@DanEckam @thepeacepoet99 Yes, you're talking about different things.

[Tom Brinton @TBrintonWriter]

@DanEckam @thepeacepoet99 No. Read a book or something. It means women who choose to date women because they're fed up with men, and not necessarily because they desire women.

An absolutely adorable enby person liked me on Hinge, but I had to swipe left. They are 20, and I am 47, and it might be legal but it would be WRONG.

@RichardWaggles @elegationvain No, for the lads it's Kai, Oliver, Sebastian, or something ending in -aden.

@Amr_11318 @elegationvain They shouldn't be posting pics, though, even fully clothed. A lot are likely or obviously underaged.

[Tom Brinton @TBrintonWriter]

@elegationvain The other tendency is young pre-everything mascs in women's clothing, with a woman's haircut, and a full face of women's makeup (not guyliner), asking if they pass/what they need to do to pass. Like, young gentlemen, just TRY.

A fair rubric

@burnthelilacs I want to give this poor dude a hug. Jesus.

[Tom Brinton @TBrintonWriter]

@uncanny_eli @nonstopbrocock This seems taboo in the current discourse, but we are all shaped by our lived experiences, sometimes in unpredictable ways, and I doubt it's a coincidence that people assigned female are the ones framed as weak vessels, easily led, w/ no ontological reality.

@Lettuceman42069 @DomainDead No, nazis are nazis. Words have meaning, Lettuce Man.

@Jose90491864 Just @ me next time.

@SpitalliLori @chlorbee What a strange thing to say about a schoolteacher.

@coolbanana321 @WomenReadWomen It's projection. It always is.
