Is sexual attraction only based on genitals, or is there more to sexual attraction (e.g. attraction to secondary sexual characteristics, "femininity", "masculinity", etc)?

But very few people ever go there, and it's for GCs only.

No it's not, it's for GC and QT. And actually some people who post here, also post there-- there are quite a few LGB on that sub as well. So it would definitely be a good place to ask LGB trans-critical people's opinions.

You got a sub for gay people that criticize the TQs and answer questions, besides here? No?

No we don't, do you know why? Because the entire infrastructure of LGB, GC and trans-questioning subs got banned from reddit, and we are still rebuilding. Our priority is taking care of LGB people and addressing our needs. Again, it says that on the sidebar. A s/askLGB sounds like a great idea, but until then, your best bet is probably r/askgaybros-- have you tried there? A lot of them, though not all, are trans-critical.

But yes please call me a troll

I will, thanks, until your actions suggest otherwise. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but you still have not responded to either of my comments' substance on the topic that you introduced. Does that mean you are convinced by the points I made?

I have no issue with your (scientific) definition of what a male or female is. If I did, I would respond to you.

Also, GC is different from LGB. Most GCs are radical feminists. Don't see much of a difference between 'gender critical' and 'radical feminist' anymore, because every GC here and on ovarit was also a rad fem.

LGBs are not necessarily radical feminists. Most aren't actually. Do you really not see a distinction? And you understand everytime I post on GCdebatesQT very few people bother going there? Out of 316 users, only 5 bother showing up. Where did you get 'a ton of LGBs are there' from?

I know lgbdropthet was removed from reddit, that's not exactly news. But it's been a whole year. There should have been a asklgbdropthet or something by now

Good to hear. I brought it up because it was relevant to your questions. Sometimes people ignore comments because they have inconvenient facts, and since I'm not familiar with you, I have no way of knowing why you did so.

Yeah, I agree.

I don't post there regularly but browsing through, I recognize many of the usernames as ones who also comment here (I don't hang out on GC spaces).

I think that would be awesome, but it takes effort to get a sub up and running in a sustainable way and also contribute enough content that people latch on to it and add some as well. I have been trying to plan for at least two other LGB-adjacent subs for a while; an "askLGB" or something would be great, but it's a back burner idea for me personally. I think the mods are pretty stretched thin and that's why there hasn't been more stuff like that; as you can see, even s/LGB is not finished being set up yet.

I'm not opposed to you or anyone asking questions here, but the way the questions are asked DOES matter. I tend to be suspicious of people who may be trolling because 9/10 times in my experience on this sub, the people who come in asking those questions do so in bad faith. If you are truly just trying to find some answers, I understand why getting this reaction would be very frustrating-- but do you understand where I'm coming from? The questions you are asking are important ones, but they also have a lot of weight behind them-- weight that's been used to silence, threaten and intimidate same-sex-attracted people. It is completely reasonable for the people you're asking to be a little suspicious.

Yes I get where you come from, why you would be suspicious because the people that silenced you on different platforms asked similar questions. It's just multiple people were calling me a troll and accusing me instead of answering my questions without pointing fingers, and I already deal with issues, like I start shaking when people yell at me, or things like that. So that was too much for me. Hopefully, there will be a asklgbtdropthet sub for me to ask questions. Until then if I ever get tired of waiting for hours in a gcdebatesqt for someone to answer my questions, and come here instead to ask questions, please please don't unite to attack me. Thanks. And have a nice day
