Oh my fucking god, this might be the most badass comeback to those shitty "it's gay" arguments I've heard in a long time 😂

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

I was gonna write up an actual, polite and respectful reply...but you lost me at "vote Trump next election". Must be nice being so privileged to not have to fear for your rights when specific people with specific opinions, policies and (might I say, bigoted) ideas get in charge.
You're clearly either a troll or unfathomably silly. I honestly have no idea how someone can look at the state of America today and think "Ah yes, I want that again!". But doesn't matter you right? Not like they're slowly taking away your rights, life-saving medical treatments and even your humanity.
This has nothing to do with your dating preferences. You're a jerk for completely different reasons and this comment is extremely revealing.
Women naturally produce very small amounts of testosterone. I didn't even have to read your paragraphs of bullshit to know you have no fucking clue.
You will vote republican and Trump anyway, no sane person would say stuff like that. Literally threatening people by voting for Hitler "noooo I always voted democrats but NOW if this will not go as I want, I will vote for Hitler and its your fault" What do you even mean? Should you drop all the support right now? What? You never supported anything, all of this is bullshit.
Couple things:
Sports aren't that fucking important. I guess we ultimately agree that pro/adult sports can do whatever tf they want. If you don't support that for whatever reason, just don't watch that sport. Personally, having done the actual ass end care for patients with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, I think American football is unconscionable but I know it's a huge industry that's not going anywhere and there's really too many unconscionable things in the world for me to focus on that one specifically. It's weird how much people care about THIS thing specifically when (as stated) there's waaay bigger, realer problems with the sports industries.
Similarly, children's sports are also meaningless (except football being evil as stated), except in that sports generally encourage children to develop habitual activity levels that will later help avoid metabolic disorders and teach some group-work skills. None of those things involve chromosomes or hormones at all. Children need to learn to deal with humans who look and sound different than them to not panic, and hopefully even to engage in group work with a diverse team. So it's weird to exclude trans kids from children's sports, because that runs counter to the goal of helping them become well-adjusted. People are just gonna get way weirder around them as time goes on so they may as well get used to it now.
Chromosomes also have a lot less to do with the final form of genitals than one might think. There are even non-chromosomal disorders that can make an XY fetus just not give a fuck about testosterone and grow a vagina anyway. Apparently before modern medical science that usually just kinda went unnoticed for most of the persons life, they were just assumed to be barren. Also if the testosterone thing is itself the deal breaker then like what if she's had some kinda hormone imbalance earlier in life? How would you even prove that? Biology is waaay more complicated than a coinflip.
I guess it's not morally wrong to not like the idea of testicles having been part of a person's body at any point, but it is kinda weird. I really don't spend all that much time thinking about how any of my partners' genitals may have looked over a year ago. I'm mostly looking and touching them, hearing them make squishy noises, and occasionally tasting them like... right there, in the moment. If they had a nasty rash a year ago, I wasn't gonna be licking it then. But it's not there anymore, so I'm sure gonna lick it now. I guess it's also like... not wrong to not like surgically constructed/corrected genitals, but like what if they spilled a negligently hot cup of McDonald's coffee in their lap and it fused their labia together? (Sorry, that story is just wild.)
You can be attracted to whoever you want, but also if you're otherwise getting along with the person enough that you mutually remove your pants, then see it's the vagina/penis you were expecting but with some kind of permanent scarring, and that makes you nope out? Again, not morally wrong. But it's kinda... sad. I've had multiple male partners with large circumcision scars that even affected sensation and functionality (again, off-topic but it's WILD that that's legal), and like... I licked those too. Where's your line between type and amount of trauma or surgical intervention or unexpected development and whatever "normal" is to you? Like, I could say all other things being 100% equal, I'd probably be more comfortable with the dick that looks more like I'm expecting a dick to look versus not but it also has the lowest rank on my list behind a lot of things that actually matter, like being funny and not being a rapist or hitting me. I have some visual preferences but pretty much none of them are dealbreakers.
You are sure that you want to vote for that monkey, just because some people are idiots?
