flamingsword: “in my defense, I was left unsupervised” (rainbow)
[personal profile] flamingsword
Today I've been doing a test sheet for the salt-dye technique to make a rainbow (for CMA!!), and thinking about my life's high incidence of gender & sexuality stereotype-noncompliant people. Do I actually have a higher index, or do I just notice more than other people do? Do I bring up subjects that make people feel like they're safely more normal than I am so that they can't be judged? Is there some quality that I have that eases the minds of people who dislike the role they're supposed to play?

I need outside perspective on this one. Please comment.

Consonance and Resonance

YOu attract gender dysphoric people.

We areall vibration. So, in some sense, we are sound made manifest. This means that acoustic phenomena can explain some of what we do.

Waves that are harmonious are called consonant. (the opposite of dissonant) Consonant waves tend to move toward each other and complement each other because they have frequencies in common or a multiple of each other. So you will tend to attract people like you.

This is done through REsonance, an acoustic effect where certain environments are tuned to enhance certain waves. This also strengthens the waves.

It's all about you, in other words.

Also, you're a freak magnet. ;-)

I met you at Samhaine with all the other freaks...so it might be who you hang out with and where you hang out.

And we will be singing at CMA right? ;)

Oh hell yes. I've been practicing a bit as well, so it should be reasonably good, too.

So um what will we be singing or will it just be off the cuff? :)

You go for the hard questions, don't you? Um. What artists do you listen to that have songs that can be sung with little accompaniment?

Yeah.

For example, where I work, I'm not out to many people simply because I know they've got issues and judgementalism and stuff like that. It's like a vibe. I never thought you'd be put off by my queerness and polyness and such, and you aren't. Granted, it may not make for certain kinds of compatibility, but there is just, as Eliza Doolittle once said, a sort of "warm and friendly-like" feel with you and things that are not of the norm. Just is.

I'm just replying here to your last comment in Sam's journal because I think poor Sam has probably had enough of me. :)

I've friended you back, which is not something I usually do very quickly when I meet people, but I really like you. Thanks for listening, I don't usually talk like that to everyone. And same here, if you ever need to dump, I'm an excellent listener.

As for your friend and disowning, yes, sometimes that does happen, that the familiy doesn't care. My father's American, as white as white can get, but he never really had an active role in my upbringing and everything was left to my mother, who raised me as she knew best, the only way she knew, the ways she was born into. And I know she would, I know she wouldn't talk to me again, but every family's different, as is the case with your Indian/Iranian friend.

Actually, I think that nobody is sexually "normal"...

I think you make peeps feel comfortable enough to show that.. : D
