Non-homosexuals love to call themselves gay because "it's easier", but I can't call male people men for the same reason?

You can only call female people who think they are male men. Male people who think they are male are called ejaculators.

I've gotten so used to reading uterus-havers/bleeders/menstruators that reading ejaculators gave me that sudden flash of 'oh wow that's messed up' that I failed to have the first time I saw its female equivalent.

Scary thing to realise.

But remember, we are the ones with a genital fetish /s

Destruction of language, hence destruction of communication. That’s the goal.

Hahaha, sorry. Byproduct of having English as a second language I'm afraid.

I don't care who calls themselves "gay", it's a non serious slang term that doesn't really mean much anymore, nor meant much to begin with. I also don't care if I'm called a "penis haver" or anything ridiculous like that, because it's funny and not untrue.

I draw the line at AMAB/AFAB, though. Trans people claiming to have been "assigned" a sex is horribly disrespectful to intersex people who were given barbaric "sex reassignment" at birth. Imagine being such a narcissist you want everyone to believe your sex was literally forced on you at birth because you now identify as a "lesbian gf uwu" in your 30s, while some children are actually being surgically altered.

That's why AMAB/AFAB should be reserved for intersex people and the idiot who think they're the opposite gender should use observed male/female at birth instead, but they need street Cred and the only way to get it is to insist they're just like intersex people (which they absolutely aren't, since intersex conditions/issues are purely physical and not fee fees).

I used to have a friend who said she told her family she was gay because it was easier than to explain that she wasn't interested in sex/relationships (I wasn't sure what she identified as because she was slowly getting radicalised by TRAs and I cut off contact with her). She said that to me, a lesbian, someone who relies on people using terms correctly so that people would take my sexuality seriously. I just feel bad that I never called her out on it.
