    in case people were curious the "soda can" cylindrical ball is supposed to be "aromantic asexual agender" which is also referred to as "triple A" and so in LGBallT it is represented by a AAA battery.

    The only time it is okay to ask a person what their genitalia are is:
    1. If you are intimate with them
    2. If you are a doctor and it is related to the issue they are experiencing.
    Otherwise you have no right to know.

      Occasionally:
      3. To turn the question back around to terfs so they feel how awkward it is to be asked and reduced to just their genitals. As a teaching moment/a little treat.

      Pisses me off too cos its also used in the "when are you having kids" line of questioning. I knew from a very young age that I didn't want kids and my Mum's default was to say that I was too young to know for sure, I'd feel different when I was older. When in my late teens/early 20s (at uni) my Mum would talk about how I should have a kid just so she could raise it and couldn't grasp how fucking weird that was. And I again said I'm not interested in kids. And I'm now in my mid 30s (soon to be late 30s eek lol, where did the time go?) and I still do not want kids. And my Mum finally said that she has come to terms with never getting grandkids. As if my brother doesn't exist. And couldn't father kids....
      One of the reasons I've never broached the topic of sexuality and gender with her. If she can't handle the concept of not everyone wanting kids, I don't need her to question my judgement on who I find sexually attractive and what I consider my gender to be (or more accurately not be).

      That, and they like to point out that most of us bi/pansexuals end up in hetero relationships, while completely ignoring not only the statistics of LGBTQIA+ populations vs hetero, but also the rampant biphobia within said LGBTQIA+ populations that often keep us from being able to date within our same sex. We’d have to be poly (and dating other bisexuals who “get it”, tbh) to be “valid” in their eyes, and then the goalpost would just move again. Plus, if you’re a bisexual male, you’re “secretly gay”, while if you’re a bisexual female, you’re “secretly straight”, and if you’re nonbinary, it’s all just for attention.

      Yes! That is weird. It also doesn't make any sense for conservatives to want trans people in the bathroom that corresponds to their genitalia. Require that and you'd end up with very masculine trans men in the ladies room and feminine trans women in the men's room where they will look completely out of place and have to explain to everyone what's in their pants to "prove" they belong there and aren't in the "wrong" bathroom. Why would they want anyone to have to do that? That's WEIRD.
      And how would they enforce that system anyway? Hire some genital police to check? Not only is that WEIRD its a huge invasion of privacy. NO ONE should be asking, have to show or explain what genitalia they have to belong in a certain bathroom. I for one have never once seen another person's genitalia in the ladies room and don't want to know. I'm just there to pee, they are too. Stop making it WEIRD.

    I constantly tell transphobes that the definition of sex is different in evolutionary biology and in human medicine, and even explain to them that in human medicine sex is usually defined as the collection of different sex attributes, which makes it bimodal and not binary, yet the transphobes seem to tend to lack basic listening and googling skills to verify what I am saying for themselves.

    15:43 History Lesson with Internet [cis] Uncle-Gay 🏳‍🌈!
    Back in the 1990s, we Gen-X LGBT+ folk _just assumed_ that anyone who was cis+hetero was going to attack us. Or hate us. Or otherwise React Badly to finding out we were LGBT+. Because, sadly, we were almost always correct about that.
    Which is why, when I joined a new employer in 2015, my younger coworkers Completely Confused me. Because they reacted to me saying, "My husband," with … nothing. No hostility? No freaking out? Not even performative-tolerance?!?! It was … just … so strange to this Gen-X gay, so contrary to my experience during my first 10-15 years being out.
    But now, the Forces of Hate, led by the TERFs and other anti-trans groups, are trying to restore that climate of automatic-hatred, starting with attacks on trans people. But I know, and all of my fellow Gen-X gays and lesbians know, that it won't stop there.

    So yes Jamie, the whole "Ace people can invade Denmark" did originate with the idea that with 1% of the worlds population being ace our population was bigger than Denmarks.

      I know and respect that yo and others don't want to keep the joke up, but I will be.
      You are right that the joke has moved past the point at this time, because it was meant to be a simple "if you can't picture how many of us there are think about a (somewhat) well-known country like Denmark and know that there are more of us that this country."

    Back when I first started learning about queer identities and thought I was just an ally (egg not yet cracked), I thought the A was for ally. Never heard anyone talking about aspec identities. So I claimed the A..... after much self-searching and after finally coming across the term asexual for the first time...well, I hadn't been wrong in claiming the A. I feel like a lot of the "the A is for allies!" stem from the fact that until very recently no one was talking about aspec people at all. so many people didn't know they are a thing, and no one was explaining what the A stood for, letting people assume it was for ally. I, an ace myself, thought for a long time after discovering that I was queer I was a broken bi. Would have saved me a lot of grief if there had been more Ace rep and talk floating around the online LGBTQIA spaces back then.

    That last comic definitely hits home. Any time my brain starts chewing on itself, asking if I'm "really Trans" or "Trans enough," I remember moments where someone has said, "I'll just wait until he's done," or "Sweetie, we need to line up behind the nice man, okay?" it feels really affirming. (I'm masc-leaning non-binary.) Those snippets of joy are treasures.

    Basic physics says that there's only three states of matter.
    Advanced physics says there's more like 20.

      It’s just biology as a species that does not reproduce asexually we have two genders and using intersex as a excuse is weak sense it is literally a Rae birth DEFECT it is a mistake during the development process

    8:54 Story time
    I had a close friend when I was a teenager who tried to get me to be naked with him as part of a "game."
    I didn’t because I was afraid of what I was absolutely certain my body would do when we undressed. I was also full of internalized homophobia and convinced I was a cis male.
    Had no clue why I was so certain of how I'd react or why I wanted to do it anyway. Kind of wish I'd went along. It would likely have saved me years of repression of my sexuality because looking back I think I liked him as more than a friend but was unaware.
    "There were no signs" "They were friends" etc.
    It was decades later I figured my demisexual / bisexual nonbinary self out.
    (Before anyone asks, that means can be attracted to almost any gender but as a demisexual gets attracted rather than an allo.

      @mericanmodi8479cis is not a slur. It is a prefix that means the same. You would know that if you passed English class.

      @mericanmodi8479 How is it a slur?

      ​@@FloridaManEvolvedI was never taught that in English class. You can argue that cis is being _used_ as a slur like the word "queer" a few decades ago, but most people who aren't trans wouldn't be offended by that Adjective.

      ​@mericanmodi8479 So let me get this straight: there aren't any people with oenises who call themselves "men"?

      @AntiWokeGrantboth are normal though, it's just an adjective.
      "Short men shouldn't exist, it's either normal men or tall men" "summer clothing shouldn't exist, it's either normal clothing or winter clothing"
