know anything about anything but all webcomic writers love having their own tiny bit of space on other webcomics. E.g: Hyperboleandahalf has the 'Things that make me laugh or think or both' section. Stuff like that. If you can get your stuff out there, generate a fan base you can start with the website etc. etc.
fuckingickyricky asked: I'm pretty sure if you get enough traffic going on your wordpress you get get a google sponsorship + ads?
fuckingickyricky asked: Hmmm. Not sure. I'm no good at this kind of thing. It's all really very funny though.
