Topic	Transmen Are Triggered Over Lil Nas X Saying He Likes Dick
mooreandrew58 07/28/21 6:45:32 PM #71:	action52 posted... The person making the tweet has a point. Using terms like "dick" and "pussy" as synonyms for "man" and "woman" low key implies that this is a "normal" or "real" man/woman. If people stopped using terms like this it would help make trans people feel more normal and accepted. But no one using those terms is trying to be trans exclusionary. The vast majority of people don't even think of things that way. If you're going out of your way to be trans inclusive you should stay away from that sort of language (and I do personally)... but I don't know how productive it is to go around calling out anyone and everyone who uses the expression. I think situations like this call for what some people refer to as "calling in" rather than "calling out." Kindly and politely inform the person then invite them to be better, rather than immediately being negative and accusatory. I also wonder how much the people here are acting in good faith. Was the first response to Lil Nas a sincere effort to make things better, or to increase their own level of fame by targeting a celebrity? Did the other people reply because they genuinely wanted to educate, or because it feels good to join in piling on someone on social media? Probably a mix of both but maybe more the latter than the former. Of course I also question how much people are acting in good faith when they bring up twitter randos who have little to no cultural influence... When I say I like dick I mean literally dick. If I say I like men though I do mean men with dicks. When people say they like dick they probably mean that its what they prefer to play with in bed I.e. sucking or getting fucked. Sorry but a transman that still has a vagina is probably the hardest sell to me for having sex with. I've met one lesbian that did the whole cuttimg her hair and dressing like a dude that I would have had sex with (if she hadn't been fully lesbian at least). She still had a effeminate face and voice though. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
