encouraged to identify as trans
ENCOURAGED BY WHO??? GO OUTSIDE, OPEN YOUR EYES, AND NOTICE THAT EVERYONE HATES US AND WANTS US GONE
"The trans mafia is turning all the butches into boys :rage-cry: "
Feeling like shit and getting disowned by your parents
Honestly think this is pretty much guaranteed to happen when I come out the closet as bi eventually, and I'm really not looking forward to it.
You don't have to come out, and you shouldn't if it's unsafe to do so. Sucks, but safety first.
"user BrookeBaybee on the website Chapo.Chat really has far reaching influence, huh?"
Its fear mongering stories from allegedged discord groups trying to convert kids into being trans for the sake of kinky shit. its bs since becoming trans is a huge process and doesnt come from the whim of some rando onlines
efforts to get lesbians to breed in captivity have largely failed, and the WWF has changed their conservation status from "endangered" to "critically endangered."
We are itinerant and migrate to mate
Edit: unlike the dastardly gays including Mr. Greenwald, lesbians have adapted to colder climates. Unfortunately, climate change has become a critical threat to the lesbian population and their breeding grounds
This conjured an image in my head of a bunch of women wearing earmuffs and flannel just standing around in a snowy forest, drinking steaming cups of coffee.
Pretty much this but with exquisite teas instead of coffee, and add in LL bean boots and sweatpants.
Edit: I must add that the straights have some for some of these items. Cabin core folks specifically
Cabin core folks.
What's up with cabin core this and cottage core that, I'm a haunted house bisexual personally.
I wonder if the pandas just want some goddamn privacy (and maybe to not have to live in such a tiny cramped space that's unnatural for megafauna their size) before they even think about fucking.
Trans isn't a sexual orientation... literally comparing apples to oranges here.
like, a descriptor that is definitionally restricted to only women is less represented in the data than one that includes all genders. wild how that works.
Loving the huuugggee increase in the amount of people who identify as bisexual.
Bi gang :hexbear-bi-2: :hexbear-bi: :flag-bi-pride:
:sicko-yes:
Why do they worry about the trans increase when they should be worried about us? Soon we'll get them! :hexbear-bi-2:Oh you didn't see my followup comment. He's worried about the bi increase too.
That number is probably way more. For me (in a hetro marriage) I don't know what I would identify as. I don't feel I should call myself bi but I'm not ruling it out either. I'm sure there are DOZENS of us.
Gang Gang.
Also, tbh, does anyone else sometimes question their own sexuality? Like I feel attracted to men, but it's much more selective and specific than my attraction to females (like so far, I haven't had any inclination to have a one-night stand w/ a man, compared to women).
That's normal and perfectly valid. For some people it's the other way round. I just swing all over the place with regards to this
I was gay before I was bi but I also feel like that because sometimes dudes are gross, but also because internalised homophobia early on probably fucked with my brain.
I think of myself as attracted to men a lot more than women. But at the same time I have very specific taste in men and much broader in women. Sexuality is weird
i have occasionally enjoyed doing sexual stuff in my head with men recently, but have never been attracted to an actual real man, whereas i have with many women and notice women i find attractive all the time.
Oh it’s just a fairly common thing in the furry fandom for a person to be attracted to male anthropomorphic characters but not to actually existing men.
I think there's a term for that - "biromantic", maybe?
I feel like a very similar question to yours has come up before and that was the term, at least.
I suspect the greater visibility of transwomen has forced a lot of traditionally cishet men to re-evaluate their professed heterosexuality.
I mean a straight guy who is attracted to cis women and trans women isn't necessarily bisexual. If he's only attracted to women, he's straight.
Now femboys, there's something that might be having a lot of cishet men questioning their sexuality lol.
Yeah but at a falling rate damn it, Glenn is just endorsing empirical evidence of TRLF, Tendency of Rate of Lesbianism to Fall. He should just move on to value form lesbianism smh.
I mean, maybe he approaches the point that some trans people may have identified differently in the past when being trans was more difficult or less accepted, but literally what's the point? Gay people were a lot more likely to stay closeted in the past. With trans identity becoming more acceptable, to the broader public it makes sense that the same would occur with trans people who would have been inclined to live their life closeted. The fact that they are not currently isn't because of some weird conspiracy.
Cannot imagine what the useful application of this point of view is supposed to be, other than some conservative nonesense about stopping basically anything that benefits trans people. These people will always say they support trans people, but that somehow things are just going too far, but that only serves to delegitimize trans people.
Also can we talk about the fact that Glen is basically saying this but unironically if you take out the gay
We need to be concerned about the population decline among...
checks notes
the Millennial/Gen-Z lesbian demographic?..
confused CHUD noises
Well, yes. Conservatives often fetishize lesbians. They're probably worried they'll run out of lesbian porn.
Wait till they find out most of the women performing in mainstream lesbian porn are doing gay for pay or are bi (at least I believe thats the case?)
Trans contains all genders and lesbians contain only one. Of course lesbians should be a smaller group

Did Greenwald fail high school statistics? Of course bi people are going to be in more opposite sex relationships, simply because there are many more people who identify as straight. Like come on, this is basic maths Glenn.
Let's do high school level statistics
Let's take the percentages from his Gen Z stats and apply it to a group of 10000 people, assuming 5000 male and 5000 female, and equally split unisex qualifiers(CW: i'll use sex and gender interchangably to avoid small subgroups):
Men: 575 bisexual 210 gay 90 trans 20 other 4105 cishet
Women: 575 bisexual 140 lesbian 90 trans 20 other 4175 cishet
Let's take the case of bi-men: Of all the 10k people in this group, they have 5755 available partners(i assumed all trans+other people are attracted to both genders to make this analogy even more favorable to Greenwald): 4175 cishet women, 575 bisexual women, 90 trans women, 20 'other' women, 90 trans men, 20 'other' men, 575 bisexual men, 210 gay men.
Possible choice of men partner for bi-men: 15.5% Possible choice of women partner for bi-men: 84.5%
In the case of bi-women it's 14.7% to 85.3%
Greenwald is stupid.
Glenn Greenwald is not your friend. (Eli Valley comic)
He and his platform can be useful to the left at times, sure. He is not on our side and he is not our friend.
Saw a pretty poignant comment on twitter that it's fine for leftists to go on Tucker Carlson, but not if you get invited back.
As a cis lesbian, I'm so glad to have people like... checks notes...male Glen Greenwald and heterosexual woman JK Rowling looking out for my interests.
As we all know, the only trans people are FTM, making the comparison to solely the lesbian subset a totally valid one. Also, please ignore that the relative number of women identifying as lesbian has increased 600%.
Being against BLM protests because they were some sort of Democratic party ploy was a big one. https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1271600310935568385?s=20
Also Greenwald likes going on Tucker Carlson and talks alot about how "echo chambers" are ruining everything https://www.mediaite.com/tv/glenn-greenwald-defends-going-on-tucker-carlsons-show-despite-barrage-of-criticism/
He's so against censorship that he's defending anti-vaxxers in the middle of a pandemic, calling Facebook's censorship the destruction of "free thought' https://nypost.com/2021/02/10/greenwald-blasts-facebook-for-censoring-covid-vaccine-opinions/
I'd describe those views as libertarian or both-sides-y rather than reactionary, but I agree they're all cringe. This new TERF stuff is truly reactionary IMO.
