Re: He/him Or Male Identifying Lesbians (as Someone Who Isn't Any Of Those Things, This Is Just What

Re: he/him or male identifying lesbians (as someone who isn't any of those things, this is just what I've seen other say)

Also I just woke up & I dont mean any of this to be rude, I'm just not awake enough to think about tone of text-voice

1 pronouns don't equal gender and you're original wording implied it does so keep that in mind

2 its actually a pretty big thing in butch culture, especially among older butches, to take masculine terms for themselves. I haven't ever seen any reasoning for this outside of potentially just trying to make straight men mad, but I do know its a thing

3 i think "male identifying lesbians", assuming you mean people who identify with no part of womanhood but do still use the lesbian label, would be similar to nonbinary lesbians or anyone who, at some point, was part of the lesbian community before (or while) figuring out gender stuff & still feels a connection to the community and the culture around it. But otherwise the only times I personally have seen a lesbian use masculine terms was in the way in point 2, which is mostly just "this is how people explain things with the words available to them and their own experience with their gender and attraction"

I hope this helps and I'm glad you asked instead of just getting lost in discourse posts because honestly? Its so hard to try to learn anything from just people yelling at each other (and usually with increasingly incorrect information)

Thank you so much, this rly helped. Also, yeah, discourse it just......blegh.

(Also super sorry for implying the whole pronouns=gender thing, twasnt intended)

Gordon: We took your advice and spoke to him about it, we told him that we want to have the same treatment as the others, and he agreed to let us front, little by little of course, because he's still having trouble getting use to all of us, especially myself and others like Barney and the such, but I think it went well. Thank you for your advice! I think he'll be more comfortable with us the more time we spend together.

Yo, I've recently let my boyf know that I'm part of a system, and he says he loves all of us, but constantly puts down the fictives, and says he doesn't want to interact with them and that they don't count. Thoughts?

Don't take my advice too seriously because I'm tired, but I'd say either tell him to stop being an ass and act like fictives aren't just as much alters and people as the rest of you or dump his ass. We've made a few posts about fictives and the way singlets treat us, and don't take any shit from singlets or non fictives. -William

literally just started playing Payday 2 and already implementing my own headcanon for one (1) singular character. i diagnose Joy with transmasc syndrome. i dont make the rules. I play the character and I choose the identical identity.

I really like Freemance, I really like Freehoun. I also think Alyx Half Life and Chell Portal should be girlfriends. I think Alyx and Chell and Gordon and Barney should go on double dates together. I just think they’re neat.

I also firmly believe Alyx should kiss these two guys on the cheeks. As a treat.

Okay but hear me out. Hermaeus Mora teaching Miraak how to read. Like, for some reason, maybe he never had a reason to, Miraak never learned how to read. Eventually, he winds up in Apocrypha, and Mora has to go deal with a mortal or something, and Miraak has nothing to do. Mora comes back, expecting to find his Champion reading, cause hey, it's a whole realm of books and knowledge. But he finds a disgruntled Miraak sitting on the steps, and thats how he figures out Miraak can't read. And every few hours after Miraak's had his rest, Mora would sit down with the easiest book in Apocrypha and help Miraak learn the alphabet and different sounds and words, and eventually, Mora has to leave again, maybe congratulating the LDB on retrieving the Oghma Infinium, and comes back to Miraak reading fluently to a group of Seekers or something. And Mora has never been so proud of himself.
