I think a lot of people don't even notice because it doesn't affect them. Really the only ones being affected by this are lesbians and to a lesser extent gay men - for anyone else, they can go their whole lives without ever encountering the idea of a girldick. I've found though that the few times I've discussed it with others, they seem somewhat incredulous but not in a malicious way. More like they can't understand how anyone could ever expect a lesbian to be into dick and are baffled that it's even an argument. Which is comforting in a way because it makes me realize that the majority of people out there do indeed understand what same-sex attraction is, but I also wish it would be taken more seriously. I think there's this perception that it's just a fringe group of weirdos who perpetuate this stuff, but nowadays that's really not true and gay people are genuinely losing spaces and voices.

People have literally responded like “Well, just tell them you are a lesbian and you don’t date people who are not born female..” and look confused. They also can’t believe that women are calling themselves “bi lesbians” and that women who are calling themselves “lesbians” are dating straight men, and that they ALL hate us for saying lesbian is a homosexual female. It’s like they cannot get past how illogical it is, and I end up feeling really embarrassed.

Hey, you are doing something though. You’re making these people aware. The fact that they say this and make a confused face means they see that there is something odd with the logic that trans people try to push. They didn’t get angry and call you a transphobe, they didn’t threaten you with violence. They said to tell these trans people that you aren’t interested and thought it odd that it would be any more difficult which means they see the absurdity in all of this

Showing them the whole ball-waxing case helps.

What’s the ball-waxing case? And I mean that the people see the absurdity in the trans people who try to push that logic

Jonathan Yaniv, Jessica Yaniv took a bunch of women to court for refusing to wax his lady-balls. It was a whole depressing stupid thing. Blame Tranada!lol

OHHH! I remember reading that and thinking how dumb it was. I’m curious how it ended. I don’t know who Tranada is :P

Canada. We call it Tranada because we are aggressively progressive here and will shut everything and everyone down

He lost his human rights cases. He went to the human rights tribunal or something and took them all before it and lost

That’s cool. That’s what the fucker gets for trying to force women to touch his genitals. Fucking creep. On another note though, this is why schools should teach a well-versed sex ed. Then maybe people like them could get the help they need and realize that maybe they aren’t trans and have some other kind of diagnosis, like maybe AGP. Then these people would better understand

If the right wing people have their way we won’t be hearing about anything in sex Ed.

Right??? It baffles me how this is even an argument. But that's the point we've reached now in this damn 'community'
