    I think she feels that the things listed under woman are being synonomized or otherwise associated with “woman”, and doesn’t like that. I don’t read it that way, but I can definitely see how she is, as the headers on each side work to that effect

      yis, fembois r not womn or transwomn!!! diffrnt!!! jus lik tombois r not transmascs or men!!! vrri tru n u totalli agee <3 <3 <3

      it rlli jus is that the top symbols mek me thnk “hmm comfi words on male side, uncomfi words on female… grr big sad ;(”

      it wud maybsies mek mor sens to hav somthin lik femboi flag on left side n like–.- ❌ symbol on othr… maybe. this way is vrri obvious what is meant n theres no side thats presentd “bad”

      Smorty is a chill girl, and based on previous interactions with her I try to give the benefit of the doubt. I think she interpreted the gender labels as headers rather than being items on the lists. I was trying to get her to re-evaluate her response, but this is the internet and subtlety is a lost cause. I should have just expressed what my actual opinion was, in plain english, instead of trying to be clever. This isn’t a dig at Smorty, but just an observation of internet culture at large. As for my actual opinion, expressed in plain english, that’s the hard part, i’m bad at actually describing my opinion, so that’s still in progress.
