Well north sea storm & metaldinosaur, y'all seem weirdly obsessed with strangers' genitals. I'm concerned with being forced to lie. It's a genuine concern. It's not a lie if you don't know the truth so unless you've carried out some sort of intimate inspection of all your acquaintances then all...

I'm concerned with being forced to lie. It's a genuine concern.

The idea that using someone's preferred pronoun is lying interesting perspective that I'd not considered before and entirely disagree with. For me it's more a lie than using someone's preferred nickname. The perception of sexuality and the physical response to it is a base mechanism. I do not feel ...

The only 2 I would have wanted.

Damn.
