Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But suppose someone asks you about homosociality tomorrow? You'll be all "nipple-sucking-SOMETHING" and then you won't know any more.

Yeah, this.
I've never had problems crossing the border with my mother, but with people my own age, yeah, they've been tools.

I think I'm willing to live with this risk.

Yes. Yes, this, very much.
I've never had problems crossing any borders, but that may be because my appearance confuses them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'd just point behind them and say, "Look! Hookers and blow!" and then run away.

Have they ever suspected you of smuggling contraband in your petticoats?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
My general impression regarding the USA/Canada border has been that the Canadian border guards are all "Welcome to our country! Have a pleasant visit!" while the American ones are more "Who the fuck are you and why should we let you in?!?"
This was not at all my experience, as I spent over an hour after my last flight to Toronto trying to explain to immigration that, no, I was not moving to Canada.
Same here. And the fact that I was coming for my boyfriend's sister's funeral only fanned their suspicions. Jackasses.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Haven't really had any hassles with Canada/ US border crossings. The last couple of Canadian trips have been by car, if that makes any difference. (Crossing into Canada on our most recent trip we had a mostly standard exchange: Where are you from, where are you going, how long will you be there? When Gary answered "a small SF convention" to the question of why we were going the guard asked how we'd heard about this convention. Gary replied "I've been attending it for the last 16 years")
