Oh, you' re one of those people who think that transitioning and/or identification changes your sex.

I mean socially passing trans men are not treated as female, so it doesn't make sense for GC to include trans men in most of their activism. But we do acknowledge not all sex characteristics can be changed.

I have been listening to them: lots of them complain that trans natal males talk over them exactly like men talk over women.

Yes, trans women get move visibility than trans men. But trans men on r/FTM have posted anti-GC threads. Here are a few.

Gender critical finally got banned today!!!

Can we talk about how to deal with TERFs?

Why did I decide that arguing with a terf was a good idea

feeling ashamed because of things terfs accuse trans men of

Had a very unpleasant encounter with a TERF classmate who tried to “convert” me

They even use the term TERF in their title, which GC considers a slur.

No shit? But the fact that you are still attracted to the same people you were attracted to before transitioning, means that your sexual orientation didn' t change. The only thing you changed is the name you call yourself because of your sexuality, because you think you have changed sex. You haven' t, and you haven' t changed sexuality either.

Yes it's the label for your sexual orientation that changes. As a straight woman I will tell you I'm attracted to pre-transition trans women but not post-transition trans women. This will depend on how far into transition they are.

So you are attracted to males and females who present as males.

That' s called bisexuality.

That's called heterosexuality. Aren't most people attracted to gender presentation?

I don't get this viewpoint. Is my male partner gay or bisexual because I have a masculine gender presentation? Or do you think there need to be hormones involved?

Yeah, this will mean that other people sexual orientation depends on you. And not on them. And this means that sexual orientation can be changed, which is false.

It doesn't make sense from a logical standpoint. If a man dates a woman, and she's feminine, then he's straight, but if she changes up her appearance and becomes GNC, then all of a sudden he's gay or bisexual? It doesn't work like that. Nothing has materially changed in either case. She still has a female body.

You don't understand, girl. I am floating-gender, so my gender is different every day.

Yesterday I was wearing pink dress, so I was a woman, so my girlfriend was a lesbian.

Today I am wearing black pants, so I am a man, so my girlfriend is straight now.

Tomorrow I am planning to be demigender and wear rainbow-colored paranja, so my girlfriend will be pansexual.

As easy as that!

Is it clear that it is obvious sarcasm, or should I add /s because in today's political climate someone can say this seriously?
