I&#8217;ve traveled enough to know that baggage around people&#8217;s accents or languages is mostly silly. But her accent makes her sound so competent. It was like ebing told by the BBC to remain calm and carry on.  Ok, I can do that.<br \/>\nUm, on other news, I think that I&#8217;m going back to injecting once every 3 weeks, as this last week has been crap.  Also, I&#8217;m kind of tired of being tranzilla.  I&#8217;m like super trannie. I go to trans bars. I go to trans community events. I talk to gender queer people. I worry about injections. It&#8217;s all trans all the time.  If I were just coming out as gay, I would be wearing rainbow-striped jumpers at this point, with this level of involvement.<br \/>\nSo, um, other things. I&#8217;m writing music with samples of a trans rights rally I went to. . ..  And I decided that what it needed was a good bassline.  And the way to make a good bass line is to analyze tuning ratios and figure out what&#8217;s consonant in an arbitrary scale and then do stepwise motion around consonant pitches.  Samples will be forthcoming in a future post.<br \/>\n<a name = \"disclaim\">(Please note<\/a> that I am not referencing any real people in this post aside from myself and my shrink.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What would I say in a personal ad?
