I'm bringing this post back because it was so popular and I'd like to get more of an idea of where my readers are coming from and who they are.
It would be interesting to know how most people who participate here identify. Don't feel the need to classify but if you wish to opine...
Sexual Orientation: Are you gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, asexual, questioning, pansexual, straight?
Gender Identity: Are you male female, intersex, m2f, f2m, androgyne, genderqueer, questioning?

I'm a bisexual male.

Tough. I am happily coupled with a bisexual for 29 years, and I am a male trapped in a female body. I call myself gay, to make it simple.

Pansexual gender fluid (ranging mostly between male and androgyne.)

I'm so glad you posted the question the way you did. Peeling apart things like "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" is a great way to begin busting thru narrow minded stereotypes! Being a child of the seventies, we always used to use the KINSEY scale, but as I grew older it became quite apparent that it was about so much more than sexual behavior. That is why I identify as Queer. I see the term as descriptive of a wider range of my behaviors and idealogies. It embraces people of all sexual orientations and gender identities who have a wider understanding and stronger tolerance for "the other". As a "Queer" I open myself up to the effort of trying to understand ALL other persectives. I am very Proud to be QUEER. Love Jofish

I'm male bisexual. Though I'd love to be a girl for a day. So there's an urge to gender bend in there too.
- June 18, 2008 at 6:25 PM
I am a male "same sexual" .... I do not like the term "homo," nor, actually, any other term but "gay." You know the "bell-shaped curve?" I am at the extreme end of the "same sexual" range. Never have come close to, nor desired to touch a person of another gender. I must add, however, and PLEASE to any others do not take offense, I am happy that I am totally male in thought, looks, actions, etc. Best wishes to all, and thank you for this wonderful site.

Omnisexual Pagan Male / Committed Queer. I have a male partner of 9 years (coming up on 10) who was an Orthodox Priest for 15 years before we met. He left the church and we got a civil union in VT in 2000, Live in PA where our relationship is not recognized, and if we go 7 miles east to NJ we are considered domestic partners.
Any wonder why we're confused?
=RD= - June 18, 2008 at 11:46 PM
Well, my gender would be female, but I have strong male tendencies in the way I think and feel about things, although I look totally femme on the outside.
I identify as a lesbian, but queer works too. - June 19, 2008 at 4:17 AM

Still trying to figure this one out, so I guess "questioning".
I know I'm genderqueer. Born female. Currently in a very male phase, after being in a very female phase.
Attracted to males, regardless.
So... Queer? :) - June 19, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Bisexual man who borders on being asexual. :)
- June 20, 2008 at 1:10 AM
I'll change my previous answer. I'm a pansexual man who borders on being asexual. :)
I identify as bi since I only found out about the word "pansexual" after I started to find the prefix "bi" to be empowering. I feel uncomfortable doing things which reinforces the gender binary, though. - June 20, 2008 at 1:16 AM

Well for years I thought I was heterosexual - I was married and any thoughts I had of women were pushed to one side assumed to be something all women think of once in a blue moon.
Last year while still married I realised it was a bit more than that, but since I was still married I figured I was Bi. Since my separation from my husband, I've been thinking about it a lot and looking at my marriage from a different angle and gaining a better awareness of my sexuality and I realise I am definitely a lesbian.
I'm not all the way out yet, but what a relief it was accepting it to myself! - June 23, 2008 at 9:07 PM

lesbian female though queer works for me too
- June 30, 2008 at 12:08 AM
Pan-romantic asexual with homo-romantic tendencies.
Even though I'm neutrois, I go through occasional phases of feeling slightly more masculine or feminine (the norm being neither) while remaining overall neutrois.
However, whenever I do, I become more romantically inclined toward males if I feel more masculine, or toward females if I feel feminine.
I think I just confused myself. - July 3, 2008 at 4:01 PM

I ID as a female bodied male. I am a FTM in spirit and mind, just not in body. However I will most likely have chest surgery. Personal gender identification can be very specific and encompass a broad range of ideals. Now what I'd like to know is what are WE going to do about this most recent attack on McDonalds????
- July 5, 2008 at 1:44 PM
I am a bi-asexual female. Usually confuses a lot of people!
I usually explain that it means I am aesthetically and romantically attracted to both males and females, but sexually attracted to neither. I would like a platonic relationship with either a male or a female.
Although sometimes I think I should identify as a pan-asexual, since I would be quite happy to have a platonic relationship with someone of any sex/gender. - July 6, 2008 at 11:54 PM
Hi I am lesbian(new to this site).Would someone explain pansexual and asexual. Right from my culture and where I am from( asian /singapore) I feel so proud and that elsewhere the family is making our voices heard and frustrated that right here there is not even a croak.
erdna - July 8, 2008 at 3:15 AM
Hey Erdna,
Asexual means that the person does not experience sexual attraction towards anyone (however they may stil experience aesthetic and/or romantic attraction), and therefore has no desre to engage in sexual activity. However some asexuals (not all though) will engage in sex simply to keep their partner happy.
A pansexual (sometimes also called omnisexual) is someone who can be attracted (sexually, romantically, or aesthetically) to someone, regardless of their gender, this would include; male, female, transgendered, intersexed, ect. - July 8, 2008 at 5:32 PM
- Legion XXXVI said...
I've always identified as bi male tending towards the hetero side.
Until now, anyway...
Now, I suppose I'm questioning my true orientation. I have NEVER considered myself straight. Ever. Ev-er. (Ok, overemphasis...) It's just that after many failed relationships with girls/women, I'm beginning to feel like maybe I'm playing for the wrong team.
I tend to get a little wordy, so I'll just end up by saying that for now, call me bi. Later, maybe gay. Hell, just call me, 'cause I'm freakin' confused! - July 19, 2008 at 2:20 PM

I'm answering this a bit late, but I just found your blog. A bisexual male here, happily (and monogamously) married for 14 years. I'm attracted to men, women, and people in-between, but "bisexual" seems the simplest fit.
"Queer" is a wonderfully inclusive term for the GLBT community, but I don't call myself queer because the uninitiated may assume it means strictly "homosexual," and if I come out to someone, I want to emphasize that liking one gender doesn't mean I don't like another.
As for gender identity: Gender and sexuality are related somehow, but I'm not yet sure what that means for me. - July 20, 2008 at 10:17 PM
I am a female and I previously self-identified as bisexual (but rarely talked about this with others as I didnt think people would understand). I have been in a long term committed relationship with a straight male and I now self-describe my sexual orientation as "mostly straight" as I am primarily attracted to men, but have also always been attracted to women. I have become more comfortable with sharing this with others too as I have found people who accept me for me :-)
- July 22, 2008 at 10:22 PM
questioning asexual, i guess!
- July 30, 2008 at 12:51 AM
Male, in a gay relationship, but actually pansexual. I am drawn primarily to men, but can, and have, been sexual with females. Pansexual seems so powerful as it allows for inclusion of any gender identity and orientation. So to use Larry's "bell curve" analogy, I am closer to the center of the bell curve, strongly attracted to men, but fully embrace and can be sexual with anyone.

Semi-butch female on the outside, slightly effeminate gay male on the inside. Pansexual genderqueer.
As a kid, I only ever had crushes on boys, but by the same token, I only ever admired and wished to emulate men (from baseball players to ballet dancers). I wasn't really brought up to be in a closet, so my 'range' was free to be broader than most. Not to worry, I'm definitely a feminist; though a fictional character, the one woman I always looked up to was the cross-dressing Eowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan-- the original warrior princess!
In high school I started to rethink my sexuality, though I was not yet active. I decided I was really a bisexual who generally prefers the opposite gender. I've never actually wanted to have a sex change, but in my head, I'm basically a gay man.
Looking for mutual love, I was a virgin until the age of twenty-seven. After several spates of unrequited love (for guys), I fell in with a man who wasn't even my usual type, who was kind of 'rough trade' for me. We've been together for two and a half years now. It's great- I wear dark, austere men's clothes and my partner, who has a slight build and loves bright colours, typically shops in the women's section at the thrift store. He's comfortable with my genderqueer-ness and I'm embracing more and more the fluidity of both sexuality and gender. - July 31, 2008 at 5:40 PM
To amend that book of an entry above: I'm also an atheist and rational anarchist, and those are the things I've been ridiculed for, not for being queer. Needless to say, I've not yet found anywhere to fit in!

Lesbian woman.
I am romantically, but not sexually, attracted to men. I haven't yet figured out how to label that: pan-romantic, heteroromantic or not at all (as I'm not entirely asexual). So there, have them all and take your pick. - August 4, 2008 at 8:51 PM
god, its so sad watching the -ist people feel the need to be labeled and categoried and packaged as a certain thing. rational anarchist pagan blah blah blah, whats that got to do with your sexual orientation? also i always here the asexuals saying they are pansexual-asexual, homo-asexual, etc. my question is if how can you call asexual a sexual orientation, but also have another sexual orientation.
im not a gay-bisexual, or a gay-heterosexual. i am gay. male - male gay. thats it. also, to those who use the word queer, admit it, most of you just are to insecure to use gay. all self-hating gays love to be called 'queer'. maybe it helps you sleep at night. or better, maybe your a pagan-anarchist-realist-asexual-queer. - August 5, 2008 at 11:29 PM
- Lauren said...
I'm a gay female. Lesbian. I don't really care what you call me, I'm a woman who is romantically, physically, emotionally and sexually attracted to only women.
I totally believe that sexuality is fluid and different on many levels for many people. - August 6, 2008 at 2:10 AM
About the asexual thing--
It isn't two sexual orientations, but rather the first is the romantic orientation and the second is the sexual orientation.
Therefore, if an asexual male was romantically inclined to males (but felt no sexual attraction to anyone), he might call himself a homo-romantic asexual or a gay-asexual.
There are also aromantic asexuals who don't feel romantic attraction to anyone.
Either way, asexuals can feel attraction romantically, just not sexually, and this is how define their preference in who they're open to dating.
Also, queer is often interpreted as a term to denote someone as non-heteronormative. Some asexuals do also ID as queer, and they aren't gay, nor self-hating.
One last thing: The question was, "How do you self-identify?" not, "What is your sexual orientation?"
Therefore, in this context, your comment about -ist people makes absolutely no sense. - August 6, 2008 at 7:09 PM
interesting. i never thought that the word "queer" is meant for self hating gay people. when i first came across it, i thought it simply a synonym for gay. and i'm proud to have this label. it simply defines me as someone different from the homogeneous-ness of the heteroxual crowd.
i am a gay male. and i totally agree with Lauren that sexuality is fluid and dynamic. there were times before when i was attracted to women. but now, women gyrating on a dancefloor turn me off. i guess our sexuality and hence identity slowly evolve through life. (correct me if i'm wrong). - August 7, 2008 at 2:25 AM

josh - i don't know about "self hating" gays using the term "queer", i think the opposition to it being used is mostly generational because of its negative connotations in the past.

- August 10, 2008 at 10:57 PM
I identify as a lesbian, but I keep the way I look on the very edge of gender bending. I always wear guy clothes, I will not be caught dead in a dress ever again, and I rarely (if ever) wear make-up. And even then it's only some blush. Maybe. I don't really consider myself to be of either gender, but when people ask me, I just say girl. Have any of you seen those t-shirts that say "51% butch" on them? That's me. Although, I know that even the slimmest paper still has the side that can cut us, so I acknowledge and even admire the fact that there are many, many ways to express oneself, and that they are almost as unique as every diverse person on this planet, not even just by all the labels, but also by how the person desides to deal with it.

I am female-bodied. I don't identify as female, but I don't always identify as male, either. "Genderqueer" is the term I'm most comfortable with when others demand a label.
I'm aesthetically attracted to males and females and everything in between. When it comes to the purely visual, I lean toward the male-bodied, but in the end I'm attracted to people, not parts. - August 15, 2008 at 9:42 PM

I'm pansexual, monogamous and female. I tend not to use the term "pansexual" very often, since people don't know what it means around here.
The down side of not explaining is that I don't have the opportunity to share what I really think, or to help raise awareness of the diversity of sexual orientations. - August 16, 2008 at 11:09 PM

When asked, I say lesbian female.
I sometimes wonder if I am actually lesbian or if I'm bi, so perhaps I could be considered questioning. I've been married to a man, have two adult children, and can still admire the male form, but I feel nothing sexually toward them. Have been married to a total "stud" female (her term) for two years, and I'm perfectly happy with the idea of never sleeping with a man again, yet I can talk to my straight female co-workers about how good a man looks or smells... Perhaps "confused" instead of questioning? - August 24, 2008 at 1:07 PM

I think I am a flamboyantly gay guy trapped in a female body. Sexually I am only into men. Emotionally the only people who I see as being like me are gay men. If I did wake up in a male body tomorrow, I am sure I would gussie up in drag and be perfectly happy.

Sexual orientation: soft butch lesbian.
Gender identity: female, but definately a tomboy. Baggy jeans, tshirt, sneakers or boots. I don't wear makeup and I wear my hair and nails short. I went to a transgender conference once and learned alot, most importantly that I have no inclination to be a man, just feel more comfortable in guy's clothes.Sorry about the late post but I just found your blog. I think its great! - September 7, 2008 at 12:32 AM
orientation: Lesbian
I have been married (man), long term relationship (woman) also. I have searched my self with that long soul looking stuff. I have found I am femme. I just want to be me. Labels are just that labels. I am in a relationship with a loving caring woman. I am not attracted to men...I do apolgize about the late post. I have read the entire blog. Learn some new terms which is good for me.

I have no idea. I find myself similar to 2 posts up...shaijinx. I am still learning about myself. I only came out even to myself a year ago. I feel very comfortable in men's clothing, even moerso than womens, but on the inside I loathe being the dominant partner and I've come across a lot of girly girls who really like me and expect me to be that. I've found a lot of butch women (I'/m exclusively attracted to them, in terms of women) who like girls more feminine. Argh.
But I'm bisexual. Bordering on adding on the queer or androgyne tag. - September 15, 2008 at 5:16 PM

Why do we have to be labeled as either "straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, asexual, or questioning?" Why do we need labels? Most people don't fall quite neatly into one of these categories. Can anyone really say that they're 100% straight or 100% gay, or 50/50? So why do we need to make it all seem black or white or grey, when really it's all just black, white, and grey? Isn't there some term for people who just don't want to be filed into such categories? Ambisexual is a term I've heard before, but it's rather confusing, as the "ambi" is supposed to be for "ambiguous," however it more likely connotes "ambi" as in "ambidextrous," meaning "multiple. I have considered myself a gay man for a very long time, but occasionally sleep with women. I don't enjoy it nearly as much, but I've done it and may do it on occasion, which confused many people and causes them to label me as bisexual, which I am not. I will continue to date men avidly and will end up with one in the long run. The term "non-heterosexual" refers to men and women of that nature who are heterosexual but occasionally, while drunk or for whichever reason, sway towards the same sex, but putting a "non" in front of homosexual simply wouldn't suffice.
- November 10, 2008 at 12:50 PM
Hey everybody!! Just found this post. I find it quite interesting. Read some things I never heard of before. What's cisfemale? Thought I'd heard it all by now. Guess I was wrong. Lesbian here. Or gay woman if you like. Or queer if you must. I think it's weird how the word gay is reserved for men a lot of the time. Glad I found this site!! Take care!!

Hello- I've read this site several times & just felt like commenting. I recently moved back to a city.( Been in Bible Belt hicksburg for 13 years) I've been getting in touch with people I think I can relate to in said city now for a few months prior to moving here. I've kind of always felt quite male, but always got termed tomboy. Myself, within the past year? I identify as a gay male. I'm currently enclosed within tits. I think also, there's a bias- Pretty girls are never manly(hence guys find geeky mechanic, gamers hot) & manly girls are always lesbians & not pretty. I know plenty smoking hot lesbians, as does Hollywood. I personally could never pass well as a man- I'm way too Inara, not enough Mal(points if you got that.) Thank God I'm goth & therefore, androgyny is accepted. Now- to try to pass as male after gaining weight... that's the test. Anyone have any tips for ftm's- heavier?

I'm a bisexual and I self identify as female I think but I don't really like society's view on gender.
I think mentally the genders can be very similar I loath the importance put on gender. so I identify more as myself. Bisexual and carrie who just so happens to be female but my gender feels so irrelavant. I have no idea what tha classes me as gender wise. - December 6, 2008 at 12:16 PM
pansexual genderqueer. I'm biologicly and mentally male. However I strongly oppose classic gender lables. What is male? What is female? I can look at myself and see a man but also recognize that I have characteristics that are classicly female. And I revel in that fact. For that reason I am genderqueer. I am attracted to people who would be labled as classic male. However, with every partner I have ever had I see that they are not just simply male. They are men, they are women. They have male parts, and they have female parts. In other words, lables are convenient ways of distracting us from who we really are.

It's not that simple of course. I've just realized I feel almost bigender...except both halves are just two very different women rolling around inside me. At times I'm very butchy (ironically developed after I came out as trans, not from old male behavior). I'm protective, comforting, loud, confrontational, and tough. And other times, I'm incredibly 'fluffy', cuddly, innocent, gentle, socially awkward and sheepish. I can be the world's biggest badass, but if my partner just gives me one lascivious look I start chewing on my lip and shuffling my feet and blushing.
As for sexual preference, I do tend to use the term lesbian, as it's pretty damn accurate, but there are some exceptions I guess. I'm attracted to femininity in all its myriad forms, not specifically women. My partner is a transgirl as well. I guess I could theoretically be attracted to a man as long as he was INCREDIBLY feminine. Masculinity does nothing for me. - December 16, 2008 at 8:20 AM
Female, mainstream appearance and mannerisms. Usually ID myself as Gay but may use the word Lesbian at times.
I think innately I am bi-sexual, as in my body could respond to men if my mind would accept it :) I can 'adore" and "love" men individually and have occasionally felt mild attraction for those particular men.
But culturally and romantically I am purely lesbian.
I just linked to this site off another board and would normally avoid any participation in this type of conversation as it utterly confuses me, and things that are confusing are annoying.
But my beloved wife of 10yrs has issues that confuse her sometimes so I am staying here and looking around to see if I find something enlightening that gives her comfort. She has a naturally very masculine build ( aside from very obvious breasts ) and from childhood forward tailored her superficial mannerisms after male role models like her father. That was what seemed normal and comfortable to her.
Thus she appears extremely butch to people, even though she really isn't on the inside.
She is deeply and firmly feminine in her soul and has no desire to be male.
It hurts her feelings when people call her Sir and I know that she is quietly sad that her feminine soul doesn't manifest in her natural appearance and mannerisms as most people think it should.
I don't know if any of that made sense..I guess I just mean that it hurts because to me she is beautiful and natural and she shouldn't have to feel like there is anything wrong with her self. It kind of pisses me off. - January 4, 2009 at 2:39 PM
Female Pansexual. With a tendency towards women.
- January 17, 2009 at 11:33 AM
I usually just say I am queer, but may also say gay or faggot. Who cares, it's just a word ... but I am a homosexual male, quite comfortable with who I am, after first denying and then accepting myself in the mid-20's.
- January 19, 2009 at 11:34 PM
I'm a female and I am straight. Usually. But then sometimes I think romantically about females too. However, I dont want to be sexually involved with them. Hmmm... SO wat does that make me?
- February 1, 2009 at 9:33 AM
I am in total agreement with the person above me. I would, however, identify as a questioning female.

Technically I guess I am a pansexual woman in a monogamous marriage to a hetero man. But most of the people I meet only know gay,bi, or straight so to them I'd be bi. And I don't like all the preconcieved notions people have of what bisexual means, like bi girls are all either the 3way princesses of the porno world, gay women still in denial, or straights going through an experimental phase. So I just call myself a halfdyke and leave it at that.
- February 4, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Dang, I am at a loss to what I am!!
I started out feeling straight, but wanted to "take care of my friends that were female" protect them, you know, LOL. I dated tons of guys, but was very phobic of the visual part of being male..married a guy because I was supossed to..stayed 10 misserable years with him..left for a woman I had met one week after we married and carried in my heart for years after we lost touch..only to find her again!! It ened and I realized I was not bisexual at all, but loved LOVED women!! Dated a ton, lived with a few..met a transexual FtM..who I thought had made a mistake (smile) and we got together..22 years later we are still together and he did not make a mistake..I did, as much as I love him, he is a foreign country and I wish he could be the female he was born to..gets worse..go figure..my ex husband feels female and almost transgendered, but his rather born again beliefs stopped him..so here I am, 61 years old..still not sure who I am!!
OK, I am queer, a femme in that I am only attracted to dyke butch women. I am a lesbian and my mind set revolves around woman..all woman, not just the few I might be attracted to. I like some men, even love some..but am attracted to none.
I will never leave my partner, but damned if I know how I got here!! - February 17, 2009 at 8:53 PM

Emotionally bisexual but heterosexually asexual...
In other words, I can be emotionally attracted to male and females (and the occasional androgyny, I suppose too) yet in general I am only ever physically/sexually attracted to females. I am female. I look and dress female. I wear dresses, skirts, make-up, etc. but I have very male characteristics. Gender tests always tell me I'm male. - November 14, 2009 at 3:24 PM
I just found this site today, and I'm glad I did!
I am usually percieved as a heterosexual female, though I would consider myself pansexual, being attracted to mostly males, and a (somewhat large) handful of women and transgendered people here and there.
As for gender, I'm biologically female and don't wish to change that. I've always wished I were more masculine, and had the guts to be more butch. But hey, make-up just makes me look better! - November 28, 2009 at 3:10 AM

I feel most people are innately "bisexual" though some of use have a stronger attraction for one sex or the other or both equally.
I hate labels, but we live in a society that created the closet, and in that close is a variety of items like the LGBTQ Community, thank the church for that, and we're tired of hiding in that closet and here we are.
I feel the term "Gay Community" includes all these people, but some like to label them differently [LGBTQ].
I label myself "Gay" male [I some times refer to our Lesbian sisters as "Gay"], though I have bisexual tendencies, I'm a person that has always wanted a stronger longe term relationship, and being "bisexual" wouldn't give me that life long term relationship without having a desire for the opposit sex. Thankfully, I'm attracted mostly to people of the same sex, though I do have an attraction for some women, I prefer to be labeled as "Gay."
This is why I feel people that say you can convert from being "homosexual" to "heterosexual" is a sham!
If a person is innately bisexual, sure he or she can marry can marry someone of the opposit sex, but most of us have an innately stronger attraction toward some one of the same sex [of course some not at all], and if a male who marries some one of the opposit sex, yet has a stronger attraction toward males he's fooling himself, and thats not converstion. Their just hiding in the closet again...pretending that everything is okay, and their more likely to be unhappy inside themselves. - November 28, 2009 at 12:58 PM
I've always been attracted to men since I was a kid, and I didn't know why!
I didn't know any gay people, and didn't grow up around any gay people. Their was one guy in my school who used to get teased, but that was all I knew. I was a virgin most of my teen life, and then I found "god" and served him for four years in a very strict apostolic teachings, and all that time I still had an natural attraction for men, that not even "god" could have changed.
I left the church do to hypocrisy, but in college I met a girl who I loved, but I still had that strong attraction toward men deep inside my spirit. I left to serve in our military, and that was when I had my first gay relationship, and I was at aw about it when I found our gay community which made me feel free!
Thank the Goddess of Great Nature for accepting me for who I am!
People, if you are the spiritual type, don't go to a religion that does not accept you completely as you are, there are many paths we can take. There are several that teach equality in it's doctrine. Just leave them and find a better path for yourself. - November 28, 2009 at 1:25 PM
Lesbian. Or gay, whatever word I happen to use at the time.
I mean no offense but some people are just clearly being ridiculous. I hate this culture that being gay is all about sex. It's about having a normal life of which sex is a part but you don't *need* to do crazy things if you don't want to. That's what makes everybody hate us; these idiots who keep up the stereotype because they don't know how else to deal with it.
I know someone who claims to be a 'polyamorous pansexual FTM transgender male' and I'm sorry but it's actually taking the piss. x - November 28, 2009 at 1:32 PM

I identify as a female lesbian. I fell in love with someone who happens to be a man. I fell in love with him in spite of his gender, not because of it. I just say I'm bisexual because I'm sick of arguing with people about how I identify.

I identify myself as a LESBIAN FEMALE. I respect every human in the world, no matter what the sexual orientation or the gender identity is. In what calls to myself, I love being a woman, dress and think like a woman (I'm not very femme though, but I'm not butch either. I just love jeans, black tennis shoes and tshirts hahaha), and the same I love BEING a woman, I love as well BEING WITH a woman. cheers!
- November 28, 2009 at 1:59 PM
I guess I really don't understand sexual orientation. After 22 years of identifying myself as a lesbian and in a committed relationship for 21 of those years. I'm physically not attracted to women at all. I'm much more attracted to men, sexually. But emotionally, psychologically I am woman-identified. In spite of not being physically attracted to women, I've ONLY been orgasmic with female sex partners. So....like I said, I'm totally confused. Feeling quite torn up about this recently, for reasons I won't take up time & space with on a public forum.

I've thought about this much over the past few years. As a 60 yr old female, I have had 4 significant relationships (years of monogamy)- 2 w/women (always butch) and 2 w/men (always bear like), yet I am not a particularly feminine woman. I am very self-sufficient and my son refers to me as a lipstick lesbian or a fellagirl, but no one would ever look at me and think anything other than hetero. I always said I was bi but believe myself to truly be pansexual. Fun fact: my 24 yr old son is gay and we often find ourselves attracted to the same people!

I identify as queer or lesbian. Let's say it's my insecurity that drives me to identify more often as "queer" when I'm around other lesbians. Straight people don't make me insecure, so I identify more often as "lesbian" around them...and "one of the nice ones." My girlfriend HATES the word "queer" so it's "lesbian" around her, but when I came out to my mother, I used the word "queer."
Was that answer convoluted enought for you? LOL
Gender identity is female with a certain amount of dysphoria at times. Little bit of genderqueerness there.
gigi - November 28, 2009 at 3:26 PM
To the LGBT world I would probably identify as a bisexual asexual male: anatomically and mentally I am male, I am more attracted to females than males, and during my lifetime have only had sex a couple of times (excluding sex with myself).
Since this might be awkward for straights to understand, when asked I might answer vaguely 'I am somewhere in between' without getting into much details. - November 28, 2009 at 7:05 PM
I'm almost 18 and I've called myself a bisexual for a while now but I feel that pansexual fits me better too.
I'm not blind, I see different sexes but I just don't think they matter all that much to me. :)
~the singing girl - November 28, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Good question!
I usually identify as queer in general, more specifically as asexual lesbian.
In terms of gender, I present physically as woman, mentally more as genderqueer. - November 28, 2009 at 10:38 PM

I am a biologically assigned female who identifies as a man and am in the early stages of transitioning. With an exception in High School (so I did not get beaten up), I have only been involved with females/women -- am attracted to femininity. To most people I must look like a butch Lesbian, yet a few people know the truth.
I find it increasingly discouraging to have to choose a "sex" on informational paperwork where I have to choose just one. For the most part there are only two choices and I am not really comfortable choosing either one. I have started choosing "male" as this is my goal just not a reality. - November 29, 2009 at 2:37 AM

Gender-wise: Not sure yet. Androgynous, genderqueer, definitely not man or woman.

Female straight romantic asexual. I'm married to a straight sexual male.
I like Suechan's answer, and I would also say that my "sexual preference" is love, as well. For many years, I fell in love with unavailable men, just to have the romance without the sex.
Since meeting my husband, sex has been, for me, an expression of love and intimacy. I have no real physical reaction to it...never did. - November 29, 2009 at 1:33 PM

LONDON (AP) — A German magazine lifted the lid on the operations of the National Security Agency's hacking unit on December 29, 2013, reporting that American spies intercept computer deliveries, exploit hardware vulnerabilities, and even hijack Microsoft's internal reporting system to spy on their targets.
Der Spiegel's revelations relate to a division of the NSA known as Tailored Access Operations, or TAO, which is painted as an elite team of hackers specializing in stealing data from the toughest of targets.
Citing internal NSA documents, the magazine said that TAO's mission was "Getting the ungettable," and quoted an unnamed intelligence official as saying that TAO had gathered "some of the most significant intelligence our country has ever seen."
Der Spiegel said TAO had a catalog of high-tech gadgets for particularly hard-to-crack cases, including computer monitor cables specially modified to record what is being typed across the screen, USB sticks secretly fitted with radio transmitters to broadcast stolen data over the airwaves, and fake base stations intended to intercept mobile phone signals on the go.
The NSA doesn't just rely on James Bond-style spy gear, the magazine said. Some of the attacks described by Der Spiegel exploit weaknesses in the architecture of the Internet to deliver malicious software to specific computers. Others take advantage of weaknesses in hardware or software distributed by some of the world's leading information technology companies, including Cisco Systems and China's Huawei Technologies, the magazine reported.
Der Spiegel cited a 2008 mail order catalog-style list of vulnerabilities that NSA spies could exploit from companies such as Irvine, California-based Western Digital Corp. or Round Rock, Texas-based Dell. The magazine suggested the agency was "compromising the technology and products of American companies."
Old-fashioned methods get a mention too. Der Spiegel said that if the NSA tracked a target ordering a new computer or other electronic accessories, TAO could tap its allies in the FBI and the CIA, intercept the hardware in transit, and take it to a secret workshop where it could be discretely fitted with espionage software before being sent on its way.
Intercepting computer equipment in such a way is among the NSA's "most productive operations," and has helped harvest intelligence from around the world, one document cited by Der Spiegel stated.
One of the most striking reported revelations concerned the NSA's alleged ability to spy on Microsoft's crash reports, familiar to many users of the Windows operating system as the dialogue box which pops up when a game freezes or a Word document dies. The reporting system is intended to help Microsoft engineers improve their products and fix bugs, but Der Spiegel said the NSA was also sifting through the reports to help spies break into machines running Windows. One NSA document cited by the magazine appeared to poke fun at Microsoft's expense, replacing the software giant's standard error report message with the words: "This information may be intercepted by a foreign sigint (signals intelligence) system to gather detailed information and better exploit your machine."
Microsoft said that information sent by customers about technical issues in such a manner is limited.
"Microsoft does not provide any government with direct or unfettered access to our customer's data," a company representative said in an email Sunday. "We would have significant concerns if the allegations about government actions are true."
Microsoft is one of several U.S. firms that have demanded more transparency from the NSA — and worked to bolster their security — in the wake of the revelations of former intelligence worker Edward Snowden, whose disclosures have ignited an international debate over privacy and surveillance.
Der Spiegel did not explicitly say where its cache NSA documents had come from, although the magazine has previously published a series of stories based on documents leaked by Snowden, and one of Snowden's key contacts — American documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras — was listed among the article's six authors.
No one was immediately available at Der Spiegel to clarify whether Snowden was the source for the latest story.
Another company mentioned by Der Spiegel, though not directly linked with any NSA activity, was Juniper Networks, a computer network equipment maker in Sunnyvale, CA.
"Juniper Networks recently became aware of, and is currently investigating, alleged security compromises of technology products made by a number of companies, including Juniper," the company said in an email. "We take allegations of this nature very seriously and are working actively to address any possible exploit paths."
If necessary, Juniper said, it would, "work closely with customers to ensure they take any mitigation steps."

DJ Priore Biography
When I was nineteen years old, my DJ career began. I was asked by a friend to be her date for her senior prom. While there, I was intrigued by the DJs ability to keep the party going. It looked like so much fun. So, I walk over to him and asked if I could start working for him to learn the business. Thus, a new entertainer was born. In college, I took my DJ skills to the world of weddings. I not only worked for the gentlemen that I met at the prom, but also for a company called Elegant Ensembles. I used all my knowledge of all genres of music as a tool to get the crowd dancing and having fun. Since every crowd is different, I learned how to read the audience and get them dancing. By age 23, with some experience and wisdom, I decided to start my own company. Eighteen years later, we are still going strong. As the DJ for school dances, proms, weddings, mitzvahs and other special events. I've learned that all events are unique and have developed a personal approach to each event our company provides entertainment for.

Will our DJ act as an Emcee during our event?
Yes, your D Boy Entertainer can act as an emcee during your event. Your DJ will make all announcements and make sure that the night keeps on track according to your time line.
What types of equipment do you use?
D Boy Entertainment uses the latest in intelligent lighting and sound equipment. The music library is digital and we have a wide selection of current and classic hits. In addition, we can provide wireless microphone and a LED TV screens.
Do you provide music and equipment for wedding ceremonies?
Yes, we can provide music for your ceremony. I could be either live musicians or a DJ. We offer a sound system for your wedding ceremony, which allows us to transition quickly from the ceremony to the reception.
How long will our DJ play music?
The amount of time your D Boy Entertainer will play is totally up to you. Typically wedding entertainment lasts about four hours. You can decide in advance how long you want your DJ to perform and the price will reflect the time frame. If you are having fun and want the DJ to play longer you can purchase additional time the day of the event.
Is it customary to tip the DJ?
Gratuities given to your D Boy Entertainer are made at the client's sole discretion. 10 percent to 20 percent of the total fee is customary for an excellent performance.
How early will out DJ arrive to set up?
Your D Boy Entertainer will arrive typically one hour prior to the scheduled start time of your event unless a larger entertainment package (i.e. lighting, photo booth) is required. Then generally, two hour prior to start time is needed.
Can we pick what music to play?
Yes, you can pick what music to play. You will simply submit a list of six to ten songs in advance that you would like to hear. This is good because it not only gives us great songs to play but also an idea of your musical tastes.
Will our DJ take guest requests?
Absolutely! We'll work with you prior to your event to determine the specific styles and individual requests that you'd like played. We'll also encourage your guests to make requests (if you approve) to make sure we play the songs that you and your guests want to dance to.
Do you provide a written contract?
It is extremely important to have your booking confirmed in writing. D Boy Entertainment will provide you with a written contract outlining the terms of our service. We will sign the contract and give you a copy to retain for your records. It is important to have a contract to guarantee your services.
Can you provide wireless microphones for the wedding ceremony, toasts etc?
Sure do!! We can provide a wireless microphone that can be used during the ceremony and/or reception.
How do we pay for your services?
D Boy Entertainment currently accepts personal checks and cash payments. Please make all check payable to D Boy Entertainment.
How far in advance do we need to book your entertainment services?
Wedding bookings are typically made as much as a year ahead of time. I would try to book as early as possible. Although, some last minute bookings may be made as much as a few weeks ahead of time, I would advise to be as organized and prepared as possible to ensure that your date is available (This is true for all vendors you would like to use).
Do you charge sales tax?
No! The price that is agreed upon for the services is the price you pay.

Lifeguard telephone box in La Jolla, California.
The image is printed on matte archival cotton rag fine art paper with a 0.5" - 2" white border (depending on image size) and is signed on the border below the image. The sizes listed are the paper sizes including the border; for example, a 12x12-inch print has 0.5-inch borders, so the size of the actual image is 11x11 inches. The prints are available unframed or framed, and every order is professionally custom printed.
Framed prints come in a black, white, brown or natural wood frame with or without a white cotton rag mat. The frames are handmade in the US from top-quality hardwoods and all archival materials. They are custom made to order, with beautiful spline joints and 99% UV-filtering acrylic glass. Depending on print size, the frames have a 1/2" - 1" face and 1 1/2" - 2 1/4" depth. Smaller frames are fitted with D-rings and a wire for hanging; large frames (36x48 inches and up) have a French cleat hanging system.
Framed prints are currently only available in the US and Australia. All Australian orders are printed, framed, and shipped from my lab in Adelaide. The frames at my lab in Australia are also made locally by hand from top quality materials, but some of the details are a bit different from the US frames - please contact me for more information.
The sizes listed are print sizes; mats and frames will add to the final size. For example, the final outside size of a 16x16-inch matted and framed print is 21x21 inches. Please see the image with the picture frame sizes chart, or the FAQs for all final framed dimensions.
The image is professionally printed, carefully wrapped and boxed, and delivered to you within 10 business days of your order. Smaller prints are shipped in a plastic sleeve backed with cardboard inside a stiff envelope. Medium and large prints are rolled in a plastic sleeve and placed inside a sturdy tube.

★★★★★LisaIt was a big purchase for me as I have never bought someone else's photograph before. I usually take my own. As a matter of fact, I just won the county art show with one of my photographs!

About THL > About Us > THL Home Resources > THL About Us
About Us: Participants in the Tibetan and Himalayan Library
The Tibetan and Himalayan Library consists of a broad array of collaborating individuals, institutions, and communities. Its overall development is guided by an international advisory board consisting of prominent scholars, librarians, technologists, and community leaders in the field of Tibetan and Himalayan Studies from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, geographical/cultural foci, and institutional bases. In addition, there are a variety of editorial boards responsible for more hands-on design and content development in specific structural components of THL. In addition, THL's structural components are populated by scores of individual projects with their own administration ranging from a single participant to a large team of participants.
While the content is the result of many institutions and individuals, the underlying technical infrastructure is supported at the University of Virginia with support from the University of Virginia's Library, the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities, SHANTI, and ITC. Specific technical initiatives are also supported by a small but very talented group of volunteer technologists who have played a crucial role in the development of THL. We would also make special note of THL's technical collaboration with Tibet University's Engineering School and the Bhutan Ministry of Information and Communication.

Yesterday we looked at popular baby names in early Boston, so today let's check out some rare names.
Those two books I discovered with the early Boston birth records also included lists of Boston baptisms, marriages and deaths. I scanned all of these lists to come up with the names below:
A: Admonition, Aftar, America, Amiable, Amorel/Amorill, Androse, Aniball, Angola, Annice, Anstis, Apfier, Archdale, Arimnel, Atterlanta, Avery, Avise, Azor
- America, full name America House, was born in 1660. Could she have been the very first New World baby named America? I can't find anything earlier…
- Avery was a baby girl born in 1645. This could be the earliest girl-Avery I know of.
B: Bagwell, Bagworth, Bant, Barbary, Belcher, Benaniwell, Betteris, Bezaliell, Bickford, Blish, Bossenger, Boylston, Bozoun/Bozoon/Bozoune/Bozon/Boozone, Brattle, Broughton, Budd, Bulkely, Buny, Buttalph/Buttolph, Byfield
- Bagworth's full name was the Hobbit-like Bagworth Endicutt.
- One of the Belchers had the unfortunate full name Belcher Noyes.
- The Bozoun-group refers mainly to one person: Capt. Bozoun Allen (d. 1652), an immigrant from England who was active in early Boston politics.
C: Caylance, Cazneau, Cerston, Chanterlin, Chuzziah, Civil, Cletord, Clorinda, Coneniah, Consider, Constancy, Cord, Crumil, Cumbey/Cumby, Custin/Custine, Cutting
- Could Chuzziah be a version of Josiah?
- Cord's full name was Cord Cordis.
- Cutting's full name was Cutting Bean.
D: Decline, Delicia, Derlow, Dermin, Desire ye Truth, Dickery, Digory, Dinisha, Dionysia, Dixe, Dosithea, Dowsabell, Drewry
- Desire ye Truth gave her daughter the exact same name in 1666. The "ye" here would have been pronounced "the," as the letter y actually represents the letter thorn.
- Here's more on the derivation of Digory.
- Dionysia's full name was the very romantic Dionysia Savage Ravenscroft. (Savage was her maiden name; Ravenscroft was her married name.)
E: Electa, Eleshaway, Eliphall/Elliphall, Ellener, Emmin, Emmorold, Estick, Ethlan, Evos, Exercise
- Exercise's full name was Exercise Blackleech.
F: Fairbanck, Fathergone, Faur, Fearnot/Fearnott, Febee, Fitz-John, Foreland, Fortescue, Fortune, Freeborn, Freegrace, Freelove, Frizzel
- Here's the story behind Fathergone.
- Fearnot is a Puritan name that needs to make a comeback, I think.
G: Gartright, Gatliffe, Gedny, Gee, Gier, Goodith, Grafton, Gravingham, Griffyn, Grimstone, Grindall, Grizzel/Grizzell
- Gartright could be a version of Gertrude.
- Goodith is probably Judith.
- Grimstone! I love any name that features the word "grim." I remember Grimsley popping up in Idaho a few years back…
H: Habbakuck/Habbakuk, Habbiah, Hananeel, Hanniball, Harborne, Harbottle, Hazelelponi, Hazelpanah, Heiborne, Hennerina, Hopefor/Hoptfor, Huldy, Humilis, Humility, Huxtable

M: Macartey, Mackworth, Mauditt, Maverick, Maybe, Meddlecot, Mehalaliell/Mahalaleel, Melatiah, Meribah, Metsathiell, Milam, Milcha, Mindwell, Minot, Mordica, Moremercy, Mungo
- Maverick, born at the end of the 1600s, got his mother's surname as a first name.
N: Nabby, Nebery, Neezer, Neverson, Newgrace, Niot/Nyott
- I'm guessing Neezer was derived from Ebenezer.
- Nyott's full name was Nyott Doubt.
O: Onner, Opportunity, Orchard, Oulando, Oxenbridge

P: Palfrey, Palsgrove, Palti, Parnell, Parthenia, Pepperrell, Perciful, Perring, Phaline, Phesant, Philadelphia, Philippe/Philippi/Philippy/Phillipee/Phillippi, Pilgrim, Pittie, Pool, Posthumus, Pouning, Preserved, Pyam
- Perciful looks like Percival under the influence of "merciful."
- A number of women had names like Phillippi, which is curious…
- Posthumus was once kinda trendy.
- Pilgrim, despite his name, had nothing to do with the Mayflower Pilgrims.
R: Ranis/Ragnis, Recompense, Redemption, Redigon/Redgon/Reddigan/Redigun, Reforme, Rely, Rich-Grace, Ronas, Rooksby/Rooksbey/Rooksbee/Rookby, Roop/Roope, Ryal

- Sucky is an regrettable rendering of Sukey, a diminutive of Susanna.
T: Tacey, Teasant, Torshel, Tregoweth, Tremble, Trine, Tristram, Trueworthy, Turfry, Tuttle
- Tacey has the same root as Tacita: the Latin verb tacere, meaning "to be silent."
- Torshel was the twin of Harborne (see above).
U: Union, Unite
V: Verrin, Vigilant, Vsal
W: Waitawhile/Wayte-a-while, Wentworth, Wheelwright, Wigglesworth/Wigleworth, Winborn, Woodbery, Woodmansie, Woodward
- Waitawhile (female) had the birth name Waitawhile Makepeace. Sounds like a 2-step process for conflict resolution, doesn't it?
Y: Yelverton
Z: Zerubbabel, Zibiah, Zuriell/Zuryell, Zurishaddai
…So, which of the above names intrigue you the most?

The data and charts above provide the tide time predictions for Risavika for July 2024, with extra details provided for today, Tuesday July 23, 2024.
What are Tides?
The tides are very long waves that move across our oceans, and they are caused by the gravitational pull from the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun.
When the highest point of the wave (also known as a crest) reaches a coastline, the coast experiences what we call a high tide. At the lowest point (also known as a trough) reaches the coast, we experience a low tide.
Tidal forces of the moon in the open ocean will form as bulges of water that face the moon, but around land mass and coast lines, the water is able to spread out onto land, which creates the tides.
Earth's tides change based on the gravitational pull of the moon as it orbits us. The gravitational pull of the moon is strongest on whichever side of the Earth is facing it, annd gravity pulls the oceans towards the moon, resulting in a high tide.
On the opposite side of Earth, the bulge is caused by inertia. The water moving away from the moon is able to result the gravitational forces trying to pull it in the opposition direction because the gravitational pull is weaker on the far side of Earth. Inertia wins, and this caused the ocean to bulge out and create a high tide.
As the Earth spins, different locations on the planet will face the moon, and this rotation is what allows the tides to cycle around the planet.
Types of Tides
There are two types, or extremes, of the tide. These are called the spring tide (also known as the King tide) and the neap tide. These tide types occur twice every month.
Neap Tides
When we experience a low tide, the Moon is facing the Earth at a right angle to the Sun. This means that the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun actually work against each other. We call these tides neap tides, and it's when the difference between high and low tide is at its lowest.
A neap tide happens between two spring tides, twice a month when the first and last quarter Moon appears.
Spring Tides
When we experience a high tide, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in alignment, and this creats a strong gravitational pull. A spring tide is when the high and low tide difference is at it's most extreme, the highest and the lowest tides of the month.
Tide Predictions for Risavika
Our tide prediction model for Risavika uses harmonic constants and the nearest available coordinates along with the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) to define the chart datum.
Tide times and heights may not be 100% accurate and they also do not account for local weather conditions. We built this tool out of a love for tides and astronomical calculations but it is not intended to be used for navigation or any purpose where you would need to rely on the data being accurate.
If there are any errors or problems you find with the tide data for Risavika (or any other tidal station) please let us know.

Just two weeks after President Barack Obama saw his Democratic Party put up an unyielding front against Republicans, his coalition is showing signs of stress.
From health care to spying to pending budget deals, many congressional Democrats are challenging the administration and pushing for measures that the White House has not embraced.
Some Democrats are seeking to extend the enrollment period for new health care exchanges. Others want to place restraints on National Security Administration surveillance capabilities. Still others are standing tough against any budget deal that uses long-term reductions in major benefit programs to offset immediate cuts in defense.
Though focused on disparate issues, the Democrats' anxieties are connected by timing and stand out all the more when contrasted with the remarkable unity the party displayed during the recent showdown over the partial government shutdown and the confrontation over raising the nation's borrowing limit.
"That moment was always going to be fleeting," said Matt Bennett, who worked in the Clinton White House and who regularly consults with Obama aides. "The White House, every White House, understands that these folks, driven either by principle or the demands of the politics of their state, have to put daylight between themselves and the president on occasion."
Obama and the Democrats emerged from the debt and shutdown clash with what they wanted: a reopened government, a higher debt ceiling and a Republican Party reeling in the depths of public opinion polls.
But within days, attention turned to the problem-riddled launch of the 3-year-old health care law's enrollment stage and revelations that the U.S. had been secretly monitoring the communications of as many as 35 allied leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel. And with new budget talks underway, Democratic Party liberals reiterated demands that Obama not agree to changes that reduce Social Security or Medicare benefits even in the improbable event Republicans agree to increase budget revenues.
The fraying on the Democratic Party edges is hardly unraveling Obama's support and it pales when compared to the upheaval within the Republican Party as it distances itself from the tactics of tea party conservatives. But the pushback from Democrats comes as Obama is trying to draw renewed attention to his agenda, including passage of an immigration overhaul, his jobs initiatives and the benefits of his health care law.
The computer troubles that befell the start of health insurance sign-ups have caused the greatest anxiety. Republicans pounced on the difficulties as evidence of deeper flaws in the law. But Democrats, even as they defended the policy, also demanded answers in the face of questions from their constituents.
"The fact is that the administration really failed these Americans," Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., told Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner at a hearing this week. "So going forward there can be just no more excuses."
In the Senate, 10 Democrats signed on to a letter seeking an unspecified extension of the enrollment period, which ends March 31. "As you continue to fix problems with the website and the enrollment process, it is critical that the administration be open to modifications that provide greater flexibility for the American people seeking to access health insurance," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., wrote.
Another Democratic senator, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, has called for a one-year delay in the requirement that virtually all Americans have health insurance or pay a fine.
Democrats who have talked to White House officials in recent days describe them as rattled by the health care blunders. But they say they are confident that the troubled website used for enrollment will be corrected and fully operational by the end of November.
The spying revelations also have created some tensions between the administration and Democrats. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and until now a staunch supporter of the NSA's surveillance, called for a "total review of all intelligence programs" following the Merkel reports.
She said that when it came to the NSA collecting intelligence on the leaders of allies such as France, Spain, Mexico and Germany, "Let me state unequivocally: I am totally opposed."
With Congress renewing budget talks Wednesday, liberals have been outspoken in their insistence that Democrats vigorously resist efforts to reduce long-term deficits with savings in Social Security or Medicare. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent who usually votes with Democrats, has been the most outspoken, saying he fears a budget deal will contain a proposal in Obama's budget to reduce cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security and other benefit programs.
Obama, however, has proposed that remedy only if Republicans agree to raise tax revenue, a bargain that most in the GOP firmly oppose. Moreover, leaders from both parties as well as White House officials have signaled that budget talks are looking for a small budget deal, not the type of "grand bargain" that would embrace such a revenue-for-benefit-cuts deal.

Austria is located within a temperate climatic zone. In the west and northwest the influence of the temperate Atlantic climate is felt more strongly, in the east the influence of the continental climate. Temperatures depend largely on altitude, with averages 5°C lower for each additional 300 m of elevation. Summers can be hot, with temperatures sometimes reaching 30°C or more, summer evenings are usually cool.
Precipitation is quite evenly distributed over the entire year, but May, September and the first half of October tend to be the driest, April and November tend to be the wettest periods. Again, altitude determines the precipitation pattern; while high-level areas in the Alps may have a high average rainfall in excess of 2000 mm per year, while some regions in the flatlands of Austria have only 600 mm annually. From June through August, rain usually comes in the form of sometimes heavy thunderstorms, these storms can sometimes bring heavy hail and snowfall in the mountainous regions of the Alps, even in summer.
Weather conditions vary only slightly across the country, the lowland regions in the north and east have more continental influenced conditions with colder winters and hotter summers, and the southeastern areas of Austria have longer and warmer, almost Mediterranean-like summers. Be aware that whatever the season, if you're at a high altitude, the weather can change quickly and dramatically.
The winter snow cover lasts from late December through March in the valleys, from November through May at about 1,800 m, and becomes in many years permanent above about 2,500 m.
Required clothing:
Lightweights with rainwear for summer, waterproof Medium- to Heavyweights for winter. A sweater is necessary almost any time of year.
Koeppen-Geiger classification:
The climate of Austria can be classified as Cfb Climate; a warm temperated humid climate with the warmest month lower than 22°C over average and four or more months above 10°C over average.The climate of the Mountainous Regions of Austria can be classified as Dfb Climate; a humid Snow climate with the warmest month between 10°C and 22°C, the coldest month below -3°C and at last four or more months above 10°C.
