Heehee. Latest Facebook status update for kicks:

"Finding out gradually that people seem to be a little confused about my sexual orientation. Apparently there is the misconception that I am bisexual/lesbian when I'm and always have been straight. So, in an effort to be more clear about my preferences, my profile has been updates to clearly indicate that I am gay; that I am a Male interested in Men. Hopefully this should remedy any confusion I may cause."

Really now. People can be so incredibly presumptuous of things like this. Why on earth would anybody think I have any interest in women? I've already got a female body that I have plenty of self-loathing for, so it doesn't really interest me. Now, that's not to say that I'm not open to the possibility that I might be interested in one particular woman at a later date, I just haven't found anyone of the female gender that genuinely attracts me in that way.

I'm kind of a gender-ambiguous, gender-confortable person. I read Misfile and El Goonish Shive and I adore Host Club, all comics & anime that make fun of gender differences and/or smooth the lines between. I've joked about a sex change in the past and I don't think it would be an unreal consideration for me or anyone. The idea just doesn't bother me as much as it apparently does other people, because I'm all for gender equality and I don't have any illusions about one being superior to another, or being better suited for a particular job. Note that I said equality, not male-subservient-bitch-feminist bullshit.

Besides, I'm waiting for the right guy. My goal in life is not to date as many guys as possible, because frankly that's just stupid. I don't rate myself on the number of boyfriends I've had, in fact I wish that number was much smaller to weed out the soul-crushing assholes in my life. I don't go to bars and collect numbers or go home with drunk strangers that might potentially have a clever-enough pickup line that catches my attention. I sit, wait, and observe.

The biggest attraction for me is personality, with the second being a clearly defined concern for others. For personality, they have to be clever and able to laugh at themselves in all aspects of their life. For concern, it can't be some thinly-veiled 'you-help-my-best-friend-so-she'll-tell-me-how-great-you-are' that my stalker-ex is so incredibly famous for. It has to be real and believable and consistent. Help some old lady with her bags, not because some girl is watching, but because it's the kind thing to do.
