Sure, we are happy to! We have had our fair share of similar situations. But we learned and now we are much better off in relationships with people who love us for us and not for what we can provide them with.

We think that the focus on 'afab' is very confusing and likely disrespectful to other people's gender.

We'd say it's not really possible to be attracted to a gender assignment and probably what you mean is genitals or some other physical features.

Most nonbinary people who have worked hard to get rid of or distance themselves from their gender assignment are probably not going to appreciate you finding them attractive based on a gender assignment.

Genital or other physical features attraction is probably okay and much better than saying you are attracted to a gender assignment. If you are going to call yourself 'sapphic' then unless you are legitimately only attracted to women and lesbians, regardless of genitals or other physical features, then we suggest just explaining your attraction rather than using 'sapphic' by defining it as being attracted to people who aren't women/lesbians but who have vaginas and not being attracted to women/lebians who have penises as that's just invalidating and transphobic, nonbinary erasure etc.

From the comments section of the article, Erin clarifies:

"To answer some quick questions about my latest story:

  • It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see

  • It does not impact American citizens

  • The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States

  • It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere"

Yes, we love it!

Gender as dictated by society is fake and that is how we deal with it. The whole point of transitioning is to be yourself, not to live up to someone else's ideas or ideals of what you 'should' be.

The idea of 'passing' or acting in a specific way is not only unfairly limiting but also dangerous for ourselves and others.

Heck there are many cis women that don't 'pass'.

We understand your frustration but it should be aimed squarely at the system and colonial expectations which is what has always attempted to make the beautiful range of possibilities of what a person or many persons can be into a boring grey lump.

Be more, be you, protest the system, fight back, especially with others, push for change. Do what you need to do in order to if not be happy then content.

Edit: Also there's no such thing as a 'real girl' these people completely don't understand science, philosophy, history or anything else we have brought up here. They are dull, boring people who have sad lives and can only feel better by putting others down, ignore and block them, report them if you think it'll do good too.

Hey Louis, have you ever heard of J.K. Rowling? Think you might want to look closer to 'home'.

We completely agree, Mozilla should not be run like it is i.e. a Tech Startup and should allow donations to Firefox directly.

It should become a worker owned co-op as that would make a lot of things better in the long run.

It's been clear for a while now, their current way of operating just isn't going to work and hasn't been, especially since they're adding rubbish no-one wants or needs e.g. the private adverts thing.
