Trust me, if my handwriting ever went up against a pharmacist’s, theirs would look like calligraphy. At this point, even I struggle to decipher my own notes.

Hey now, my grandfather was a pharmacist, his handwriting was like a printer (it was weird). Pharmacist read the garbage handwriting that doctors scribble.
I had a bit of banking issue from a signature discrepancy. Went to the bank to get it resolved, and morbid curiosity took hold so I showed them the pic I had of my hand during surgery. Priceless reactions abound.

Your grandfather was clearly ahead of his time. Most pharmacists deserve medals for deciphering the hieroglyphics that doctors call prescriptions.

Fun fact. You can literally sign anything you want as a signature as long as it is consistent. I always found that interesting.I had a bit of banking issue from a signature discrepancy.

Same. That writing on the card "isn't even my final form."

Man, talk about an easy sign for autograph hounds.

Firstly, did you ask me if I was part of the group before you assumed? Looks like I am not the only one making assumptions
so I will ask, are you a tranny, shemale or drag queen?
are you a part of the community IRL, or just prefer to pretend to be an advocate while beating off to futa porn screaming "DONT JUDGE AND ASSUME MY GENDER"

I think some do it deliberately to devalue their own signature (so fans who actually want it dont care but the $$$ chases leave them alone).

Dude, thanks for the copy paste - I called you out and then you call me out, though I didn't make the same assumptions. You specifically let us know you weren't part of the community but "know dozens of trannys, shemales and drag-queens and that is how they refer to themselves." (which sounds a lot like "

" - it may be true in your case, but stating it didn't help your case)I am nonbinary. And it's not just because of myself that I am part of the community.
And since you stated you live in Canada - here's a couple helpful pages of information to better your understanding:

Finally, Drag Queen and Drag King is a job title. People who are drag queens may or may not be transgender. They may or may not be gay or lesbian. They may or may not be queer or asexual or etc etc etc. They may be cis-gender heterosexual performers. They are actors whose artistic expression is presented through gender bending

You made an another assumption a few of them actually I know because I am apart of the community as well and acted as a performer/dancer
So I speak with authority on behalf of all trans people out there - that ignorant people like you are disgusting, you assume that we care and get offended on behalf of us, who dislike you.
You are one of the reasons why so many people are misinformed on this topic, you who spread hate by putting a label on everything

You REALLY CAN DO THAT! I used to draw stupid things or just a line on those digital signature pads. And only one time in WalMart some cashier was like "maam I need to make sure this signature matches the card, can you show me?" and I was embarrassed because I drew something dumb on the screen and realized I didn't even sign the back of my card. They eventually let me buy the damn groceries but not before a manager was involved and I was made to feel dumb.
So it works up until you get some newbie cashier or something who thinks buying groceries is like buying liquor and I have to ID check for them. Naturally now I just stick to a squiggly line and don't draw dumb stuff.
I wouldn't speak with authority on behalf of anyone anywhere ever. I speak with authority only for myself and my own experiences. I hope this works well!
I also feel slightly responsible for whatever happened here for asking for a gay scale. Apparently that wasn't the best idea. I am just full of bad ideas. Don't be like me, kids. I'm only a bit toxic and a whole lot dumb. I'm sorry!!!

This is like the monster at the end of this book being Grover. Turns out the gay scale really was just a gay scale. It was just that easy!

True its never good to do so, but my experience encompasses several provinces, cities both professionally and personally
I have worked in bars/clubs and private events all over and then some ignorant fool comes in here with google and says "EDUCATE URSELF" while having zero experience with any relationships outside of the internet (yes assumption on my part based on the reflection and tones of his arguments)
tl;dr im not smart enough to phrase it properly D=
edit: on the topic of this thread, the original reason I clicked on it - I use kink and fetishes interchangeably, and was curious what other people thought
but when I clicked on this thread I saw people arguing and got an erection

Going to add this to my list of interesting kinks that I don't think stories/games have been made about! Someone better get on it!
Also glad to see less arguing. I am sorry if I did anything to offend or cause someone to offend a person.

The less technical you'll be, the more understandable you'll be for the public, yes. But there's a time where you starts to simplify too much and end being counter productive.
Take "Post Traumatic Syndrome Disease" by example. A bit technical, but relatively explicit. It's a condition, considered as medical, that happen after a trauma, therefore after an strong and hard experience.
Now, if by example you decide to call it "War Syndrome", what one will read behind this? Someone who consider war as being harsh will probably read it like PTSD. But an idiot redneck, a wanabe gansta will see it as something positive; you became a Rambo, but as seen in Rambo II, not as depicted in the first movie.
Or, to go on a more common topic, "mild autism"... While it's not an official name, it's often used to describe the less impacting form of autism. It's less obscure than "level 1 autism", but what people imagine behind this "mild"? Do they see it as the less impacting form of autism, or as someone "normal" that just act a bit differently?
In the first case they'll understand that it's still a handicap; they'll try to adapt to the person and its condition. In the second case they'll consider it as, at least a fad, at most a whim, and expect the person to adapt to them.
The worse being that all this is generally done with good intent in mind, as an attempt to ease the mind of those who suffer from the condition, and not as an attempt to make it acceptable by the public.
Imagine, you're in your late teenage years, and a psy tell you that you're schizophrenic or psychopath. All you know about this is what you seen in movie/TV series or read in novels; "my god, I'm psychopath, I'm Dexter, I want to torture and kill people..."
Therefore in place you'll be told in what category your schizophrenia or psychopathy fall in. And the softer will be your own condition, the more innocent its name will looks, for you to not over react, nor panic. But, as I implied above, the more innocent this name will looks, the more people will tend to brush your condition as being something made up that you can easily overcome. What is obviously absolutely not the case.
Edit: to avoid double post
And it actually sound badass.Having said that, my grandpa's old army buddies preferred the term Shell Shock because of how badass it sounds.
But how many redneck wanabe Alpha males, and not just them, will think that he's a pussy because he suffered from some shells exploding around him? They never experienced it and are convinced that it's nothing at all.
I mean, Paton was removed of active service between Sicily campaign and after the D Day, because he slapped two soldiers suffering from Shell Shock, calling them cowards.
