@LukeAlmighty Oh no, “straight” doesn’t suffice when we’re diving into trans politics, because most people don’t understand why it’s so important to them to actually be considered women, as opposed to just men that want to live as women.

But once you actually understand autogynephilia, it’s kind of a lightbulb moment. Or at least it was for me.

@dave
We're on fedi.
Your sexuality is based on your sex, and no amount of cutting will change what sex you are.

Also, gender is a term, that means sex, bit is used instead of sex, because sex is better used as a term for the action of reproduction.

@LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty @dave progressives think there are an infinite number of genders. well their arent an infinite number of words. so gender is an essentially meaningless concept and we all revert to just caring about sex like we always really did.

@PapaPole @dave
Yes, and I know, that the closest word to the concept of Gender would be mood, but I won't be assed to entertain it in a serious conversation.

@LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty @dave i think they have literally mistaken the concept of personality for gender. theyre obsessed with stereotypes so if you like something that isnt stereotypically male then you arent a man. and a lot of boys have grown up with teachers and single mothers talking about how oppressive and tyrannical men are that boys think "if im not living up to some stereotype of a rapist nazi lumberjack then im not really a man."

But congratulations on discovering straight people do exist. I am happy it helped you understand some things better.

@LukeAlmighty @PapaPole You do not understand what autogynephilia is

@dave @PapaPole
I am just not playing leftie word games. That's all you need for the world to make sense.

@LukeAlmighty @PapaPole Imagine complaining about the destruction and perversion of language, and in the same thread typing this.

@dave @PapaPole
Yes.
I am glad you understand my vocabulary now.

@dave @PapaPole
Please, tell me what I did wrong?
I told you the meanings of the words that I do believe in, and that to change these meanings is a mutilation of the language itself.

I am trying to defend the language. That is the entire point.

@LukeAlmighty @PapaPole The problem is that you’ve oversimplified an interesting paraphilia to the point where your description of it is wrong. The vast majority of guys aren’t into crossdressing and the other things associated with AGPs Saying it’s just being straight is like saying being bipolar is just “being a woman”.

@dave @PapaPole
That is, because it is a simple topic.
There is seriously no reason to even include cross dressing into the topic.

Yeah, sure. Most computers don't have blue keyboard connected. But that does not affect what a computer is. To include a blue keyboard into the conversation is ridiculous.

@dave
> You do not understand what autogynephilia is

Congratulations, you were correct.
I misread the definition. Why didn't you push on it though will be a mystery to me.

What a shame.

@dave
So, yeah. You were right on this one.

I'll take a look into that one.

@PapaPole @LukeAlmighty @dave I fucking agree
