In a word: cringe. I don't care how harsh it sounds - any non-homosexual person who identifies as queer would benefit from a decade in isolation. Might make their complex worse, though, so best to write them off as lunatics

Thoughts on Polygamy/Polyarmory vs Monogamy? by PeakingPeachEater in LGBDropTheT

[–]panderichthys 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

1) Are you monogamous or polygamous/polyamorous? Why?

I am neither (celibate for non-religious/non-medical reasons). I would likely be monogamous however, only because any potential partners would also be monogamous.

2) If you are monogamous, what are your thoughts on polygamous/polyamorous people or lifestyle? If you're polygamous/polyamorous, what are your thoughts on monogamous people or lifestyle?

I have no strong feelings towards either lifestyle, though I do pity polyamorous people for getting so much shit from both sides. I suppose my views are influenced by antinatalism, as the concerns surrounding polyamory are much fewer with no children involved.

I also see no issue with polygyny in its most basic sense: a man with multiple wives. I believe most people view it as wrong simply because of the religious/women-as-property ties.

3) Have you tried living the reverse lifestyle (ex. If you're polyamorous, have you tried living monogamously with your partner and vice versa?)

N/A

4) Is an open relationship considered polyamorous? And what are your thoughts on that?

Yes...? Otherwise, what's the point of calling it an open relationship? A possible exception are couples in an open relationship who have yet to take on additional partners, but polyamorous people in general need not be in a relationship with more than one person for all time to be considered polyamorous, sooo

5) How do you feel about polygamy being a part of the LGBTQIA+?

Definitely not on its own merit; however, as I always say, any group of people can be LGB if they are at all same-sex attracted. In traditional polygyny, there is typically no sexual relationship between the wives, and the men are almost always straight, so the people involved are unlikely to be members of the LGB. But the same does not apply to more "modern" forms of polyamory.

6) Who out of the LGBT and straight included do you feel is most likely to be monogamous vs polygamous/polyamorous?

Could be an even split. LGB people are more likely to be in closed-circle polyamory (as in, all members are involved with each other to some degree) in general, but more straight people exist, so the numbers should come up to about the same.

Censorship Thursday - share your sub bans here! by NutterButterFlutter in LGBDropTheT

Sucks that you were banned from ActuallyL (also, you can taste the irony at this point). I was under the impression that they were slightly saner than AL owing to the fewer prostate-havers, but they seem just as eager to swing the ban hammer. I don't fully blame them for being wary of the Reddit overlords though. That platform needs to die.

As for your 3-day suspension, make it make sense indeed. If you can have a sub calling white people fragile in its own name, you should tolerate commenters linking to articles expressing the same general sentiment. I'll say, however, I'm on the opposing side of the Karen issue as a non-white non-Boomer. Just call them normal names and leave - no need to drag a perfectly lovely name into the mess. I'd say the more intolerable bitching has been about, well, the word "bitch"

Is sexual attraction only based on genitals, or is there more to sexual attraction (e.g. attraction to secondary sexual characteristics, "femininity", "masculinity", etc)? by [deleted] in LGBDropTheT

[–]panderichthys 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don't think I'm channeling eloquence tonight, so suffice to say that while he explains himself well, the "ascribed" viewpoint is complete hogwash. The bayonet replica is just that — a flawless imitation of an invaluable historical artifact. Is a penis a flawless imitation of a vagina? Do they even have half their parts in common? This person is simply yet another self-hating gay man.

I will say though, one point on which I agree with him, and something extremely unpopular on this sub, is that you can be attracted to someone without caring about their genitals. I am NOT saying that the people for whom only one set of genitals is "correct" can be conditioned into liking the other set. Just that, as someone who finds sexual intercourse pointless all around, the urinary receptacle you own doesn't factor into my attraction

Historical fiction is not the same as a biography. Obviously an original work set in the same historical period would be all right, but this isn't that. If you're going to make shit up about your historical figure anyway, why bother? Just use your imagination. And I completely agree that Anning's romantic proclivities are no one's business until and unless someone somehow discovers a lost manuscript or what-have-you detailing every sexual interaction of hers. Which is very unlikely to say the least as she had a life and career beyond all that.

You're quite literally 19/20 of the female population. Another 19/20 of the male population are able to find you attractive by default. Even if half of all straight men think you're disgusting or simply aren't into you, that's still two billion men. If we cut that in half to leave out all the boys and old men, that's still a billion. And if we cut that in half again, twice, to account for all the taken men, you still have over 250 million potential partners. If you're still having trouble meeting someone, let's just say the problem probably isn't with "tHosE eViL cIs mEn"

Thoughts on the Term "Marriage Equality" by mvmlego in LGBDropTheT

[–]panderichthys 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't have much to say other than I strongly agree with both of your points. "Same-sex marriage", being as explicit as you can get, cannot be twisted in bad faith to claim you said something you didn't. And yes, because humans are buttholes, many, many demographics other than same-sex attracted people have been denied marriage equality. When speaking about us specifically, I'd rather we just use the term that describes us exclusively.

"Marriage equality", being a morally-laden term, as you put it, doesn't cut it for me.

Absolutely. Honestly, I'm even fine with calling you your chosen name, I just won't change the pronouns I use to refer to you in the third person.

Incidentally, this is the quattuordecillionth reason LGB and T should never have merged. Same-sex attracted people just wanted to be treated like people and then left alone. Meanwhile, troids want you to change the way you think, speak, and act. No thank you.

The word "partner" by HelloMomo in LGBDropTheT

[–]panderichthys 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

To me the distinction between all the terms for your other half can be equated to, interestingly enough, the words for shit.

The aforementioned term is obviously more vulgar, "waste" and "excrement" too broad, "feces" too formal and "stool" too medical, and, to state the obvious, "poop/poo", while perfectly normal in everyday conversation, still has a juvenile twang to it. In short, for me there personally isn't one term for this enigmatic substance without clinical, vulgar, or otherwise unnecessary connotations.

To get back on track, "boyfriend/girlfriend" again sounds very much like what high schoolers would say (no shade to grown adults who use it — it's the connotations of the term that sour it for me), while obviously fiancé(e), husband/wife, and spouse have immutable definitions. I don't think many more labels for this type of relationship exist, and as an incurable romantic, the idea of someone being your "partner", whether in work, love, or life remaining unspecified, feels right to me. Therefore, in the context of LGB issues, I have no problem with straight people using it. (However, as a young'un I haven't really seen many of them try to pretend they're homosexual, so I wouldn't know what to make of that and indeed I don't as of now.)

Quick question: is the difference between gay and bi seen differently in the US? by [deleted] in LGBDropTheT

[–]panderichthys 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Being neither from the UK nor the US, I'm afraid I can't offer an answer to your question, though I'd like to leave one of my own. How is bisexuality not "half straight, half gay"? Of course, not all bisexual people like men and women equally, but even "part straight, part gay" is rejected by some. I don't really see the inaccuracy there (aS a bI pErSon - but seriously)

Perhaps so, but they still believe they are actually men/women with "different biology" - which completely contradicts the definitions of the two terms. Essentially they engage in doublethink. Miles better than cringey teenagers, but still far from the sanest

I agree with the majority of your post — dunno about the L and A though. Radfems are indeed obnoxious, but the fixation on "Being a Lesbian" seems to be perpetuated by mostly-straight bi women (and I say that as a bi woman). And while asexuality is probably an order of magnitude or two rarer than same-sex attraction, I doubt the majority of them lie. Everything else = spot on!
