More things I never thought I'd have to wonder about.

If I wear a kilt, is it cross-dressing?

You see, part of yesterday's sacred theater festivities required me to wear a greatkilt, which agrnmn was kind enough to loan me, and triadruid was kind enough to dress me in. "I can kilt you," he said, "I mean, I've kilted iron_clad before." (Later, when he was crawling on top of me with his hands under my ass, trying to adjust the length of the kilt, I had to ask, "You did this to iron_clad?" "Not this part," he replied, "but if it helps you to get through the day to think that I did, go ahead.")

The reactions from other folks were odd. Some of this could be attributed to the gender question asked above (Quoth triadruid, "Between the wool and the T'ger shirt, it goes a long way to hiding the tits. Let me find you my sporran, and I think you could pass, from about 50 paces. Maybe even 30."). But probably some was also due to the fact that you could see my knees. To my knowledge, nobody's seen my knees when I wasn't either in the midst of dressing, or completely naked, in several years. I'm a big fan of the pants, and even when I wear the dresses (which only happens for costume purposes) they're long enough to cover my ankles.

Several of the guys asked if they could kilt-check me. These are, it should be noted, men that I have kilt-checked any number of times, so that was sort of funny. And then, there's this, also from triadruid, "Well, you've dressed me up as a girl several times. Now I get to dress you up as a boy. It all evens out." Yep. The relationship is alive and kinky.

If I had an awards show...

The votes are in. The award for Best Political Activism by a Politician goes to Ohio state Senator Robert Hagan, for his proposed bill banning adoptions by Republican couples.

"State Senator Robert Hagan (D) says he will introduce legislation to ban Republican couples from adopting children. According to Hagan, "credible research'' shows that adopted children raised in GOP households are more at risk for developing "emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos, and alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves and an air of overconfidence to mask their insecurities." Hagan agrees there is no scientific evidence backing his claims about Republican parents -- just, as Hagan notes, there is none backing State Representative Ron Hood's (R) bill banning gay parents from adopting. Hood claims children purportedly suffer from emotional "harm" when they are adopted by gay couples. Hagen admits he created his proposal to mock Hood's proposed ban on gay adoption in a way that people would see the "blatantly discriminatory and extremely divisive" nature of the bill. The GOP House leadership does not support Hood's proposal."
