3 Feb 12: a perfect icebreaker

[Alice Macher]

However, this character may be an immigrant from a very QUILTBAG-unfriendly country (dark skin, native language is French...).

Very likely. Given the latter two factors you mention, I'm thinking she's from one of the several north or central African countries where French is the main (or one of the main) languages.

[wait…what?]

I subscribe to the homophobic, closeted lesbian theory. I.E. the term "keeps happening."

You mean like Monette from early Something*Positive? How she "decided" she was a lesbian and yet still got banged more than a drum, and thought it just "kept happening"? XD

Does Lisa not know about socks on the doorknob?

Possibly. Although maybe she got up and removed the sock once the deed was done.

I can see other people's sides on this, but I'm staying in the "MtF TS that can't figure out why she still likes the womenfolk" camp. We find out Monday, I hope.

I could see that, except she doesn't say, "Why does it [i.e., my body] keep doing this [i.e., having a biologically male response]?", but rather "Why do I keep doing this [i.e., having sex with a woman in a 'male' way]?"

You're right that the dialogue doesn't fit perfectly. I formulated this theory because I assumed that the other voice is Lisa's. I really like Lisa and think that her sleeping with a trans woman without having the courtesy of asking what her physical limits and no-zones are is thoughtless and out of character.

She's demonstrated a sensitivity to the uniqueness of the QUILTBAG community before. But even if she were clueless of trans issues, even if she were drunk and clueless, I can totally see Lisa doing a surreptitious mid-makeout over-the-shoulder peek on reddit for tips on how to romance a trans girl. And it's not like Lisa to jump straight into traditional vaginal sex either. She's creative and uninhibited enough to figure out how to have sex without a penis, even if her partner has one.

I just don't want her to disappoint me!

Same. I also wonder if the close encounter with a MtF TS makes Sara wonder if she'd be happier as a FtM TS - I know it doesn't really work that way in general, but I've met a couple lesbians that have had a bit of a "grass is greener" view of FtM TS interested in women (hetero FtM? I'm not good with the actual labels). Maybe that will be her pensive look at the tightie whities later.

Well, let's be fair, Lisa's still like 18. No matter how sensitive she is, she's going to make mistakes and hurt people. We all do, at all ages, but especially when we're young and (relatively) inexperienced. It's entirely possible that she was cool with the fact that this person is transgendered, but that she saw the penis and immediately thought "this is the pleasure point, time to stimulate it." It doesn't make her a bad person or even especially inconsiderate, just uninformed.

Given it's only her second night in the dorms, she might not, or might know but hasn't really had a chance to get into the habit.

Valerie is right.

As usual. Also, where did I pick up this habit?

X3 Certainly not from me.

Also, welcome to the board, Captain LeBubbles!

Bear in mind that Lisa and Sara have already had this conversation, after Lisa's phone-sex incident- which was earlier that same day. Seriously, Lisa needs to start showing more respect for her roommate. Sara shouldn't have to wake up to the sight of Asscrack McShamewalk with pants at half-mast..

Asscrack McShamewalk

I am soooo tempted to trot out the "That's her name now" forum meme, except that given the rather serious issue this person has, not to mention the comic's overall focus, she's almost certain to reappear and receive an actual name.

Psh, Fiona is still Tanni to me.

I'm sorry I can't help but laugh at Asscrack McShamewalk.
