well, as i mentioned, i as well personally view the cultural shift towards the primacy of specific 'identities' that certain people have adopted as a dead end - a kind of bramble patch of their own making. personally, i think there are greater dangers in this world and this whole identity politics clusterfuck is dishearteningly annoying, - yet not so bad as to warrant engaging them directly out of some sense of needing to preserve ones personal integrity. i respect your commitment to your ideals but i think trying to be a martyr of your cause is a waste of time, and in a real sense stooping to their level of argument. wanting to 'expose the idiocy' is fine i guess, but don't be surprised when it burns your bridges. when it comes down to it, defining yourself as some foot soldier of the culture wars is as much of a dead end as their bullshit. idk. take my commentary with a grain of salt but i guess what i am trying to say is that this shit is trifling in the long run.
Yeah it's not worth it if It happens to me all day but It doesn't happen very often and I actually try to avoid those types of poeple so it's been only a couple of times that this actually happened. I don't know if it's totally harmless to place all this power in self identities because I'm terribly worried that at some point it will become a crime to not use people's pronouns or to say how men and women are different. I would not be surprised if it came to that point and that is an injustice that is worth while standing for, at least for now.
Demissexuality is not a sexuality, it's just normal part of a relationship
