"In 6’2, 225 pounds with about 10% body fat. I look like a man. I act like a man. Nobody has confused me for anything but a man."

My gf who goes to a different Lemmy instance said that I'm way more badass than this guy actually

As my gf says, I wanted you because you're all man

Lmao said no woman ever

Don't ask me what I identify as

But he also says

Don't call me cis. I don't identify as cis

We don't know what you look like bud. You're on the internet.

People complaining about being called cis will never stop being funny. This fear of being seen as anything but "normal" is literal middle schooler shit, embarrassing.

Cis fragility is a sight to behold

10% bf

He's lying, I can already see the dialog tree:

No I haven't done a DEXA

No I don't actually work out anymore but I used to do high school wrestling and the coach there told me I was 6% bf and I'm a bit chubbier now so 10% seems right.

What do you mean I've been lied to?

As I said I go to the gym, I'm not a cardiobunny.

Why do you want to know how much I squat?

Why do you say that I don't lift?

Why do you want to know these things I'm a manly man not a soyboy cuck beta like you.

Homeboy is just posting fanfic of himself for the whole world to see. Why yes, I sleep in a massive bed with many naked ladies.

I don't identify as cis

So you're trans then?

"I don't identify as cis" bruh imagine being more annoying than any tumblr user

See it's people like this that make me feel like I'm a fucking brain genius. Bro i graduated 4 years late and never did post secondary education.

Hmm "cis" seems like it's from a different language like latin or some shit "10 seconds of googling later" oh the first use of cis with regards to gender was in the early 1900s

Why can't people just learn first then have a stupid opinion after?

"Women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence."

I had a look at their posting history and after about 30 seconds - I found something funny.

They are a conservative but they support unions. etc.

Calls for Starbucks boycott grow amid aggressive union-busting activities - Hexbear

I’m not a fan of their coffee at all. I work in sales, so if a customer wants it. I buy it but otherwise I skip them.

I don’t like their union bashing but I’d have to be a customer to boycott it.

I’m a conservative but I support unions. It’s a check and balance to the system. We need strong unions. I also fully support unions being on the board of companies.

I could rant how I dislike boards. They’re supposed to keep things running and they do a shit Job. They do a great job of making everyone focus on the ceo who is controlled by the board.

It's amazing how some simple questions about what gender means can get someone to show their whole ass.

angrily emphasizing how much of a big strong man you are definitely means you're very confident in being a man, huh?

the most truly masculine men i've ever met never felt the need to be this aggressive about how strong and manly they are.

:copium: women are drawn to me

Very tempted to @ them here and say "Since you're not at all fragile about your manly cis-ness you won't have any issue with posting pics of this extreme hunk of manly man-ness." so they can shrivel up like a corncob and disappear.

Absolute here.

when i got to the bit about "i dance like a man and take it like a man" or whatever performative signifiers he's grasping at, all i could hear in my head is the hook from 1963 hit Walk Like A Man, featuring the powerful falsetto voice of Newark's native son Francesco Stephen Castelluccio aka "Frankie Valli" in the Four Seasons. if you remember, he also played Rusty Millio in The Sopranos.

Walk like a man, talk like a man
Walk like a man, my son

I am a cis man, but there where multiple times where I got misgendered as a woman, despite having a three-day beard. I don’t buy the whole you can always tell.

Genuine question: what's the best way to cut through this kind of talking point?

The best I can come up with is "terms created by marginalized people to describe how people do or do not relate to mainstream society are different from terms imposed by the majority society to coerce marginalized people into a box, and refusing a label in order to obstruct understanding isn't the same as refusing a label imposed by majority society". Like, I don't see any problem to use words used to describe the "normal" identity (cis, hetero, etc) for people that do not express any desire to deviate from the "normal" identity in any way for the sake of improving the understanding of marginalized people. But I'm not sure that's convincing to someone who doesn't already agree (perhaps not for the sake of convincing the person you're arguing with, but the onlooking bystanders).

It's just such an annoying tactic because the bad faith is usually obvious but it's hard to clearly formulate why. I guess it basically just boils down to "more allowances should be given to the people on the bottom than the people on the top", but some of the people on top never stop complaining about that.

Hawthorne was a bear of a man

As my gf says, I wanted you because you're all man. My last gf said the same thing.

This is a bit

everyone step aside, 'unquestionable man' coming through!

yeah he is correct on him acting male at least. now please look at this cute pit

What a bizarre take. I could be this dude to a "T" (though I'm a touch taller and have a little bit more body fat, if we're being pedantic) and I have zero issue with pronouns at all because I'm that secure. Like, if you don't care as the super secure male alpha you're pretending to be, then you really don't care if you have to add pronouns. Because you don't care.

Homeboy does care. And that's pretty weak.

Guess he's not the alpha he pretends to be.

Im 9'2, 700 pounds with 30% body fat. I look like a hexbear. I act like a hexbear. Nobody has ever confused me for anything other than a Hexbear

A lot of my self-understanding as nonbinary, though, comes from

.

Most of the trans women in my life had a womanly demeanor, even pre-transition. Most of the trans men in my life likewise had a manly demeanor.

The number one way I defend trans people's existence and validity in the face of criticism or scrutiny is by saying "if you see them a certain gender at first glance or at a distance, and that's the gender they want, you can't just change your mind about it, your gut already told you the truth".

Idk it's kinda weird if we say that gender is a social construct and then deny the composition of its social construction.

How do they calculate the body fat? Do they submerge him in a tube graduated cylinder to see how much water he has displaced to get his density?

So, if they don't identify as cisgender then wouldn't they be trans or nonbinary or yknow, not cis?

I used to get confused for female a lot when I was younger and I'm cis. Although I did have long hair and wear make up..

This guy's got the brains of a hot pocket.

I don’t use pronouns because I don’t want anyone to ever dox me on the internet. In my view, none of us should be sharing personal information

"In 6’2, 225 pounds with about 10% body fat. I look like a man. I act like a man. Nobody has confused me for anything but a man."

That is so easy to read in a Christian Bale voice.
