“Every Time Someone Steps Up And Says Who They Are, The World Becomes A Better, More Interesting Place.

“Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place. So… thank you.”

okay im gonna say it. if you're not transmasc, you don't get to have an opinion about forcemasc. personally it's not my thing, but again, if you're not transmasc it's none of your business. it's not your place to call it misogynist or say it's not a real kink or whatever the fuck. let trans men have one thing, the world doesn't revolve around you

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

A brief lesson on why relying on generative AI for sex ed is harmful:

A screenshot of a Google query showing the following search: do cis women like trans men

The search results read as follows: Yes, some cisgender men are attracted to transgender women, with a significant minority of heterosexual men experiencing sexual interest in trans women, though it's important to remember that attraction is individual and not all cis men will be attracted to trans women; some may even hold negative views about trans women due to societal biases. 

Key points to consider:

Individual variation:
Just like with any population, individual preferences vary greatly, and not all cisgender men will be attracted to trans women. 

Perceived femininity:
Some cis men might be attracted to trans women because they present with feminine characteristics that align with their personal preferences. 


Social stigma:
Some men might be hesitant to express attraction to trans women due to social stigma or misunderstanding about transgender identities. 

Misogyny concerns:
Research suggests that in some cases, attraction to trans women can be linked to misogynistic attitudes, where men may objectify or disrespect cisgender women while claiming attraction to trans women.

Okay Google, what the fuck is this?

This is so concerning... The Google Gemini AI overview is clearly so confused by the existence of trans men.

A screenshot of a Google query: "can transgender men have relationships with women"

Google's returned result is "An AI Overview is not available for this search"

I'm not sure if it's better or worse that Gemini isn't even trying to answer the same question, but rephrased.

A Google search query for: "Who do transgender men date?"

The AI generated overview is as follows: 

Trans men can date a variety of people, including women, men, and queer people, and their sexual orientation can vary: 

Women
Some trans men date heterosexual women. However, dating can be difficult for trans men, and some straight women may be looking for something they don't have. 

Men
Some trans men identify as gay and are primarily attracted to other men. However, trans men may have less success integrating socially within cisgender gay men's communities. 

Queer people
Some trans men date queer women, who may be less invested in a person's gender and sexual anatomy when choosing a partner. 

Lesbian community
Some trans men have histories with the lesbian community or feel they identify better with it. Many trans men have previously identified as lesbian, often as a "butch lesbian". 

Trans men can have any sexual orientation, including queer, pansexual, bisexual, or gay/same-gender loving. A 2015 survey of about 2,000 American trans men found that 23% identified as heterosexual or straight.

The phrasing "some straight women may be looking for something they don't have" rubs me the wrong way. Also, separating queer women from women in general is upsetting.

I'm conflicted on whether or not we should help Google with training Gemini, but considering how many people rely on Google for information, I've come to the conclusion that--for now--it is worth it to always hit the "thumbs down" icon underneath the generations that turn up poorly and describe in detail what's wrong with the result. 👎

After all, when we tell people not to ask offensive questions to transgender people, the usual advice is "Go Google it!"

As distrustful as I am of Gemini's results, most people that I've met are more than willing to accept its responses at face value. At the very least, the average user seems to accept it for a quick and easy surface level response.

The HRC and PFLAG have much better resources on LGBTQIA+ identity and how to support your loved ones.

My pet peeve about the 'I suggest forcefem' and secret egg jokes

I think we've forgotten that forcefem is an actual kink and that part of kink, even CNC like forcefem, is that anyone you're exposing to it is consenting. Random bloggers are not consenting to having your kink suggested to them, even as a joke, it's really weird and uncomfortable.

Notice how there aren't gimmick blogs associated with other CNC practices? Because people generally know it's kind of rude to go around bringing your kink to people's attention especially to 'suggest' they take part.

But I guess you're just forgetting forcefem is a kink because the idea of being forced to be a girl is either hot to you or just 'kinda funny and not serious' because it's just femininity/being a girl which has never and never will cause any harm because of how soft and pure womanhood is right?

On top of that there's a fairly large population of trans men, trans masculine and trans neutral people on here who (unless they happen to have that kink or are particularly unbothered) probably don't want to have someone go 'the answer to this issue, problem or other statement is to allow someone to force you to be a girl'.

Inciting some kind of dysphoric or uncomfortable reaction in anyone even a cis person is a huge dick move even as a 'joke'. Just because it wasn't made to be taken seriously, doesn't mean it's not someone involving unconsenting people in their kink.

In the same vein people shouldn't have anyone questioning their gender and going 'haha you're probably trans!' especially when it's mostly 'you are probably trans femme'. Tell me you don't understand or appreciate gnc men, feminine trans men or men doing anything not commonly associated with being masculine without telling me. Not everything is a sign someone is actually a girl and if it is, you might push her way back into the closet by making it your business like that.

Basically it's really rude and inappropriate to play with people's emotions like that, especially involving a kink as part of it, just because you're not bothered and find it funny.
