They see these terms like “twunk” as something they can just identify into. Any deviation is gatekeeping, which I’ve legit seen a bigger woman accuse others of when they didn’t think she was a twink (it’s fatphobic too!). However, to most gay men these terms simply exist to talk about body types. They are not uwu precious fandoms. Clueless straight people are appropriating these terms.

I also find her conversion to Judaism interesting. It seems she’s trying to identify into as many oppressed categories as she can.

I feel like a lot of bears & otters take it the level of identity in replacement of a personality.

I think its just because everyone ages/grows out of twink, that you can't really make it an identity.

Lmao even fat attractive young gay men aren't "twinks", that is a very specific body type and style of gay men. These women are as ridiculous and entitled as their male trans counterparts 😭😭😭 they really wanna be treated like "special gay men", yet they know nothing of gay culture but misinterpreted shallow stereotypes.
