I've talked to trans people before, I even have a trans friend. They got pissy at me for using the wrong pronoun.

Do you frequently do it? I mean, you probably (probably) would get mad if I referred to you as a girl multiple times, accidentally or not. Again, it really does depend on the person.

You're still friends, right?

I only did it once.

We are still friends, I still try to call him her and she. I used to know her when she was a guy. A real nice one too, she used to stand up for me all the time.

Well, that's good. I mean, I've slipped more than once but the guy with whom i did is kinda chill and didn't even comment on it. But it does make sense that someone would get mad, and it's not about being treated specially or different. It's about being treated, like you said, as a human.

If it's not clear what I mean, a human should have the right to establish an identity of their own. They have the right to know what they like, dislike, believe, feel, and of course, what their gender is. An important part of gender is one's pronoun, and denying someone's ability to decide on that is pretty indecent. Of course, I'm not referring to people who want to be called "princesself" or something, since "princess" isn't even a gender. I guess that was part of the point you were making earlier? Most of the weird pronouns, though, come from the lack of a commonplace, gender-neutral pronoun. Most people use "they," but other people get confused by the plurality of the word so??? but the point is misgendering someone unintentionally does warrant some anger, but not like "wow you're literally satan" kind of anger.

Evem if I do call them wrongly, I'm still treating them as human. It's just a mistake that I made, people shouldn't take it to heart all the time.

Tbh, I don't support these ludicrous identities because it creates a narcissistic mindset, thinking that people can be treated like goddamn kings and queens because they choose to identify as something as ludicrous as a -kin or some sort of ridiculous and unrealistic gender identity. As I said before, you're human, therefore we are all equally treated as such.

if you want to take that "specialness," away from them, call them "non-binary"

if they're not male or female, they're lumped into an inoffensive "other" group, so they get to feel comfortable with themselves, and you get to feel comfortable with the fact that they're not unique. everyone wins O:

does that make sense i literally just thought of that now

also otherkin are a joke. no one takes them seriously, right?

You'd be suprised of the infinite stupidity of the human race.

As my favorite quote goes,
"There are two things that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not so sure about the universe".

there was this long post i saw the other day about how "fictionkin are valid kintypes" and should be taken seriously also, i guess implying that regular otherkin are? anyways if i lived in a house with a balcony i probably would have shut my laptop, gone on to the balcony, and stared at the sunrise in a bathrobe while occasionally sipping from a steaming hot cup of coffee

if it's worth mentioning my dad said he was considering his otherkin identity after watching a documentary on them which apparently exists

he was deciding between sugar bearkin and miracle whipkin

The definition of homoloveuality says it's attraction between two people of the opposite SAME (amazing) love. The person in the comic is saying that because times have changed and our understanding of love and gender has changed, the definition must change too.

If you're a guy and you are in a relationship with a transwoman (Male to Female), is it a heteroloveual relationship or a homoloveual relationship? The relationship is between a man and a woman, if one looks at gender, so it is heteroloveual. If one looks at the people's love (which they shouldn't that's gross), then it depends on whether or not the transperson is pre-op or post-op, which only the transperson themselves and their partner should know. That means it can go either way.

Simply, the definition we use to describe loveuality should be changed to reflect attraction towards gender rather than love because it's less confusing.

loveuality literally has love in the name. it's about outward love.
using homoloveual or heteroloveual to describe a relationship should only be in regards to their physical love. you could use homo/heteroromantic to describe the gender difference. after that it gets too complicated though so maybe we should stop labeling relationships. they're extraneous. as long as it's between consenting individuals, their genitalia or gender doesn't matter. if you need to know what kind of relationship someone has, you can just ask what the involved individuals' genders are (because asking about their genitals is sort of nosy and it doesn't pertain to you)

alright the way I see it
homoloveuality isn't just about genitals. there's no way that could be the case. do you actually have to look in someone's pants to decide whether or not you think they're hot? no. so it can't be only about genitals
but, on the other hand, I would not expect a gay guy with a snake to have love with anyone who has a vagina. however I would also not expect them to never do that, because you never know. they might not care about genitals at all. it could just be about masculinity or femininity or whatever for themthat doesn't really solve the issue at hand, though, so I'm not sure what the point is in mentioning it

it's definitely pretty complicated. lots of gay guys would not go for a pre-op transwoman (because they desire a male gendered person) but some would. idk i think homoloveuality should strictly be in relation to love as to not complicate things. if it's something like "i prefer male gendered people but i don't care about their genitalia really" then maybe you could call it homoromantic? again we want to avoid creating so many labels IMO]

gender is so confusing. is it something inherent? is it influenced by your environment? is it just a social construct? ?.?

Hahaha, OK. You're implying that a word can't have a hateful connotation to it.

It can. It's allowing that to affect you that is handicapped.
