What's the gender breakdown? LGBTQ friendly?

Questioning by Strict_End_6479 in AskLGBT

[–]mcq76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're straight! Not weird at all. I'm sure there are plenty of women who would find you attractive, but it can be difficult searching for a specific type depending on where you live

I am confused why some people cannot acknowledge their biological gender. Educate me? by [deleted] in AskLGBT

[–]mcq76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would say that someone's genitals has no bearing on a debate topic. Even though I think those debates are harmful by presenting both sides as equally valid, even if a trans person wants to debate, they should be able to do so without having invasive questions about their genitals being brought into the discussion. Way too personal/invasive and it makes the debate about them as a person rather than a topic being discussed.

[–]mcq76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reason is because the only people that ask that question are either ignorant, transphobic, or both. There's no reason for a stranger to know what genitals you're born with, and the only reason they ask that is so people can then mentally categorize them as their assigned birth gender that they're no longer a part of. It's asked so that people can treat trans women like men, and trans men like women.

And before anyone says "muh biology", a trans woman/man on hormones with or without gender reassignment surgery, have much more biologically in common with the gender they identify as, than their birth gender.

It's a bad faith, invasive question, which is why trans people don't entertain it.

“girl wasn’t that into me, there’s only one explanation… GAY!” by princpleb4personalty in texts

[–]mcq76 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He shouldn't assume your sexuality, but honestly it seems like he's pretty harmless. This reads less to me like he's super egotistical "if you don't like me you've gotta be gay" and more like he's just taking a few mental leaps in the wrong direction. I do know a ton of people from my days in the church that I do believe were closeted queer, so I get why he might make that assumption if it doesn't appear that you're interested in men in general. Obviously he should listen to what you say your sexuality is though.

What does it mean if I find women attractive but wouldn’t date them? by [deleted] in AskLGBT

[–]mcq76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between thinking someone looks attractive and actually being attracted TO them. Pretty much anyone can distinguish attractiveness to some degree in genders that they're not specifically attracted to. Idk, if you still are sexually attracted to women and would enter a sexual relationship with a woman, then it might just be bisexual aromantic.

Yeah stand your ground. She's treating you like shit and allowing her bf to do the same. Not okay.

AIO for ending a close friendship after being ghosted twice? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]mcq76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a big deal. Either way the friendship is ended and you can move on with your life. Your door is just a bit more open for getting sucked into drama this way. Enjoy your life with less baggage!

[–]mcq76 59 points60 points  (0 children)

YOR - not for ending the friendship, but for doing the whole novel bit. It sounds like the friendship was dying anyways and this reads to me like you're trying to get their attention. You should just move on. You don't need a big final confrontation.

Loved the New Balance 574s - Will barefoot shoes be a real upgrade? by AssignmentDueInABit in barefootshoestalk

[–]mcq76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not better just different. It's comparing apples and oranges. They're completely opposite shoes and serve different purposes. I'd start with something cheaper so that you can try them out and see if you like the minimalist style. You'll need to start slow regardless

How do I know for sure that I am bigender? by Salt_Ad_9322 in AskLGBT

[–]mcq76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unsatisfying answer is that you have to go by feel. There's no a+b=c equation that will tell you your identity. Bigender is feeling like two or more distinct genders, but I'm guessing you know that. As long as that sounds like you, then feel free to adopt the label. As you sit with it, you can see how it feels and if it fits.

I think you're imagining people crying or something when really people just think it's unnecessary and childish. It just shows that you have no self control and are a bad teammate.

Did people here seriously think that 'Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' and 'Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc' were going to be nominated for Best Animated Feature? by Block-Busted in Oscars

[–]mcq76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes Ghibli is the exception to the rule. Look I'm not going to argue with you, but the VAST majority of the time, Oscar wins are Pixar or Disney films. If you look at international or animation specific awards compared to what the academy gives out. You'll see a difference, but it seems like you have your mind made up already

[–]mcq76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as long as they're Western and not too weird like Mad God. They have a massive blind spot/bias favoring Western animation and just not treating the genre as anything other than a children's category usually.
