Howso? Claiming “genderqueer” is, as I mentioned to another poster, too aspecific to mean anything. Descriptive terms ought to enhance rather than hinder understanding.

The term “genderqueer” is so aspecific as to be useless.

Because semantics are important for communication. If I claim to be straight but I exclusively have sex with men and am only attracted to men, I have just rendered the term meaningless.

No one is arguing that it doesn’t, but congratulations on arguing an entirely separate point, I guess?

Devin Nunes is a modern-day Renfield. If he keeps eating his flies and abuses his position to protect his master, he believes that he, too, will be able to look like a hybrid between an especially unsatisfying blumpkin and a spilled Orange Julius...

It really doesn’t change the fact that Hopkins referred to Hopkins’s partner (a lack of pronouns really makes this clunky) as ‘she’ and that Hopkins took a traditional insertive role in the sexual relations, allegedly.

I don’t know what it means in BDSM terms. Is it just the receptive partner?

That sure seems like it would have been borrowed from gay culture. We’re really the only community for whom it makes all that much sense by default.

I have an acquaintance who used to have the job of taking Sean Cody’s boys out for a night on the town when they were in for filming. Having the job of taking a bunch of conventionally attractive muscle boys out and keeping them ‘entertained’ never sounded like more of a nightmare.

I’m not in tune with the BDSM scene, so I couldn’t tell you!

Way to try and marginalize gay men more, I guess? We definitely don’t deal with enough crappiness.

You seem like someone who really enjoys setting up ‘rules’ just so you can police others’ behavior. You won’t be getting other responses from me, but I wish you the best with your ramblings.

I have had gay transmen get very aggressive with me for not being interested, but gay dating in your teens to thirties is so difficult if you’re not that 1% tanned, toned muscle boy that I kind of expect people to get frustrated at not getting what they want.

That’s ascribing a motivation to me that doesn’t exist, and it exposes you as—frankly—an asshole. No, I’m not slicing the pie too narrowly. My entire point is that there’s sketchiness going on with a person who a) has been accused of rape and b) seems to have a history of sexually assaulting women, if sources coming…

I live in San Diego, so of course I know about Sean Cody. I’m preeeeetty sure that their ‘identification’ as straight persists about as long as the camera battery, though.

Yeah, one of the difficult things about caring about social justice is dealing with the people who go too far. So thank you.

But let’s not pretend that such “deep cover” is all that unusual. Look at Alex Jones, who claims he’s just playing a raging psychopath who believes in lizard people. Or pro wrestlers, who exist “in character” whenever they’re out in public.

Both parties agree that they had consensual sex a large number of times before the alleged rape.

I do believe that repeated consensual sex is an act of sexual attraction. But way to be needlessly aggressive.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I didn’t need it posted three times. :P

That said, no, queer is not limited to being gay. Being a power bottom is, though. It’s gay lingo and it’s being co-opted by someone who is not gay.

Mostly the part where a guy is co-opting gay culture and possibly queer culture in general so he can profit and use it as a smokescreen to rape women. That’s what’s confusing to me.
