"Same-sex attraction" is used to create distance between the person and their feelings, disarming the very successful LGBTQ strategy of focusing on a) love instead of sex, and b) an immutable characteristic of identity rather than a given act.

Wait, this person realises same-sex attraction means sex as in sexual characteristics, not sex as in sexual intercourse, right? Also gender identity isn't immutable, unlike sex.

I don't think it's possible for them to stop thinking about fucking something.

Yes, yes.

In order to describe material reality some level of detachment from the individual is always needed. That's how science and the production of any knowledge, including philosophy, works.

a) love instead of sex

lmao!

I challenge you to find one community as sex-charged as the TRA one. It just can't be done.

I think it would make sexual orientation and figuring themselves out alot less complicated if we used straight-forward language like same-sex attraction and opposite-sex attraction when describing sexuality to youth. Then they could focus on listening to their bodies and who they desire without all the baggage attached to "labels" like homosexuality, heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bi, and straight. It really is as simple as who you love/desire once we get rid of all the bullshit society heaps onto sexuality.

Furries. The two groups tend to overlap.
