No, I was thinking the latter - the former example with at least one MtF partner should just be lesbians, because they both identify as female, no?
But if they're identifying as a guy, but still identifying as lesbian, doesn't that kind of dilute the fact that they're identifying as a guy?
Taking that gender identity at face value, shouldn't any relationship under it identify as gay/straight (dependent on which partner(s) are FtM)?
Not my pig, not my farm. Imma let the queers be queer and just try my best.
Fair enough. I'm generally a live and let live type of person - but this scenario just seems like a living contradiction to me, so I'm struggling to understand it.
Also, having just looked at my own reply, sorry if my line of questions came off as needlessly confrontational - was not my intention, I was just curious were others line up on this.
I didn't get that vibe from you. I was just saying that thinking about it too rigorously just makes being an ally more difficult than it needs to be.
I understand, I am confused by it as well, but as you said it, live and let live. It truly doesn't affect me, one way or the other, as long as no one is getting hurt (non consensually) and everyone is having fun, then it has no bearing on my life, so I don't trouble myself with it. Let me know your pronouns, and I'll address you as such, the rest doest matter to me!
