I especially hate that it's pretty obvious that [Guy] outed this woman to [Gal], possibly because you weren't giving him the responses he wanted to hear.

They're both a couple of toolbags.

I'm sorry that people this ignorant exist in society. (And, heh. "XX makes you female, XY makes you male" . . . they really have no idea about the variety of human biology, do they? They should really look up CAIS or CAH, and then see what they think about what you can determine about someone "from their genitals.")

But, yeah. They are scum. I hope that the woman you've been gaming with isn't too adversely affected by their bigotry.

*hugs*

Actually, no, our poor ladyfriend has been getting outed by I believe more than one mysterious source that I can't identify. Gal learned it from some douchebag that posted it to an internet forum about gaming. Guy learned it from... well, I suspect I know, but am not sure, but a different source entirely.

I do not even know how it got out in the first place. It makes me very angry that people think it's their place to say, OH MY GOD SO AND SO HAS A PENIS. Seriously, it was outed exactly like that: [Charactername]'s player has a penis.

Seriously. Verbatim.

*headdesk headdesk headdesk*

I'm starting to wonder if all my gaming friends are closet transphobes. I will despair greatly if that's the case. I don't see what's so difficult about the idea that you identify someone using the terminology they use to identify themselves.

I even give that to people or organizations I don't like.

Sigh. :(

If you're still talking after "I don't have a problem with that..." then clearly you have a problem with that.

I'm sorry there are so many asshats around you.

Right? I don't even know what the fuck all that insanity was about. These people are supposedly my friends, too. I had no idea what the fuck was under the hood, there. So upsetting. So much insanity.

Thanks for the sympathy! <3

Seriously, shut the fuck up people. "I don't care what someone has between their legs."
Really?? For someone who doesn't care you sure seem to be spending WAY more time talking about it and thinking about it than the rest of the world.

God, I know, right? I don't care, but... *goes on for quite some time* Are you SURE you don't care?! Are you POSITIVE?

I'm starting to wonder about the rest of my friends now. I ended up accosting another one of my gamer friends all, PLEASE DON'T BE LIKE THEM BECAUSE I LIKE YOU AND I DESPERATELY HOPE YOU'RE NOT SECRETLY AN ASSHOLE. Poor guy. He was like, whaaaaat? No, geez. Of course not. God, that shit is her business. And why do these people care so much anyway? If I am not actually having sex with someone I don't need to know anything about their genitals. And it's on a TEXT GAME. No dicks are going to accost them over the internet.

*dances around* YES THANK YOU!

One good soul (and you guys here!!!) helped me feel less like killing everything in sight.
