Please can we make this a MOTD banner text?
yeah he is correct on him acting male at least. now please look at this cute pit 
What a bizarre take. I could be this dude to a "T" (though I'm a touch taller and have a little bit more body fat, if we're being pedantic) and I have zero issue with pronouns at all because I'm that secure. Like, if you don't care as the super secure male alpha you're pretending to be, then you really don't care if you have to add pronouns. Because you don't care.
Homeboy does care. And that's pretty weak.
Guess he's not the alpha he pretends to be.
Im 9'2, 700 pounds with 30% body fat. I look like a hexbear. I act like a hexbear. Nobody has ever confused me for anything other than a Hexbear
A lot of my self-understanding as nonbinary, though, comes from
.feeling cute, WILL delete later because PII
I don't appear quite AGAB, for various reasons
Most of the trans women in my life had a womanly demeanor, even pre-transition. Most of the trans men in my life likewise had a manly demeanor.
The number one way I defend trans people's existence and validity in the face of criticism or scrutiny is by saying "if you see them a certain gender at first glance or at a distance, and that's the gender they want, you can't just change your mind about it, your gut already told you the truth".
Idk it's kinda weird if we say that gender is a social construct and then deny the composition of its social construction.
Uhh, I don't know about this one. I do not pass. I look like a clocky ogre. Does that mean I'm a man now? Hell no. But I must try to conform to gender roles of aesthetics, because to not be perfectly feminine as trans woman makes you a subhuman evil creature, whereas doing the same as cis woman merely makes you rebellious/defiant. This just feels like forcing gender roles onto people, but couched in progressive rhetoric. I know nonbinary people who very much present as their agab. That doesn't make them any less nonbinary. I do not like this post and it's implied ideology.

People have upvoted this and not argued with it, but if I took this same logic one tiny step further, I'm nervous that it would be seen as extremely problematic.
i get what you're trying to say, we want to respect people's gender identities and often how someone presents (not how/if they pass) is how they identify. like if you weren't nonbinary you might work out to get a "masculine" torso shape. but not always, it's a yardstick that relies on how people are conforming to problematic social definitions of gender

How do they calculate the body fat? Do they submerge him in a ~~tube~~ graduated cylinder to see how much water he has displaced to get his density?
There's some methods of measuring. DEXA is generally the most accurate and common but what you describe is also a method of doing it. In this case though he just simply made it up

So, if they don't identify as cisgender then wouldn't they be trans or nonbinary or yknow, not cis?
"Are you straight or political?"
I used to get confused for female a lot when I was younger and I'm cis. Although I did have long hair and wear make up..
This guy's got the brains of a hot pocket.
I don’t use pronouns because I don’t want anyone to ever dox me on the internet. In my view, none of us should be sharing personal information
oh no, I've been narrowed down to approximately half the population. whatever will I do Dr Gabriel Aby?

Me narrowing down my search from every single person in the world to maybe a few million with the more obscure pronouns, if the user isn't lying.

"In 6’2, 225 pounds with about 10% body fat. I look like a man. I act like a man. Nobody has confused me for anything but a man."
That is so easy to read in a Christian Bale voice.
