This is what's so fucking infuriating - someone says "the definition of gay, which is male human + male human, is being stripped away by trans rights activists and it's taking away our language to describe our own life experiences," and the response is effectively, "You're absolutely correct and that makes you the WORST PERSON ON EARTH." For one thing, this trans woman has no place to be talking about the gay male community, and whether or not "many" gay men consider trans men to be men. For another, if any "gay man" considers a transman a man and enters a sexual relationship with that trans men, HE'S NOT A GAY MAN.

It's like that one guy that's on the current season of Survivor that has a pregnant "husband" at home. I told my (actual male) husband about that and his first response was, "So he's bi, right?"

Among my online gay friends, one pointed out that Ricard said he didn't even want to get married to a guy until he met this woman. Just like Benjamin Putnam (Bendelacreme), there's a variety of deeply homophobic and sexist bi men that will market themselves as gay and only end up with self-harming women while shitting on the gay men who supported their asses.

BenDeLaCreme is married(?) to a transman but still calls himself gay, yes?

During season 6 of RPDR, he referred to himself as "gay" and "weird" as a teenager.
