Comments on: Mixed Feelings about the term “Plainskin” https://zentastic.me/blog/2012/10/03/mixed-feelings-about-the-term-plainskin/ I can scarcely move or draw my breath // Let me, let me freeze again to death Wed, 06 Jan 2016 03:58:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Argos https://zentastic.me/blog/2012/10/03/mixed-feelings-about-the-term-plainskin/comment-page-1/#comment-23578 Argos Thu, 18 Oct 2012 04:34:24 +0000 https://zentastic.me/blog/?p=12923#comment-23578 I like your definition, but I can see why people would misinterpret it. And while calling a bigot a bigot isn’t right, man sometimes it’s just nice to do it.

My last year at university I took a course called “Gender and Sexuality in the Arts,” and we had to do a performance piece as our final project. Our professor was a performance artist herself. It had to be a video uploaded to a social networking site, so I made a video of me play piercing and uploaded it to youtube. The comments were awful, and some of them really, really hurt. People saying I was sick, wanted attention, that I could hook you up with drugs and was probably a cutter. As you said, they really are “plainbrains.”

Every time I see or hear that sort of thing I wish I could make them understand; make them more open minded and less judgmental.

The definition you give would be better replaced by John Water’s term “neuter” or “neuters”.
