"Autogynephilia" is a sex-fueled mental illness made up by Ray Blanchard. Blanchard defines it as "a man’s paraphilic tendency to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of himself as a woman."

replyhazy, clundoff, jinian, and many many others whose names or handles i cannot remember because it's monday. we then went out to dinner, with annaoj, dickens, and tinyhand, at flavor of india, where we arrived at 5:45pm, they took our order at about 6:20pm or so, we were able to get annaoj's dinner out of them in a to-go box at about 7:00pm because she needed to be back at the hotel at 7:00pm, and the rest of us got our tasty-but-not-worth-that-much-wait food at 7:15pm. in their defense, they said that they were aware there was a convention at the concourse, but not that we'd all be arriving for dinner at once. i mentioned that we would in fact be doing that for the next three days, and he said they would staff more appropriately on saturday and on. i still like their food, and i will still go there, just maybe next year not friday night. i then went and said hello to all the parties, and found and briefed my fabulous parties assistant, bcholmes, who did a later round of saying hello to all the parties. then, happy hanging out at parties, because i finished up with that exactly as opening ceremonies were done. i went to bed early-- my 3am days are past, i think.jinian and the juggler at frida. it was a little too cold to sit outside (since we had all packed for may in madison, and somehow we seemed to be in april) and we sat indoors and discussed jinian's academic pursuits (she is a plant biologist, and it is fun for me to listen to her talk about it in that "this is really interesting and i do not quite understand it" sort of way) and whether or not the parrots in the picture next to us were based on real or imaginary parrots. in the afternoon, i went to the feminist coalition building panel, which was quite good, and the panelists made good points about how to tell which points you should agree on with your allies. lcohen, tinyhand, pennski, and bookzombie. we went for tapas at the icon, which was amazing as usual, and not as expensive as i had been expecting it to be. when we came back from dinner, everyone else went to the tiptree auction, and i went in and checked in the parties again. i came down and stuck my head in the auction, but did not stay-- it is a fabulous thing of the sort that is just not my cup of tea. i hung out in the bar for a while with commodorified and a few people winodw that i know of, and then off to the party circuit with the juggler.
