    But why would the poster want to date General Grievous? He’s successful and has a stable job, sure, but he’s a bit obsessive. Especially about the lightsaber collection. I think he might already be in a relationship with Obi-wan anyway…

    Hey quick question for any cis people reading this: do you think this is a transphobic joke, a trans-inclusive joke, or someone’s genuine identity?

    the correct answer

    Half B, half C

          Your identity is no less comical than the “one joke”.

          Your argument are part of why Republicans committed so hard to target trans people. You’re assertive about a ridiculous interpretation of gender identity, very few can take you seriously and they do it at their own expense. Their rights were sacrificed because you wanted to call yourself a fucking dragon rider as a gender identity.

          I’m not being flippant about this. I’m genuinely quite certain that the impact this kind of extremely liberal and wide reaching interpretation of gender had on the LGBTQ topic was extremely negative and directly caused the general public to have significantly less understanding and empathy for the cause, starting a little over 10 years ago when the internet was hit with the gender chart, furries, and that girl who was interviewed about pretending to be a wolf. It was so effective at destroying LGBTQ support and momentum that it might as well have been a Christian Fundamentalist psy-op.

            No, drag is pretty sure the one sacrificing trans people’s rights is the person in this conversation who wants to control how other people identify.

              Read the additions I made to the comment, I’ll paste the whole thing here:

                There are gay people who say bi people’s existence makes a mockery of them. And bi people who say accepting trans people is hurting the queer movement. But that’s the OPPOSITE of how this works.

                First they came for the Communists
                And I did not speak out
                Because I was not a Communist
                Then they came for the Socialists
                And I did not speak out
                Because I was not a Socialist
                Then they came for the trade unionists
                And I did not speak out
                Because I was not a trade unionist
                Then they came for the Jews
                And I did not speak out
                Because I was not a Jew
                Then they came for me
                And there was no one left
                To speak out for me

                Solidarity is strength and you choose weakness. You’re hurting the trans community.

                  I do not care, where I draw the line excludes accepting your nonsense.

                  What the fuck is the point of your identity? We all know you’re neither riding nor “riding” dragons. Is the whole point of your shtick to let people know you buy and use giant fantasy dildos, or what? “My gender identity is being a prolific consumer of fantasy smut”?

                  Either way I’m pretty sure you don’t get to speak for the fucking trans community. Furries and scalies aren’t trans, they’re not transitioning into animals. What the fuck is your argument there? You transitioned to the third person? Fuck off.
