Bi people just can't win. If you're with a different gender, then you must actually be straight. If you're with the same gender, you're just a confused gay. People really can't fathom the idea that you can like more than one thing.

"Do you like apples or oranges?"
"I like both"
"What the gently caress"

As a bi, yup.

Trans people are in a rough spot too. The argument Glen cites that "lesbians are dwindling because they just declare themselves trans" is so so infuriating. Gender identity and sexual attraction are two different things!!! Plus, lesbians "gain" members who are trans!

be sure to dive into the comments where he reveals the source of his "50% of girls claiming to be trans to be cool" statistic: his son dated a girl who claimed this

This sentiment can do some really unpleasant things to people who are seriously questioning their gender identity while being prone to imposter syndrome. gently caress that guy.

What’s weird is lesbian and trans are self identifies like anything else. There is no inherent value to straight people or gay people or whatever existing. It’s soley for the people who identify as such.

If a straight person realizes they are bi or gay I don’t lose anything

Conversely, they might accept that you are attracted to multiple genders, and because of that, can never be satisfied without cheating. Or that they can coerce you into a threesome any time.

"I'm just nervous because I can never satisfy your desire for dick."
"What I desire is a loving partner, there's nothing to fear."
"But I don't have a dick and you like dicks!"
"You know we could just buy one, right?"
"But its not the same!"

Conservativism is the fear that somewhere out there, a person who isn't exactly like them is happy. If a person accepts something about themselves, they might find some joy in that. This is obviously unacceptable.

I do believe there's a lot more openly nb people than a few decades ago but part of that is more people know that's an option now, I feel like.

Like, I'm firmly cis but there's a huge spectrum of how people feel and interact with their gender and if you societally allow for the fact it's not a binary choice more people will have a word for what they feel?

Even the basic premise is bullshit. I'm assuming this person thinks the US constitution is the greatest legal document ever written? We had to fight a revolution to even get the chance write it, then almost immediately had to put down a rebellion in order to get people to follow. (It's a revolution when you win, it's a rebellion when you lose I think is what the AP style guide says)

Almost every single political idea, good or bad, had to establish itself by force in order to accomplish anything.

I don't understand the appeal. Is everyone else just sitting around watching the Big Authoritative Boy eat? Are they allowed to have dinner conversation, or do they just have to stare? That would get awkward as hell. Meals are a social activity, this seems the opposite of that.

Transphobes are now admitting that trans men exist and the whole "trans thing" isn't a ploy by creepy men to get into women's bathrooms and dominate women's sports?

I don't think i ever heard of dad eating before everyone else, definitely have heard the opposite that dad eats later due to working hard to put bread on the table. Why is toxic masculinity so hard like goddamn when am I supposed to eat to become MAXIMUM ALPHA MALE.


Actually gently caress it I'm now saying eating is feminine, true manly men merely filter feed by rapidly breathing, this way they can guarantee that their food has never been touched by a soyboy, or worse, a woman.

Eating is the most feminine activity there is. It's putting solid objects inside of your body for physical gratification!

Katie Herzog used to write for Seattle's alt newspaper The Stranger until she finally got furloughed. But she wrote a pretty TERFy article about trans people who transition back to their original gender that wasn't well researched, and naturally got called out for it. If you walk around parts of Seattle, you'll see "Katie Herzog is a TERF" stickers on signs. She then got upset about it, claimed she had to move out of Seattle, and now basically posts how liberals are gonna lose if they use their pronouns in their biography. She's awful.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
The number of people who have basically sworn themselves to an eternal war against trans rights because of being told to do better on one occasion is surprisingly high.

I keep saying, it's like the Dark Side from Star Wars, where giving into your hate is a slippery slope to it consuming your entire life.

I guess what I'm saying is it would be good if some TERF threw Graham Linehan down a reactor shaft in an act of redemption

I remember feeling I was neither girl nor boy when I was nine. I came out to myself as non binary last year. And yeah, it's definitely because it's a thing people that talk about now, and there's a word for it.
