I did some maths :) :
861 votes have been cast
72 of them are gay
72/861=0,08

Which means %8 of this game is gay, much more than the straight female population

(Problems being the alienation that results from sexuality differing from the majority) I'm saying that if people as a whole started thinking like this, the problems wouldn't exist, because no one would care about the physical manifestation of it. And if no one cared, no one would be alienated.


The solution to anti-semitism is not to abolish Judaism.

The solution to homophobia is not to eradicate all differences between straights and gays, nor is that desirable.

Difference is good, difference is strong. Diversity is a hallmark of any modern nation, and we should be proud of our differences, we should be proud of our divides.

Life would be boring if we were all the same.

It's an internet thing, mostly by people who say they're asexual so they don't have to admit they can't get a girlfriend.

Like autism.

There are people on the internet who are autistic, and are people on the internet who are asexual. There are, however, far more people who claim they are asexual than are actually asexual.

I was entirely serious about the segment in parentheses. I'm not upset that it, specifically, isn't up there, but I do think an "Other" option wouldn't hurt.

Perhaps so, but your 'affiliation' is hardly a valid 'sexuality.'

Technophilia is not an orientation.

Sure it is, if one is physically attracted to machinery. Who are you to say otherwise?

And I don't identify as male, female, or even human/person... so tell me where I fall under the poll options regarding that aspect?

I'm really uncomfortable as a girl but you know, I'm more uncomfortable as a femme guy. Grew up in a small town. Dumb people. Dumb friends. Only learned about *trans movement as a concept a few years ago. Thought, "welp that's not me, I don't feel like a man in a woman's body, I just feel uncomfortable in a woman's body. I don't want to get all that surgery! I suppose I'm just butch."

Flash to now, and I'm too comfortable pretending to bother being outspoken. I hate me. :?


You don't see yourself as male, and are uncomfortable as female, so you might be some third gender or genderless.
If you want to call me by a nickname, call me Gon...or NS Batman.

Male or female as fine.

You don't get to identify as a different species.

Emphasis mine. Are you saying I don't have the right to decide who or what the fuck I am? Pretty presumptuous of you, innit?

Anyway, I don't identify as a different species. I identify as an idea, an intelligent construct. Of natural origins.

Because species isn't a fucking social construct, and it's outright offensive to claim that you can divorce yourself of your humanity.

You can identify as whatever the fuck you want. You are nevertheless human. This is utterly distinct from gender, as gender is, in fact, a social construct.

Humanity is not.

It's offensive to claim that I can't claim to be what I am, which is a collection of experiences, sensory perceptions, and ideas, housed within a biological computer in a biological machine body.
