My daughter just went to a Drag(on) party (sp???):
literally a pre-wedding party for two guys (and there was a stage drag theater contest).
My questions (being an old guy trying to fit into a new world)
1. Is it husband and wife or husband and husband (wife and wife for lesbians)?
2. Why do people do drag? and why don't they dress that way all the time if they like doing it so much?
3. I knew a 'flaming homo' in Toronto (did not know him well enough to ask questions like this): why do some guys act straight and some so feminine to outright flaming in yo' face?
Will probably remember some other questions later... does anyone have a primer?
Honestly asking.... this is all new to the guy who grew up (small town) saying "Ha...you're a homo!" without really knowing what that meant (when told about a 'circle jerk' i wondered why a bunch of guys would want to do that while thinking about women, lol).
Let the flaming begin!
**A side thought:
In the future there WILL be sex bots:
.....there will also be 'child sex bots' (and will/can child sex bots be made illegal?)... thinking about this is kind of disturbing, but i know it IS coming, sooner or later.
Will something like that take care of a pedo's needs or lead to something worse?
If you had a fully functioning sex-bot that looks/feels real with wonderful AI, would you consider never having a relationship (such as marriage) again or just stick with sex-bot?
If my wife died and i had a bot/AI that was acceptable, i might just stick with it, methinks.
Damn, my mind is going tonight!

Your problem is not that they're "wrong" about their gender, but that they ask to be called something that isn't intuitive to you and/or difficult to remember (non-typical pronouns)?
I feel you pain a bit on that because I'm horrible at remembering names. Names are, obviously, non-intuitive semi-unique identifiers that people are expected to remember in social settings. It's simple enough to just avoid speaking about people I don't remember or use much more general pronouns when they come up in conversation. I haven't actually interacted with someone preferring anything other than the normal pronouns (he, she, they) in person. How many times has this happened to you?
Besides our confusion over the word "game", we both understand that social groups have different norms/rules and that one of the ultimate consequences of not following norms is rejection.
