Having recently watched this wonderful short tv programme called My Transsexual Summer (about these group of transsexual people who go on a retreat and they support and help each other) and it somehow felt very close to home, BUT! I've never ever…Continue

Do I hear any pansexuals?

I consider myself both pansexual and asexual. I'm happy to be with whoever, but I want them to be for love, and to be honest I'm really not that bothered about sexual activity until I find that special someone, and I'm not bothered in searching for…Continue

Well greetings dear Raphi. I too relocated from the great and green Pacific Northwest (though in my case the Portlandia area *grin*) to the city by the bay. After two years I moved on to one of the original colonies to be nearer family...but I quite literally left my heart in San Francisco. I hope some day to go back there. Cost of living aside, I found the bay area the perfect place to live. I miss it.

Salutations all.
I have relocated from the protectorate of Puget Sound to the Bay Area. The grand empire of the ideosyncratic, strange, yet quite beloved Emperor Norton. For those unaware of this bit of steam era arcana, do look up the name. It's quite fascinating. One person, near kin to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, does a lovely Widow Norton during Pride Week.
I do so hope to connect with others of our kind locally. We who were called "inverts" during the Victorian era. Of the requisite letters, I am myself a T, a G, and certainly a Q. I still look rather like an L, but owing to the effects of testosterone, I am beginning to assume the appearance of the G I am on the inside.
Engage the rainbow gears... full steam ahead!

Attention group members, regarding joining up on the group page on facebook:
If you've sent me a friend request there - VERY IMPORTANT: did you remember to also send me a note to let me know you are from the the group page here on Steampunk Empire? - If not, I probably accepted your friend request and have not yet added you, simply because I didn't know. If you don't let me know, I'm unable to distinguish you from the other friend requests I regularly seem to recieve from random Steampunkers... - so if that seems to be what's happened - go send me a message right away and I'll get you added in. ^_^
If you weren't already aware before this comment - we also have a group page on facebook! - Friend request me there and I'll add you in - Don't forget to let me know you are from the S.E. page and wish to be added- remind me of your S.E. Screename -(it helps!):
