What is your least-liked aspect of your most favorite RPG? What is the most redeeming feature of your least liked RPG? For for the former, I'm not fond of D&D's alignment system. The latter, I at least think that CthulhuTech had some minable ideas for cyberpunk/mecha stuff.

I really dislike the way magic is implemented in D&D 3.5/Pathfinder, as a rule. It's still my favorite system overall, but nothing magical ever feels quite right. I very much don't care for Shadowrun, but I do love the setting CONCEPT.

Who's life would you rather have? Amy Lee or Tuomas's?

over 1 year ago

Amy's. Tuomas's life hasn't been much fun. I connect deeply with him based on his music, but it's clear he's suffered a lot.Amy, I truly believe, is a happy person today because of her ability to channel her past suffering into her music.

Blue pill or red pill?

over 1 year ago

I take both! The red pill is spironolactone, and it prevents my body from binding testosterone to receptors. I presume this is what the "red pill movement" is referring to. The blue pill is estradiol, and it causes me to develop breasts and have more feelings. The fact that Neo didn't take the blue one as well as the red one is why he is mopey throughout the movie.

Oh man, there's a few of these. Probably the worst was when I was lecturing about Mortal Kombat to my students and I was actually talking about Street Fighter.

How are you such a cutie? ;)

25 years of self-effacing and silencing. 25 years of being somebody nobody, not even me, wanted. 25 years of cute, hiding deep within. Caress the one, the hiding amaranth

Why do you love spiders so much?

over 1 year ago

Basically, the spider thing started because I wanted to emphasize the way in which my transgender identity creeps people out, but there's real beauty underneath. I think spiders are like me - scary, but beautiful.

How do you get a job in post secondary academics? What qualifications do you need? I am a high school teacher but the trans thing is going to be a problem.

over 1 year ago

Well, a higher degree is pretty much essential. I am not going to lie, the job market is not great in academia and it depends directly on your degree. I'd be happy to talk with you about your individual case.

What is your opinion on transgender MMA athlete Fallon Fox?

She's in a field that I know little about but I'm glad she's providing the visibility, and she's putting up with a heck of a lot of crap.

What's the worst movie ever?

over 1 year ago

Hasn't been made yet. It will be called "Courageous Vindication" and it will be a biopic of the robot rights movement about a heroic human who saves robots and learns to overcome prejudice. It will lead to a human actor winning an Oscar for playing a robot, when plenty of robots could have done a better job.
