@HebrideanHecate@Ladyfat I once worked with a young woman who was a lesbian. I think she was upset that I didn't mention it or show any problems about it (she was that type of attention seeker) and one day she started to tell me why she was a lesbian. I stopped her and told her that she didn't need to explain or justify it because it just was. I think that upset her even more. A few days later there was a complaint made against me that I was overheard making transphobic and homophobic comments (I wonder where that came from). I left a few weeks later, but not before I had reminded the boss about article 10 rights to free speech.
@HebrideanHecate@Ladyfat I had the misfortune to work for about a year with a bunch of lazy, arrogant little shits. Bless their little hearts. They often used to have loud conversations about explicit sexual goings on to try to provoke us oldies (because old people have never had sex, natch) which we ignored because we had better things to do. They would spend more time stirring the pot than getting on with work. The girl who was a lesbian was always banging on about it because I don't think she had any talents or interests, so she needed to big up her identity to make up for a personality shortfall. I think they overheard me and another lady talking about whether or not we would consider men to be women (this lady had a male friend who thought he was a woman, so she had a more sympathetic attitude than I did). I know that she wasn't bothered by our chat because we were both sensible human beings who could agree to disagree without running to teacher to tell tales. I hope they're all still there getting on each other's tits and telling tales. I couldn't think of a better outcome for such a useless bunch of wastrels.
@KeepTakingTheSoma@HebrideanHecate@Ladyfat Fuck Julie and her "choice" lesbianism, she once railed on me for over on hour on Twitter in 2020 about how I was letting other women down somehow by not choosing to do without sex (no women do not sexually attract me, and yes I tried) . IMO our sexual orientation is hard wired, and most HOMOSEXUALS agree with that.
@HebrideanHecate@Ladyfat In fairness, it's how they've been raised. Being *offended* trumps all. As I'm so fond of saying, we get more of the behaviour we reward.
