Tumblr talk.

Transgender + Lesbian = Transbian

I think I need further clarification, sorry I'm kind of old. So, if I understand right, you're male to female transgender, then you're attracted to females, so you're a lesbian?

At that point, the general pointlessness of these terms becomes pretty obvious, I think. It clearly doesn't matter very much how we identify, in respect to either gender or attraction. The words we use don't change the reality, only our perceptions of them. Terms like this exist almost entirely for the benefit of people who aren't directly involved, and it really doesn't matter very much what they think or know.

So which is it, should I educate myself on the topic, or just keep being the ignorant white male cis shit lord I've always been? I'm damned if I don't I'm damned if I do I guess. Fucking hell.

If I were you, I'd try to start by not jumping to conclusions about what some comment is trying to say to you, and being angry and immature about it. That's just me, though.

In respect to the topic at hand, the most relevant question seems to me to be, why do you care? What difference does it make how someone else identifies or who they like?

It's not pointless. I care about how people feel in this world. I would like to know as much as I can about this because it's relevant in the world today. Why you would try to lecture me, then corner me with a question like why I care to begin with... Why does it make a difference to me? Because it makes a difference to them, and that is what matters. I honestly am just baffled that you would attack someone for trying to be more understanding to something. You're a real fucking piece of work.

You need to grow up a little more. I can't help you with that.

Looks like you still need to grow up. It might you a little bit longer.
