I have seen so many Cishet Anons (including me) ask questions on this board but create new threads in doing so. So I decided to make this thread so we don’t have to clutter up the board.

>>8475I don't think what your brain feels most comfortable with is necessarily entirely socially constructed. Like there is social pressure for people to maintain a healthy weight, but it feels better for other reasons. And yeah it feels nice when they get touched but i didn't really feel that was worth mentioning.
>>8489I guess you’re right, I mean clothes are also socially constructed too. I just assumed as a Man that having boobs must be a burden since they serve no bodily purpose other than to feed babies which only benefits the baby and not the person with the bosom. However I guess the same thing applies to having Balls though.
>>8332Mostly they're an inconvenience. If you imagine having big bags of stuff on your front at all times, always getting in the way, except they're also connected to you with skin and nerves and also function as an erogenous zone, you've pretty much got it. The amount of physical activities they prevent you from doing without a good bra is honestly impressive, because they really are just big bags constantly pulling at your nerves if you let gravity get involved. You can't run or even jog if they're big enough. I have no idea how humanity coped before the invention of the bra. I know some women are lucky enough to either have only small breasts or be better able to cope without a bra through some other quirk, but that's not my experience. My genes gave me massive gazongas, which are helpful for passing, and I'm grateful for that, but seriously, ouch.
How come heterosexual-transpeople are so rare? According to Wikipedia only 17.6% of trans people are straight, and from my personal experience I have never met a straight trans person. Im not saying this like its a bad thing of course but I just thought it was interesting, is it a coincidence or does it have something to do with heteronormative cultural norms lingering from their pre-transitioned childhood which causes them to still be attracted to the gender that they eventually transitioned to?
>>8661my opinion is that more cis people are bisexual or have some amount of sexual fluidity that they either will never explore or are unwilling to own up to in a poll. Transpeople who already have pushed up boundaries are more willing to interrogate themselves. Also sometimes people transition in the middle of their life, maybe they are already had a heterosexual marriage with a family, so they just kind of "go with it if it's working" and what their true sexuality is stops being so important. I am a straight transperson at least, so there you go.
>>8662Oh okay that makes sense
>>8661For me, I've always felt that it's hard to relate to someone close enough to be in love if they aren't experiencing the world in the same way that I am. Like, if I'm not a man, how could I understand a man enough to love him? Etc. I felt this way before transitioning, too, feeling that it wasn't my place to love women because I didn't know what they were going through. So I've been gay my whole life, it's always in relation to how I currently identify.
In short, to quote Turanga Leela, "You're a man, I'm a woman - we're just too different."
>>8674Well if people hit on you and you are not interested just say so?
>>8676That's all well and good if someone is bold and direct, but if I'm not sure if someone's hitting on me or not, it gets a bit messy - I don't want to falsely accuse someone of it.
If there was a way to let people know from the start, like hanky code type messaging, then great. I'd use a finsexual/finromantic flag but I'm guessing exactly 0 people would recognize it, and I don't know if a (non-conservative) straight flag could be mistaken for offensive or prideful.

Can a nonbinary person be gay? Wouldn't that reintroduce a new binary? But no sane person would want to be heterosexual, so how do nbs resolve this contradiction?

Not only is the base idea chauvinistic, but you've transplanted that chauvinism to a context where it makes even less sense. Circle back, and reassess why you care that much about outdated labels like 'gay' and 'straight' and 'hetero'.
>>8742NBs who score a 6 on the kinsey scale (only attracted to other NBs) are gay
>>8681Kids these days can't just be straight, gotta make up a gay-sounding word for "straight"
If many hetfoids are LGBT "allies", why do they only want to hang out with gay guys yet act bitter towards lesbians just because these hetfoids think that the lesbian is attracted to them, but not the other way?

Now for a question: is there a point in dating trans women as a straight men when the vast majority are trans lesbians?
>Sensitive mods removing the obligatory "kill straight men" postshmmm… suspicious
>>8830You miss every shot you don't take.
>>8832Why would one date women who loudly announce their lesbianism?
>>8837If you already known the answer to your own question, then why posit it? Did you just want to throw a little cissy fit over transwomen not being interested?

I need some supporting evidence that an individual's gender is not a primarily social phenomenon. What are some cases which supports the idea of innate gender?
(I am familiar with John Money's attempt to raise David Reimer as a girl, I want other examples too)
>>8909>Why are there so many openly homosexual reactionary/chauvinist politicians?Where's the contradiction?
Most reactionaries aren't pure 200% reactionary about everything, and I'd wager that most people hold syncretic ideological jumbles rather than any cohesive worldview - like the anti-immigration immigrant who doesn't realize they're next on the chopping board.
I personally know an anti-privitization centre-right voter, and an environmentalist centre-right voter who is respectful towards queer people. Both also consider themselves to be anti-racist.
I don't know enough to say if it's a coping/overcompensation, or if there is simply normal variation, but I suspect they just stand out so much due to the apparent contradiction in values, that we notice them more.
>>8909The overton window has shifted so much that it's now acceptable. Some of Hitler's top guys infamously had gay tendencies, but they felt the need to hide it. Now you've got guys like Peter Thiel running around championing religions, parties, and philosophies that were advocating for putting gays in jail twenty years ago (and would again if they could, but have mostly given up). I think some right-wingers are trying to find ways to turn back the clock, but it's a futile effort at this point.
>>9006> like the anti-immigration immigrant who doesn't realize they're next on the chopping board.Or a better example, the anti-queer 'libertarian'. FREEDOM FOR THEE.
Im into this guy who presents very femininely but also does hrt. They might be trans but idrc. No i am not bi I am gay, how can this be explained?
>>9010Internalized biphobia is very common.
>>9010>how can this be explained?By not using oversimplified frameworks like 'straight'/'gay'/'bi'.
>>9010You’re attracted to that person in particular, just approach them as a full human and be as honest as possible about your feelings and go from there
>>9020Because you're a snack and I'd eat your boyhole.
>>9023Do you know how many hands have been in there?
