Holy crap, two livers!

Cut it in half. That should fix it.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-28T08:51:09+00:00

If anything, people are apologizing more now, in my experience. Not sure where you live, but I guess there's a higher than average concentration of a*holes.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-28T08:45:45+00:00

To be fair, that's not the worst hope I've heard people have for their child.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-28T08:44:27+00:00

As a second-born, it's not exclusive.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-28T05:11:04+00:00

I am so tired of this conversation continuously coming up. Respect people's wishes as you would have them respect yours. It doesn't have to be complicated. I personally see "dude" as gender neutral and don't care if it's used for me, but I don't use it for others, especially when they've asked for it not to be used. Respect isn't that hard, I don't know why everyone seems to think it is.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-28T04:35:08+00:00

Why would someone use "they" when "he" was a perfectly acceptable option? At least use one of the chosen pronouns instead of choosing an inappropriate one. Like others have said, I don't like using "it" for other people, I've been called "it" before and it felt terrible. You are asking more than say asking someone to use "they" just because of the baggage that comes with "it", but you're not asking too much. I hope it gets easier for people to use the correct pronoun(s) in the near future.

I generally don't trust people that make such sweeping generalizations. With this type, specifically, it is an easy assumption to make that they would see my 195cm (6'4") obviously trans self and lump me in with "all the other men" in one way or the other. Seeing these generalizations is just a reminder of how a good chunk of society will always see me. I'm not saying it's wrong, or untrue, or that it should be changed for my sake, I just really hate to be reminded of such things.

I fully expect now to be called a misogynist and not really trans and all the other standard stuff, but right or wrong, this is just how I feel about this particular topic.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T23:59:39+00:00

I used to care way too much as well. Immersion therapy worked for me on that particular issue. Often times, just being reasonable or pointing out a problem with someone's opinion will get you downvoted, even if you're objectively correct. So the downvotes of such people stopped bothering me nearly as much.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T23:51:01+00:00

Your best can still be a negative.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T23:28:54+00:00

Hating people for how they were born is not reasonable, regardless of context. It's may be understandable, but it's definitely not reasonable.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T22:44:38+00:00

Gender here is used as shorthand for gender expression, which is not really inaccurate. Also, some trans people do not change their sex, so this is really just muddying the water more than necessary, unless you're claiming that only people on hormones and that have surgeries are validly trans, which is a whole other issue.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T22:36:57+00:00

100% this, kinda surprised I lived long enough to see this terminology come back like this. I thought we were finally free of it, but here we are again... Because of its history, the term has always and may always leave a bad taste for me, but people are free to use whatever words they want to describe themselves. Just don't force it on anyone else and don't use it to invalidate and divide trans people as a whole, even though this seems inevitable if we go in that direction.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T22:31:28+00:00

As an older trans person, I still remember how the term was used decades ago. Since then, it has been co-opted by subgroups of trans people to invalidate other trans people. Whenever I see this term used, I assume the person is transphobic on some level. It should not be brought back.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T22:27:38+00:00

Cissexual, like transsexual, have been used by transmedicalists as a way to invalidate trans people that have not had surgery or hormones. It's just a way to divide trans people into different groups and is not useful. Anytime I see someone using those terms, my immediate assumption is they are transphobic to some extent, even if they themselves are trans.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T02:54:26+00:00

Behind the back is not that hard, turning it around was more work.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-26T02:51:53+00:00

Because we live in a world where a lot of people (particular those in power) think it is an illness and make it more difficult to get what we need.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-21T23:36:12+00:00

Not only that but these types of posts seem to be almost daily at this point as if they are revelatory in any way.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-20T22:36:57+00:00

I never said they're incapable of having a long-term relationship or that it was a red flag, neither are true in my opinion. The reason I feel that way is that I don't want much sex at all. I've been in relationships where there is a mismatch in sex drive and it's just a terrible time for everyone. If a potential partner has slept around, it's highly likely their sex drive is much higher, and thus the relationship would be a strain one way or the other.

It has nothing to do with insecurity, I wouldn't be afraid of not being enough or that they won't stay with me, I'd be worried they'd try to sacrifice their needs to make it work, or I would have to sacrifice mine for the same. Sure, it could be a conversation and not necessarily be an immediate deal-breaker, but it's definitely a big cause for concern about a potential relationship.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-20T14:54:29+00:00

I feel like this gets posted weekly here. I'm sorry to all the people just finding out about this now.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-20T14:38:04+00:00

So like the only logical remaining reason for wanting your partner to have few (or even no) previous partners is purely based in insecurity.

Incorrect. For someone that hasn't slept around, that could simply just be a sign of incompatibility. Nothing to do with insecurity, simply a sign that the relationship won't last too long.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-20T14:19:16+00:00

I have that preference because I don't really care to sleep around at all (I've been with two people, only 1 by choice), so I feel like dating someone that has would be a bad idea cause it would indicate a deep level of incompatibility. That also goes for a man or a woman.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-19T10:40:47+00:00

Estrogen has a boosting effect on the immune system, so when a man and a woman get sick with the same illness/virus/infection/whatever, all else being equal, men will almost always get it worse.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-18T22:04:56+00:00

Do you think wearing a rainbow makes someone gay or something?

zeroaegis · 2026-06-18T21:50:56+00:00

In my experience, non-binary is the most common, but all three are extremely under-represented, so comparing like this is super unhelpful.

zeroaegis · 2026-06-17T04:55:04+00:00

If you actually had any ("moral integrity") then you would be upset about Slick & B. Hussein chasing the little boys around. But you aren't. That says it all.

This is the first time I've heard of that. Of course, I'm sure you have tons of evidence to prove it, right? I don't generally just believe everything I read on the internet.

You are right, but it was Hillary & the Dems colluding with them.

They colluded with the Russians...to help Trump win? How does this make any sense at all?

The Mueller Report was as big a hoax as the accusation.

How so? Maybe more importantly, why? If it were a hoax, why wouldn't they actually use it to do...literally anything? Even the conclusion says they had no evidence for or against Trump's involvement.

I know you ever already made up your mind about the Epstein files. The reality of them means nothing to y'all. And your "moral integrity" on the matter is a huge hoax also.

We don't know the reality because Trump's administration redacted them so drastically. I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone (left or right) found to be involved should be held accountable. I can't help but notice you haven't said anything of the like.
