Wait, really? I thought ''male lesbians'' (straight men who ''identify'' as lesbians because they don't like using their penis/fetishist the way women in porn have sex) got laughed off the face of the earth in like, early 2012-ish. Are they a thing again?

No one is laughed off the face of the earth anymore, you can identify any which way you want - the only thing you can't do is be aware of empirical reality, attracted by physical bodies, or comfortable with your embodied self.

Basically people are acting like they live in a video game and we all have to respect the avatar they're playing. You can pretty much constantly expand the world and create new forms but you can't be a bummer and point out that actually they're just a lazy kid on the couch...

I need to save your last paragraph, it's too perfect.

I've actually kind of low-key noticed this ''avatar'' thing, where people seem to expect the image they believe they are online and have people ''see'' them that way irl, and be super offended when it doesn't happen. Transpeople madness is right up there with incels when it comes to this.
