I think twerf has something to do with trigger warnings.

neutrois might mean she has 3 genders and doesn't want to act sexually as any of them.

demigirl means demisexual girl. Demisexuals being the special snowflake sexuality.

change your mind meaning she likely came up with all of this on the fly, and wanted to feel special.

I think "neutrois" means the same thing as "agender", but this shit changes so fast that today's Cool Thing is tomorrow's Trigger. And I don't have a fucking clue what TWERF is.

Here I was thinking she'd simply misspelled "neutrino," and that she thought she was a known, yet nearly undetectable particle.

so basically, labels for labels' sake, and the more oxymoronic they are the better, it seems.

According to Urban Dictionary, the definition of "twerf" is either "to queef while twerking" or "to fuck someone so hard they become infertile". I don't know which one's funnier.

I do not know what "queef" means and now I am afraid to go find out...

Askold, just please don't look it up at work.

Also, (to the board in general) what is AFAB? I thought it was a British sitcom but now I'm not sure.

I love that second definition for some reason

@Rookie:  AFAB = Assigned Female At Birth

[rookie]

Aha. Thanks.

"Twerf" means a TERF that targets trans women only (i.e. is relatively ok with trans men).

"Demigirl" is not "demisexual girl". It means someone who partially identifies as a girl (as opposed to wholly or not at all).

"Neutrois" is more or less the same as agender, but it varies. Not sure what it's supposed to mean in this context.

"Gender-critical feminism" is a particular kind of feminism that.. actually I have no idea how to explain it. Their opponents say it's basically the same as TERF. I can't find any concise statement of belief from someone who actually identifies as such. I think they criticise what they see as people calling themselves women but not really being women in some meaningful sense? Anyway, in context, it basically means they don't like feminists that are against transwomen, which they kind of already said before.

"Changing your mind" means presumably the same it means in normal discourse: having beliefs about something, and then changing those beliefs.

"Queef" is a vaginal fart.

You know, it used to be the smartest people who coined new words.  Now it seems like it's the dumbest who do it.

i thought that the whole point of social sexual justice was accepting that it wasn't all just a phase. so in this respect, someone saying that they can change their mind about their sexuality is pretty... odd at the very least, and dare i say it, triggering :p still, it's a very clunky way to say that the person is genderfluid or non-binary.

[Askold]

Sigma: You did not have to provide explanation for all of those. Really, I could have lived my life happily without knowing the truth.

Other than that, even though I have long ago come to the conclusion the people can call themselves whatever they want and accepting them being different is just polite and "no skin off my nose" or however that phrase goes.

...Still I feel like headpalming every now and then.

Part of social justice (a part I agree with) is that sexuality and gender identity are more complicated than the standard view of "men like women, women like men, nothing else under the sun". How much more complicated is a tricky question, I'm not getting into it. But anyway, the more complicated you admit gender can be, the more allowances you have to make for people exploring their gender and sexuality.

I'm sure trans people are not in general born knowing they are trans, gay people are not born knowing they are gay, etc. If we accept someone can change their mind from "I'm straight" to "I'm gay" or from "I'm a man" to "I'm a woman", it does not seem a priori ridiculous to say that one can change their mind about being non-binary or whatever. That doesn't imply it's a phase, just that they are examining a larger gender-space.

It's always a good idea to try and explore ones gender and sexuality.
