We have one rule here, it's to be nice. Stop being antagonistic

There's no way for me to really know what's going on in their heads, frankly.

What I can tell you, at least, is that I have had some partners respond to this with shock and negative emotions. They often feel that it is somehow invalidating how they feel about me. On more than one occasion I have been described as romantic which is perhaps where this feeling of invalidation is based. I very much enjoy intimacy, I simply do not experience a "romantic" attraction. I still enjoy doing many of the things that are considered normal in what is described as a "romantic" relationship (I use this term because I'm poly, I'm not coupled with anyone, just partners).

I'm aromantic and of all the labels I have, it's the one that often gets the strongest visceral reaction from folks. Many have preconceived notions of what aromanticism is and can be and it's deeply frustrating. It's one of the labels I have that I am most hesitant about sharing, because it requires a conversation to explain myself. However, even after explaining myself, I believe many think I am either lying or just cannot believe that the way I view the world is true and instead substitute their own beliefs for truth.

Oh, now they are "lightly studied"? That's walking back your point substantially. If they are "lightly studied" then why are you advocating for such harsh rules? Why not advocate for them to be studied in more depth?

There really isn't. The IOC (International Olympic Committee) has a set of policies based on objective science, and I would encourage you to look at them if you are interested in the science. Until then, this comment will be removed for spreading misinformation. If you wish to make claims, you need to source them.

This is how you make them listen.

Lot of salty folks in the comments. Yes, I hate dems too, but this is an important win when there's so much anti-trans legislature going through across the US.

It's really disappointing to see so many folks diverting attention away from a trans win to complain about democrats. This is the LGBTQ+ community can you please just let people be happy about one small win? There's vanishingly little to be happy about right now for trans folks.

Wish this article did a better job at citing information, would love to know what study provided evidence for sentience and self-awareness. Not that I disagree, I think we vastly underestimate the intelligence and cognitive state of most living creatures, I just want to read about this in more depth.

"embrace of right-wing politics..." my dude he did a literal nazi salute multiple times, stating it this way is minimizing

Installing ramps is explicitly not treating them the same. It is making accommodations for them because they are not the same.
