I am a cis straight and I find that a hostile work environment. I’d never ask a coworker about sex in any circumstance, on the job or off. I’d only talk about sex with good friends who I knew were comfortable with it, and I’d honestly never begin such a conversation.

If you think that's nuts, wait till you get to the part where my boss laughs at me for ordering a glass of Jack Daniles on the rocks instead of beer. Because my drink just came in a small scotch glass instead of one of those tall, thin glasses with a beer label on the side.

From an account of another transperson I've heard (FtM in that case), there is apparently a marked change in attraction style during transition. In his case, he went from an internal reaction of "Oh, I'd love to go talk to that lady!" to one of "pornographic" things.

Granted, that's just two anecdotes and I don't make a habit of asking anyone how their sexual attraction manifests, so it could just not be applicable to the wider community. (Or be the result of different factors entirely from whatever the dominant chemicals are.)

Still, I wouldn't be especially surprised that the gender hormones influence sexuality in different ways, at the very least.

Yeah, people's sexuality flipping because of HRT is not unusual.

:sigh: TAL, and really NPR in general, is another one of those Liberal institutions that don't exist to REALLY push America Leftward. It's purpose is to make sure center left people feel good abut themselves without actually trying to help people. And as long as you subscribe to a certain thing, you are given access. For example Laci Green calling herself a feminist while hanging out more and more with Alt-Righters and her most recent video...

Ok So I just tried to watch her most recent video "Is Drag OK For Kids??" First she talks to an Actual Drag Queen. Then she talks to Ian Miles Chong and I had to stop the video because. WHY THE gently caress ARE YOU TALKING TO IAN MILES CHONG ON ANYTHING RELATED TO QUEER ISSUES! You might as well Grab Tim Allen to explain to me why I need to be a real man because he knows just as much about trans people as Ian does about drag.

Side tracked, but my point is as long as you call yourself a feminist you can get away with saying what ever the gently caress you want and be applauded for it by liberals.

Seriously? Why Chong? You couldn't find one Drag Queen you had a problem with kids doing drag? Because I know they exist.

Seriously, though-- what does IMG actually-- um-- do? Like, I see he has lots of followers, but I also see that he's earned his title of "The Wrongest Man on the Internet". Because he's wrong about literally everything. Everytime. Often wrong about something twice, in different ways, in the same tweet.

Did he, like, used to be an amazing Toe Jam & Earl speedrunner, and then accidentally got brain damage from fellating a cactus, and now everyone just follows him out of inertia and sympathy?

From what I always hear, he was this super woke feminist until Feminist Frequency criticized The Witcher 3's handling of the female lead in that. Then he wen't full Gamergate/Alt-Right on a dime.

I think part of it is also because South Park talks about whatever is relevant at the time, going back to older episodes is really weird. Especially when you watch their stuff from the Bush years +10 later and realize "Wow...you two had no idea what you were talking about." There are a lot of South Park episodes like that that REALLY do not hold up. And then there is the fact that I know about three people at my office who are real life Eric Cartmans.

I also think that animation aimed at an older audience as a whole has upped its game. The Venture Bros, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman, all of them have that edge to them while still being ABOUT something. Something usually a lot of people can relate to.

South Park is still fundamentally the same show it was when it first debuted. And it’s core message at this point feels like “caring about stuff makes you an idiot, no matter what that is” and...well gently caress that.

Updating a story previously posted about - a couple weeks ago Matt Conn left his positions at GaymerX and Midboss (makers of 2064: Read Only Memories) following accusations of sexual harassment. Now his replacement, Toni Rocca, has ended up lasting all of a couple of weeks before leaving both companies after allegations of sexual harassment being made against her. Both companies have new CEOs now and have officially cut ties with each other.

This whole story makes me angry, what with the way that GaymerX was always represented. It took money from the community and used it to present a space for LGBTQ folk in gaming, and all the while this poo poo's going on behind closed doors. Kind of upsetting. TBH I really don't see how they can survive this - the whole aim of the project (in public anyway) was to present a "safe space" for people, and clearly it has failed miserably in a blaze of allegations of terrible behaviour, threats to ruin careers if sexual advances are turned down and other such awfulness. The culture of Midboss too, was one of mismanagement and misorganisation...kind of familiar.

It seems like there's another wave of people who act virtuous all the time in public suddenly getting badly exposed for who they actually are. Between this and Brandon Boyer and obviously the CA stuff...hoo boy.
