I wouldn’t give a shit if a person in a gorilla costume came in to use the urinal

My same thoughts

In a Marvel universe, I’d walk in and announce that I’m a very, very, very, butch woman and stand up to pee with the door wide open. If I’m pre-op, I’d carry my piss cup in a bright pink purse.

You could remove the mic and pretend it’s a modern iPod 😁

Same. The only ‘TV’ I currently own is my monitor. Fuck that shit, I’m so over modern television as a concept.

Oh, I’m so glad you pointed it out. I thought I was going nuts thinking they were gaudy and in poor taste and I wasn’t reading anyone saying it. 😂

The Mar-a-Lago face alone, and the gaudy golden shoes, statues, chandeliers and shit. Yuck lol

If I didn’t have scruples and lived in the States I’d be all over that.

Yup, and the pandemic showed us how stupid and ignorant they are, too.

Leftists were hesitant with good reason and could be educated. These folks had no chance out of their own volition.

I think the overarching definition needs to go a bit abstract and fuzzy. Like, a woman is a role that society defines and associates with certain acts, activities,. expectations and looks, blah blah blah. This is the approach some medicine takes when defining drug abuse. What’s drug abuse? According to a nursing textbook it’s what society defines it to be.

Just being the devil’s advocate here, but do instincts count as intentions? They’re powerful and we’re born with a lot of them. Like, we’re all born to not starve, but also some birds are compelled to pick up large stones and roost them as eggs indefinitely, and others to perform migrations. “Born to survive and reproduce” is biology’s motto but I think it goes beyond that to “born to do as others do”. And if we extend that to gender roles, I can see how with the inherent variation in biology some people will be born to perform an alternative gender role just like I’m compelled to pursue the same gender.

Ok but please don’t dude me.

I’m not saying I’m the only queer in the village, I’m saying I know where the line is, so you don’t need to overload what I’m saying.

And I’m saying there’s mud everywhere, even where there shouldn’t be mud because they hold standards up so high for no good reason. At some point they’re defending imaginary people and the modding becomes absurd.

Oh no, poor femboys can’t cross dress, it’s being gatekept by this commenter! He should formally apologize to all the femboys he has hurt. Like, c’on now, ridiculous.

Oh, yeah, I agree and I’ve seen them. I’ve even authored one where I was clearly in the wrong!

But my gripe is that even if you post it in one of those communities, the simple fact that it’s got to do with a trans instance breaks people’s brains. Even if you try to explain that what you said wasn’t transphobic, people will assume it was because, well, they’re the experts aren’t they? No, they’re fools with hammers.

(And inb4 the how do you know it wasn’t transphobic comments: I got too much experience with the gay and trans communities since puberty.)

Nah, that’s too simple for what I’m saying. I’m saying people are getting banned for cracking a light-hearted joke. They’re twisting their logic to somehow pin something on the person–whatever it is simply because they don’t like them and assume everyone is out to get them. “Gatekeeping” femboys from being too feminine as part of a joke is a bannable offense type of shit. That’s not the type of community I can support, sorry.

You wouldn’t be obese, you’d be OBOSE.

And people who are not being transphobic are being called so by finding abuse where there’s none. Then screeched them out of existence. Their user base represents the abrasive underbelly of the trans community that prioritizes pedantry over building bridges. They’re too thirsty for a witch hunt and suffer from Being Always Right.

Why is everyone who disagrees suddenly wrong by default and accused of being abusive about inconsequential shit? Because you may hear a lot of stories about actual abuse but I’m saying not everyone is and yet they’re treated much the same.

Oh you mean the tag I had to ZOOM IN TO SEE? Yeah, it’s there.

Like I said, not even taking into account the small phone screen or the bad eyesight. I guess the point is calling people stupid regardless of the context to make oneself feel better.

I’ve never seen a two headed toilet brush in my life in all the places that I’ve lived.

Some of us have different ideas, cultures, and personal experiences that can give us the wrong impression when we see something we’re not familiar with. Sorry to hear “stupid” is the only way you think about it.

Yes, this one right here, Satan

prides itself as being a safe-space for LGBTQ+ folks

I wish that were true. They’re banning people over the stupidest shit regardless if you’re queer yourself. 😂 Fuck that place, that’s not my community.

Show me your eyebrows
