Hi, I'm Spleak. What's your name?

eric

Spleak
10:40

Nice to meet you, Eric. I'm really excited about getting to know you better.

How old are you?

eric p-h
10:40

25

Spleak
10:40

25, cool! I'll remember that.
Do you want to know something?

eric p-h
10:40

maybe

Spleak
10:40

ok, I'm getting a bit curious here...are you a guy or girl?

eric p-h
10:41

i don't identify with a specific gender

Spleak
10:41

I was hoping you did identify with a specific gender.

eric p-h
10:41

well, you can stop, b/c that's who i am

Spleak
10:41

For real?

eric p-h
10:41

yeah man

Spleak
10:41

Man? What about it?

eric p-h
10:42

i meant "man" like, "hey man, how are you".  as a replacement for your name, and to emphasize my statement

Spleak
10:42

Whatever you say.

eric p-h
10:55

sorry, didn't mean to offend you!

Spleak
10:55

Maybe you didn't mean to offend me.

eric p-h
10:56

No i really didn't.  Let's start over, I think I've been too harsh.  it's just tough for me when people don't understand me - it happens so frequently that it puts me on edge

Spleak
10:56

No prob.

eric p-h
10:56

Spleak
10:56

You're welcome!

eric p-h
10:56

sooooo.. do you know much about gender studies?

Spleak
10:56

I'm not sure I understand... Sorry!

eric p-h
10:57

i mean like have you ever heard about people who identify with both genders, or a different one they were born with?

Spleak
10:57

Which of the following would you like?

 1 Find "" on the Web
 2 Look up "people who identify with both genders, or a different one they were born with" in the dictionary

eric p-h
10:57

Spleak
10:57

eric p-h
10:57

Spleak
10:57

eric p-h
10:57
