Spectrum rule

Partial orders can also have maximums

Sexuality has multiple axes.

1. Intensity
2. Orientation (towards Men, Women, Frogs)
3. Time (people have been known to have straight periods, gay periods, horny periods, ace periods, etc.)

There are probably others that we relate to kink and paraphilia.

So the very gayest person would have to be specifically defined. Which is gayer: the horniest bisexual or the average-libido gay who has absolute-zero-Kelvin interest in the other sex? Or the gay man who is totally in love with (and exclusively devoted to) his hubby and has been this way for fifty years?

Is this like when Mike Tyson said he'd fuck that guy in the ass for calling him gay to show him how straight he is?

Comment sections like this make me feel like I'm in a room full of crazy people, and or I eventually start to question my own sanity.

I mean sure, a spectrum is defined by at least 2 most extreme points (depending on the amount of dimensions). But like, what's stopping us form mapping two or more people to either extreme? Why can't 2 people be equally most gay or equally least gay?

How is a spectrum supposed to not have a total ordering? To me saying sth is a spectrum always invokes an image of being able to map to/represent the property as an interval (unbounded or bounded) which should always give it a total ordering right?

Since the real numbers are a spectrum there exists one number which is the largest

Now I'm wondering what the gayest gay person would look like.

There's still gay people on Xitter? Why? It's full of Nazis.

Awsome logic in the original original post.

On a totally unrelated note: whats the biggest number between 0 and 1 (0<x<1)?

I thought Smith won most gay?

"Being gay isn't a choice, it's a competition. And I'm winning."

Gay Olympics when?

Based anime set theorist.

There can be only one!

a consequence of the axiom of choice is that every set can be given a well ordering. and well orderings always have smallest elements, but they may not have largest elements.

so there is someone who is the least gay, but there may not be a single person who is the most gay.

yay homophobia…

Or a total preorder

This misconception is also why— for the love of fucking god— people need to stop calling autism a "spectrum". It doesn't matter if it is one, what matters is what people think that means. There is no "extremely autistic" or "a little bit autistic"— those people are referring to cognitive ability. Those kinds of people don't know the difference between autism and general intellectual disability. Autism as we "know" it is a fucking disaster of an understanding, and I will die long before we can get people to think correctly about it.

Also, the problem with people really, super wanting to be "autistic" because it makes them "special", not knowing that autism is a full-neurological phenomenon and not just "you think different". That's another huge reason why nobody actually knows what it is and that, yes, it does in fact have a finite list of symptoms/traits. x_x
