      It’s so forced that we’re kind’ve getting used to it. Tell people that think it’s gender neutral to “have sex with dudes” and see how they react.

      It’s always just been about stubbornness and the unwillingness to change, despite being extremely contextual, at best. Force the overall culture before changing a shitty perspective of seeing your trans friend as masculine person that fits into your group of guys. It’s really toxic, selfish, and manipulative imo. And because boys are hot and I’m dumb and weak, I excuse it sometimes, but I really shouldn’t, we should all know better.

        while it definitely depends on the person, language is a versatile thing. consider all the varieties of meaning simple words like “fuck” have. it’s not at all unusual to have words with conflicting contextual definitions.
