When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

    You did it again.

    • Sex is the physical plumbing
    • Gender is the self-perception
    • Sexual orientation is the partner preference

    Just because someone got born with X plumbing and everyone just assumed they would feel like X gender since birth, does not mean they will. That’s what “gender assigned at birth” means: an uninformed assumption.

        People who care about the difference between some things, tend to use different terms for them. Insisting on disregarding what they consider important, tends to make them feel insulted, which in this online setting, currently translates to getting blocked, reported, banned, or defederated.
