Gender Discussion #53

[katyazamo]

Can anyone explain what is the difference between a) being asexual and b) being at the far left of the spectrum of sexual libido, where 0 is zero libido and 10 is permanently horny (obviously most people fluctuate throughout life anyway).

Why does it need a special name?

It's useful for a lot of people to have a name for it would be my immediate answer.

It can be more than lack of libido. Some asexual people don't experience sexual attraction at all, some have no interest in a romantic relationship. Not having sexual desire or even attraction can be distressing. As mentioned in another post, society is completely driven by sex. So you're led to believe something is wrong with you for not feeling that way.

Just an anecdote but a friend of mine is asexual and she put herself in a lot of unsafe situations with me when she was younger, trying to sleep with as many as possible to try and find some sort of sexual desire or attraction. It never happened but had she been aware of asexuality at the time, things would have turned out very differently.

Started watching Survivor but switched off when one of the contestants announced they were NB. Another one too stupid to understand that gender bollocks is regressive.

They 50+yo men who transition into women never want to look like women their age. They don't want to shop in M&S and pick up a nice challis blouse and matching cardi and some elasticated trousers. They want to look and act like teens, specifically teens in fetish style clothing. Brain rot from porn I think.

And even the best of them who try to pass, always find it impossible to tuck in that one thing that's a dead giveaway - their male entitlement.

Your comment made me think of my dear Aunty and her experiences. She nursed men’s urology for years and looked after a lot of the first “sex change” patients as they were called back then. There were similar rules to access the surgery as there are now to get a GRC. She always found a clear divide between the AGPs and genuine dysphoric cases, telling by their choice of post-op wardrobe. The AGPs would bring in heels, lingerie and “sexy” outfits whereas the dysphoric group would bring comfy nighties, skirt suits/twinsets and comfortable slippers like a woman recovering from surgery would wear. Not sure what the point of my posting this is, I suppose I wonder how she would find things today if she still practiced.

Here are some more pictures of ‘Sophia’, a genitally intact father of four. I’m asking myself why a clear AGP has been given a position on the core team revising the BACP national ethical framework. I’m beginning to think the world is completely fucked.

Because they are all so wrapped up in appearing to be inclusive and “kind” and non discriminatory, they have lost all sense of what’s decent and what isn’t. Why they hell would anyone give this dodgy looking bloke any responsibility for anything. He wants tagging and pointing at in the street. Most people can recognise a perv when they see one and tell their female friends and relatives to keep well away.
He’s proved he’s a pervert with his rapist comment. Dodgy fucker

thank you for discussing this with empathy your friend’s experience is sadly very true/common, and i hope she’s in a better/more comfortable headspace about it all now.

This thread made me laugh:

I am adopting ‘In a world where you can be anything, be quiet’ as my manta for almost every situation in life!

On that same Twitter (or ‘X’ ) thread, someone posted this:

I would write more about this, but my eyes literally just rolled right out of my head, so sadly I cannot.

Transparent Day. Yup. They're certainly that!

This is exactly what I've always thought.people who are gender dysphoria just want to blend in, not draw attention to themselves (and have a real idea about how post any kind of operation women would dress it seems). Just men wanting the focus on themselves as usual I guess

In a world where we are meant to have gender and sexual equality. Why then is it mainly mothers in the UK who are giving up their careers and full time work to look after their children? (because childcare is too expensive and difficult to find)

This isnt sexual or gender equality!

This is truly disturbing. The kids need taken into care and fast.
