@mushycrouton We need longer term follow-up on ‘straight marriage’, but also objective measures of life functioning: leaving the house, employment, sex life, relationships… if these indicators do not perform well in a ‘heterosexual marriage’ for both partners, maybe we should ban it.

@Shelley61265352 Some of them really think that trans inclusion *reinforces* gender stereotypes because gender expression = gender identity, when it’s actually like, hey, there’s gender expression and gender identity and they can match, or not, and either is valid and good and neither is binding!

@DarkEden21 I’m all for TERFs dating each other, maybe it can help them feel less sexually frustrated and obsess less about trans people’s anatomy… but yeah, this isn’t Heaven 2.0, it sounds like a very sad and angry book club with no books.
