Umm, yes? Thinking any form of genitalia is automatically unclean is bad.

We haven’t had any submissions or original posts in a few months. We still have over 800 followers (down from 1,000 earlier in the year, but still decent).

Feel free to make submissions! Feel free to ask us questions! We’ll still be here, even if this blog isn’t very active. -M

Not according to the definition I looked up, according to which “polyromantic” is the romantic analogue to “polysexual,” not “polyamorous.” -M

F/MAAB= Female/Male Assigned At Birth.

MRA= Men’s Right’s Activist.

It’s probably mainly because they see us as men.

And MRA’s are kind of pretty much all entitled assholes, so no, we should not work with them. There are reasons no one likes MRAs.

So yah.

Fuck them.

(I just got up so sorry if these answers to questions are kind of crappy)

Both of the binaries are social constructs. Also, brain sex is a real thing, but it exists on a spectrum, just as physical sex does.

-Karla

That’s quite a laundry list of identifiers you’ve got there! For the benefit of me and anyone reading, let’s try to clarify what those terms mean, first:

1. polyromantic - you are romantically attracted to several genders, though not necessarily all genders;
2. grey-ace - shortened form of grey asexuality, meaning you aren’t completely asexual but are close to it, on a “grey area” of the sexual spectrum;
3. non-binary - you identify your gender as neither wholly male nor wholly female;
4. DFAB - “designated female at birth”;
5. trans* - the asterisk indicates a more expansive reference than the term “transgender”, including genderfluid, agender, etc. in addition to the standard canon of transgender identities (trans man, trans woman, etc.)

Now as for what I think of asexuality… well, there’s not much to say. It exists. It’s a thing that’s perfectly fine to be. Our culture doesn’t give it a lot of respect, which is probably a Bad Thing.

I thought I was asexual for most of my life until I started to transition seriously; then I realized it was just my, er, “genital incongruence issue” and I really could have sexual feelings for people.

And those are my thoughts on asexuality. -Mir.

A ludicrous movement, predicated on a set of completely backwards assumptions. That said, like most movements, it presents some interesting and possibly valid hypotheses. That said, it’s still ludicrous to believe that “men’s rights” deserve much attention in a world where gender parity is still a pipe dream. -Miranda

Hey, Kinsey had a scale for a reason. People who identify as straight their whole lives sometimes realize they’re not as straight as they thought. I’m not going to sit here and spew some “enlightenment” bullshit - if you don’t like penises, that’s fine. I happen to love them (just not attached to my body).

But anyway, sexual attraction is an incredibly tricky beast. We have things like gender orientation and a romantic/sexual dichotomy for a reason. I don’t think it’s “cissexist” to have a genital preference. It’s cissexist to define your sexuality by those preferences and say, “I’m lesbian; I date women and trans men,” for instance.

As someone who intends to undergo what the oldies call SRS, I have a bit of sympathy for the competing view of some people who will only date post-operative trans women because they find it impossible to reconcile a penis with their own perception of sexuality. But what’s key is perception. Sexual orientation - including genital preference - is not necessarily genetic nor is it necessarily immutable. We just don’t know. -Miranda, rambling at you for the first time in months
