Because Democracy means that everyoneās opinions are equally valid, apparently

Of course some opinions are better than others, especially those that are delivered directly to right-wing xtian white guys from Godā¢ via metal filling revelation.

Sinfest has been really weird for the past several weeks. Itās like the author canāt distinguish trans rights, and recognition of non-binary people, from patriarchal gender-enforcement.

Resurrected, Attis has married Cybele.
But I wouldnāt think of Attis as uniquely Gād.
(I mean, how do you make comments like that without thinking āis this part of an existing myth?ā)

One British lesbian even promised to find Amy a wife, so she could stay in the UK and galvanise the struggling gender-critical movement here.
Which helps work around immigration restrictions, but if anyone else did it, I suspect gcers would condemn that as a form of prostitution.
Another perspective:

If anyoneās interested, a Twitch streamer I follow is about to be on what looks like an interesting panel:
Iāve tuned in to their gaming and political (leftist) chat streams, and Iāve found them informative and fun. And they could use more viewers tooā¦

Wellllllā¦
A while back, not too long after I started wearing a mask (sometime in late March, I think; we werenāt wearing them when we voted in the March primaries earlier in the month), Iād joined a FB group re LGBTQ history (I left it - there was some sniping, not directed at me, but just in general, and I have no patience for it, and ignoring everything meant I could miss something interesting), I began to think about my gender and sexual identities, starting with when I was a kid.
The one thing I could never understand is the āboys can, girls canātā; it seemed the only things boys couldnāt do were getting pregnant, giving birth, and breast-feed. Everything else that was remotely connected to being a woman, they werenāt supposed to do. It made no sense to me, and to heck with the fact thatās the way the world worked.
It didnāt help that, as my brother told me about a year ago, āDad had no idea how to raise a daughter.ā It was confusing to me, at least - hereās this guy, telling me Iām so smart I can do āanythingāā¦except what I wanted to do, which was to learn to do things like pitch a baseball and become the first female MLB pitcher; be the leader of my own band; be a writer; be an artist. Itās like it was okay for me to think about doing them, but not to actually figure out how to get to actually do them. Which made no sense to me.
(bear with me, I do have a point and will reach it soon)
I thought back to how I was a little girl, fighting off boys in kindergarten who were picking on my then-best friend; learning about cars so I could talk to my dad; not feeling like I should always wear jeans and t-shirts, but skirts and heels to school; and so many other things Iād thought Iād forgotten. I wondered - what am I? Iām attracted to people because of who they are, not just because they have a penis or a vagina between their legs (born with or no). I sometimes have really felt feelings that are generally ascribed to the male of the species.
So, it comes down to this : I was born with a womb and ovaries, but I donāt feel exclusively female; I donāt want to get a penis and testicles. I have no idea if I can be labeled so I donāt have to type that out all the time, LOL. But I have had very definite masculine feelingsā¦then, again, how do I know that, not being male? (muses) I could just call myself a bisexual male in a female body, I suppose?

I believe, (and I may be wrong here), that sounds something like what kids today would call genderqueer, or just queer for short. Where you have a bit of both gender roles, regardless of your actual physical sex. Itās the Q in LGBTQ.
And yes, that used to be an insult, but it seems the younger generations are reclaiming it. Itās ok to be queer now - sometimes feminine in a dress and sometimes masculine making fart jokes. At least, thatās my understanding of it.

Nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, genderfluid, gender non-conformingā¦ maybe one of those fits? Figuring out oneās own label can be difficult, but the way I understand it, ānonbinaryā is the most general of them.
The idea that I am āa manā really doesnāt resonate with me at all most of the time. (I kind of think men, or at least what society thinks men are, are confusing and ridiculousā¦ but to be fair, I am confusing and ridiculous, just in other ways). I know Iām not a woman either. Iām just me ā as simple but as complicated as that is. Most of the time, I donāt feel any particularly strong pull to being any particular gender. Sometimes I feel more strongly that my gender is something, just not what everyone thinks, or that I want to express my gender somehow and Iām frustrated that I canāt without long and tiresome explanations that quickly run into several walls.
I was AMAB, I have a bald head and a beard and the dangly bits and the XY chromosomes and an obviously male name. I donāt worry much about pronouns. I donāt have that much body dysphoria, but I do wish the flesh was less āworn out biker thugā and more Tilda Swinton/David Bowie.
