This is some real talk! Like I'm a big supporter of gender affirming care and bathroom rights, but I'm two standard deviations to the right of the bell curve in terms of largeness and I got the super test gene.

I would happily give up a non insignificant amount of height, and donate ALL my test, if it meant I could have my younger back again.

Your gender doesn't start or end at your genitalia.

Edit: other than crotch homie, I would like some to explain to me why this statement is incorrect.

Your thoughts on gender are irrelevant to this conversation. "There are worse things" isn't an excuse to harm a sentient creature. There's worse things than being stabbed in the eye. Are you volunteering to be stabbed in the eye?

Who said"there are worse things"?

I said, fairly specifically, that I would gladly be more feminine.

The person I was replying to, before you inserted yourself into the conversation and derailed it

You know there are worse things for a dog than a shock collar, getting killed in traffic, or shot by the neighbors, or hurting a neighbor's dog, being amongst them. They learn pretty soon with the shock there are audio warnings so they aren't getting shocked all the time.

I was the person you responded to...

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're hector? If so, why don't you remember something you said a few hours ago?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Lmao! I'm in an argument with him too!

Edit to clarify: dude tried to question my community involvement. And I asked him if he was someone else I give no shelter to. I find it very funny you asked me this given my previous comments.

I think I mixed up a bunch of users I start arguments with(which in all honesty, I do way too much)

But it was dog zilla. https://lemmy.today/comment/22138351

I make mistakes, and I'll admit to them. I made a mistake, my bad.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It happens. It makes sense because your reply to me seemed so out of left field in the context of the point I was trying to make lol

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

Again, I am honestly sorry.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

Honestly, yes. I'll look up the comment right quick.

"Do I have a penis or vagina?" - the great philosophical question of our time

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter what you got, it's what you want.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want to get a blowjob from Angelina Jolie. It doesn't matter what we want, reality ain't gonna change for us.

I really don't think gender dysphoria is comparable to your lust for Jon voight's daughter, and it's really dismissive of the trans community as a whole.
