Your lack of understanding of how to post on this site makes it hard to follow you and see who you're talking to.
Your boyfriend (and you) sound pretty controlling. These women get paid to pretty much just stand there. Why turn down that money? Are you two really so insecure in your relationship that you think it will crumble if someone else looks at one of you and thinks you two are attractive?
If you're not flirting with other people and aren't posting nudes, what's the problem? This dating site needs pretty faces for its advertisements. They are paying for those faces. It's just a picture. It's just a job.

Grey-A is someone who isn't 100% asexual, but doesn't have enough sex drive to be considered sexual either. It's kind of an umbrella term. Could be:

How are they whores?
Sure, some might get off on it, some might like being fawned over, but others still are just trying to get a paycheck.
To say that they're all whores and all just want the attention is a huge blanket statement.
Models typically have another job too. Sometimes you just got to take what comes your way to make ends meet. I'm glad for you that you have a job that covers everything for you. Some of us are not so lucky, especially with all the layoffs that have been happening for years now. A fulltime minimum wage job (at least in my area) will not cover rent, utilities, food, insurance, gas, all those wonderful bills we have. Here you need at least a full time and a part time or dual income. If you're trying to get an education too? Sorry, that's a lot of hours in a classroom that you can't spend at work getting paid.

It's fine to say you'd be uncomfortable modelling, but saying that 'everyone in their right mind should have the same opinion as me' and calling women names who are just trying to get ends to meet, that's all a bit excessive.

Sometimes it's nice to have a name for things. Society can be kind of sex crazed, so you can feel kind of broken to not have this thing that is such a basic human instinct. Knowing other people feel similar and swapping tips on how to navigate sexless relationships or can be real helpful. If they don't feel romantic attraction, it's nice to laugh and vent with other people who know about parents constantly asking if you have a date or setting you up on blind dates.
It's sometimes a hormone imbalance or caused by depression or something, and they can talk about treatment.
It can't always be treated though, so that's where the tip swapping comes in.

I got messaged about it on cosplay page about a year ago. I guess I am one of their cosplayers, I'm on the site's list, etc. But I haven't really kept up on the correspondence so I haven't worked any cons for GL, promoted it or anything yet.

It seems like any other niche dating community, I can definitely see the appeal of a "geek" centric paysite vs, say, OKC. I would hope a site geared towards "geeks" would subject female members to less of the awful messages and illiterate harassment.

As far as I know the hired cosplayers are essentially walking billboards to engage people at cons. They wear the logo on their costumes and tell people about the site. Like being a booth babe, but you wear your own costume and you're not committed to stay at a booth for 6 hrs.

I have a boyfriend. He doesn't mind me representing a dating site. For the record, neither do my parents - - if I worked a con they'd be happy that I'd be subsidizing the expense instead of blowing my own money on what they consider a vacation weekend.

Especially since these same people complain about loans and people getting into debt.

2 sexes, gender had much more room. Intersex is a legit thing so there are 3 legit genders:f m and I, maybe trans but I'd lump trans with intersex since it doesn't actually require you to have both a dick and vagina and has been used for people in transition/inbetween
Andro isn't a gender, that would be like me saying I'm a non living entity in the sense that tumblr uses it. It would also fall into intersex since it's again something that contains both traits of the binary sexes m and f. Not to mention that androgynous means looking both female and male, not looking like nothing. And intersex doesn't limit to identifying with strictly one gender at a time.

No, the people you're describing aren't trans. They're annoying as fuckall and want to be labeled as anything other than their birth sex just so they won't have to be cis. It's really pathetic. True trans individuals make an effort to present as one of the two binary genders and, most times, transition via surgery. There are some who don't transition with the aid of surgery because they either cannot afford it, or can get away with passing using only binding/stuffing/what have you. Please don't label them as... whatever you're describing in your post.

Well, personally, I wouldn't "shove it down your throat", because I'm not particularly proud of being uncomfortable in my own skin. But I guess some people feel the need to /because/ they're uncomfortable. It's like they have the mentality that f they can't be comfortable, nobody can. I've met people like that, so I understand (kind of) where you're coming from, but to label all trans people as mentally defective is incredibly rude and derogatory, and in all honestly makes you sound pretty dumb.

Maybe I didn't phrase it well enough. I never said it wasn't a disorder, I said labeling trans people as mentally defective /because they're loud about how they present themselves/ is rude. Sorry for any confusion. I'm well aware that gender dysphoria is a mental condition/disorder.

Again, I get the reasoning, but as a trans person, I frankly don't like all that being chalked up to a disorder. People want to change the way they look all the time, but no one calls it a disorder unless it has to do with gender. If some chick wants breast implants or a nose job, she doesn't need to get a diagnosis from a therapist to do it, but if I want to feel more comfortable with my body, I do. I'm not some freak who needs therapy just because I don't want to be the gender I was assigned.

For your information, I read the DSM, and I know that it defines a mental disorder as causing distress, inhibiting the person's ability to function in life, and increasing their likelihood of physical harm.
And let me tell you, the fact that I'm trans does not cause any of those symptoms. You know what does? Shit like this. People discounting my opinions about my own gender, their slurs, and the fact that they think I need to be institutionalized.

To be fair, though, many trans people suffer from these symptoms due to dysphoria. Distress is putting it lightly, whereas self-harm is the more extreme end. So, yes, It can be classified as a disorder if someone has those symptoms, which seems common (mostly in trans youth). Just because someone is an outlier like you who doesn't suffer from these types of things doesn't mean it doesn't affect others.

Okay, that's fair enough.

Additionally, people seem to lump the whole trans community in said category and assume we all feel tremendous dysphoria, when obviously that isn't true at all. I often get the impression that people use GID as evidence that we're fucked up when it doesn't even apply to all of us.

Depends on the country and the type of surgery. In quite a few countries they do require you to undergo an evaluation, because at the end of the day if there is something wrong with your brain that makes you unhappy getting surgery is not going to fix it. Classic case being Michael Jackson, if he was really just unhappy with his nose he would have stopped at one surgery, but his nose wasn't the issue, his brain was fucked up and that's why he never stopped.

All of those stem from deep-seeded self-esteem issues. Being trans is just part of someone's identity, it doesn't have to do with some sort of trauma.
>"... if there is something wrong with your brain that makes you unhappy getting surgery is not going to fix it. Classic case being Michael Jackson..."
But surgery does help fix the issue if you're trans. I've never known a trans person who regrets getting surgery (assuming the surgery went as planned, that is). It may not completely solve everything, but unlike Micheal Jackson, trans people who want surgery view it as a step in the right direction. It helps.

That is completely irrelevant to the point you were initially trying to make. You said nobody calls appearance related grievances disorders.

>But surgery does help fix the issue if you're trans. I've never known a trans person who regrets getting surgery (assuming the surgery went as planned, that is).

Anecdotal evidence isn't really valid but I'll humour you. My mum knew several transgender people who all transitioned in the seventies who completely regret the decision now. I'm guessing most of the people you know are relatively young, considering it's a permanent change anything less than a decade isn't really a substantial amount of time to decide whether you're happy or not.

If we are contributing valid sources to base our opinions on here are some studies and articles:

Look at it like this, being the thinnest they possibly can be is what is going to make an anorexic person happy. It will help them. But we don't let them do it, instead we try and encourage them not to hate the body they were born in and try to behave like a normal person. Why do we encourage transgender people to mutilate their bodies instead of teaching them not to hate themselves?

It's a fair question, and one I've asked myself at times (although adding "that's fucked up" is really not the most respectful way to ask such a thing).
The fact of the matter is, gender has a lot more to do with your identity than you realize. It's the first thing someone notices about you, even if they don't realize it, and it often dictates how your actions are viewed, what's socially acceptable for you to do, the clothes you wear, the hobbies you're likely to have, even what kind of deodorant you buy. In our society, gender factors in so largely into so many things about you, and so being forced to try and conform to the wrong one is really difficult.

Being that this is a board for very social hobbies that result in negative public reactions I would have imagined most people on here were kinda the same.

It doesn't have to do with approval or anything like that, just wanting to be seen as who you are. I suppose it's difficult to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it. For me personally, I've always disliked being treated like a girl (being called pretty, when men apologize for cursing around me, et cetera); it just rubs me the wrong way and feels wrong. I like it when people view me as masculine, and it makes me feel a lot more comfortable. I remember years ago, whenever I'd go on Omegle or ChatRoulette or what have you, people were always surprised to find out I was female after talking to me for a while (I'm not sure why, though I think it may be my writing style), and it made me feel... happy, I guess.

I've never met them before, no one told me to use "neutral" pronouns and I would've easily made the switch if they quietly told me rather than making a huge fuss and almost starting a fight.

Started to read this thread then just got annoyed realllll fast.

I'm going to start by saying I'm a GL Cosplayer, so if you wanna stop reading or bitch at me now go ahead.

The every single possible gender thing:
The founder chose to include ALL of the genders listed because he wants this site to be all inclusive and feel like a safe place for everyone no matter what they classify themselves as. Yes, catering to the 'tumblr' crowd. So maybe -you- don't know what some of the genders listed are, or see them as necessary. Thats great. But they are there on the off chance that someone who does classify themselves as that can see it and feel included. And for those of you who think its just plain dumb and don't want to associate with "special snowflakes" as you put it, you can chose not to be matched to any of the genders listed
The cosplayers as 'models' thing:
Its actually listed right on the front page. The founder chose to utilize cosplayers as ONE part of advertising because lets face it, a large majority of the userbase we are going after attends conventions. Cosplayers themselves are our userbase: nerds/geeks/etc. At no point do any of us claim to be using the site when we are not, nor is there any sort of sick 'promise' that you can 'get us' by signing up. We get to wear any costume we please, so its not like we're running around in bikinis doing soft core porn shoots to advertise the site. You know what my most recent cosplay was at a GL sponsored con? Old Gregg. Oh so sexy mmmm. We are being paid to promote a service, just like booth babes or any other street team. Except we also cosplay and care a whole hell of a lot about the website and geek/nerd culture.
ALL we are doing is saying "Hey, this site is awesome, you should check it out sometime if this is your thing!"

CONT

I see a lot of people saying this is just to exploit geeks and none of the cosplayers or directors even care, but that is so so wrong. I personally am 100% behind the website and what it is trying to do. I met my boyfriend through con going and we connected through comics and video games. And we connect on so many levels when it comes to nerdy things, as well as other values in life. That is the goal of the site, to connect people with a passion to other people who share that passion, while providing somewhere safe and welcoming to do so. Yeah, there are paid options. There is also a free option. The paid option is ONLY $10. Not to mention we are constantly throwing out coupon codes. Compared to other paid dating sites thats a hell of a good price. Plus, on OKC and other free sites you are constantly spammed with annoying and unwanted messages, but on GL you have to approve or deny a message request before someone can flood your inbox. And if someone starts being too creepy or fucking annoying you can block them and it essentially erases you from their viewing of the site.

Yes, the site is clunky right now, it just started up and there is ONE, I repeat ONE, person doing ALL of the coding and site layout.

I mean, really, there is nothing shady about the whole thing and I am more than willing to discuss this further with anyone who wants to ask more.

Do I sound like an ass for expecting a complete fucking stranger to not get pissed off at me for calling them "she" when it looks like a girl?

I don't care if you identify as whatever. If you're walking around in plublic, and you look like a girl, I'm going to assume you're either a girl, or want to be called as a girl. If you "identify" as a guy but don't make any attempt to look like one, fuck you for getting angry if I call you a girl. It's sure as hell not my fault.

I agree some folks can get a little overbearing with the labels and the OP is a good example of that, but labels are helpful to communicate about gender and sexuality.

You sound like an ass, because we already established that it's rude to blow up at strangers for using the wrong pronouns, and yet you're still ranting about it. Either you need to read the thread or you need to calm down.

[Anonymous No.7397557]

Agreed, but calling someone "it" isn't really helping your case, bud. I do agree with what you're saying though. If someone identifies as a pangendered-demisexual-otherkin and dresses like anyone else on the fucking street, I'd be angry too if I was snapped at for not "respecting their pronouns".

Okay, okay, I agree with you that people shouldn't fly off the handle with strangers, that's fucking true. But you just come off as really mad about it yourself.
And you're acting like people can magically go poof, and they'll totally pass for the other gender instantly. That shit takes time and I hope that if someone simply asks you for different pronouns, you would be polite enough to go with that.

Has no one on this site heard of promotional modeling? That's that they are doing. The cosplayers are just promoting the site they aren't promisisng to date anyone or anything JFC

Another geeklurv Cosplayer here chiming in.

Our mission is to spread the word about this great company and promote a safe dating environment for everyone who uses it. We want our users to feel accepted and enjoy looking for others with similar interests.

[Anonymous No.7397586]

First, are you retarded? Just because they're "paid" by the site doesn't mean they're users. Second, look up the words promoter and marketing. Seriously people do this all the time and it's a legit job. Example? EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE FUCKING TV. Uneducated swine. ~_~

Another GL Cosplayer here, one of those out-of-staters that traveled in for Sci-Fi Expo.

It's like people have no fucking clue what marketing is. So what, some of us are in committed relationships? What on EARTH does that have to do with promoting a company? It's smart to use our combined fan base to reach out to the demographic that's trying to be reached. We don't claim to be on the site. We never said that you can date us. And god-forbid, help run a booth for a company that I think is a nice idea.

It's nice to be able to do what I like, for a job, and help promote a company that I hope will do well. It has nothing to do with who promotes the site.

Well people don't understand the point of the website. It's not about who the cosplayers are, or how we choose to promote. We're just a part of the architecture. Focus on the future of the site instead of which cosplayer is single.

[Anonymous No.7397603]

I just checked out the facebook page and I see quite a few dudes and some pretty cool cosplayers that are in no way "slutty."
I feel a vendetta here. Is op mad they aren't on the team?

[Anonymous No.7397606]

It's great when a company sends in shills, and they leave you with an even worse opinion of the company than beforehand. Congratulations, geeklurv. You went from looking kinda shady to just plain old shitty.

Actually, the "company" didn't send in anyone? I post regularly on /cgl/ and happened to see some shittalk about a company I represent.
I talked to my friends and fellow cosplayers about it and had a few laughs after posting.
The others came of their own free will, no one told them to or forced them to post and defend the site.
Again, as a director and cosplayer I am 100% open to discussing the site and its practices with you. Soooo. Yeah.

>Look at it like this, being the thinnest they possibly can be is what is going to make an anorexic person happy. It will help them. But we don't let them do it, instead we try and encourage them not to hate the body they were born in and try to behave like a normal person. Why do we encourage transgender people to mutilate their bodies instead of teaching them not to hate themselves?

A+ would read again. I'm so glad someone can put it into words so easily.

In the meantime, let's all enjoy the damage control.

>But the thing is that trans people DON'T do it for approval

That's the only reason they do it. If they didn't desperately want society's approval for how they present themselves then there would be no need to be a different gender. You would just act like you want to, dress how you want to, ect.

This is what always bothers me.

Because the people going on about it are usually the ones who say that gender roles are stupid too, and society is bullshit, man.

So fucking ignore gender roles and society, act how you want to, and don't give a fuck about what other people think of you. If it's not for approval, then there's no need for the extraneous labels that are all over the place.
