I identify with the word gay

That's not how it works. Not even close. Straight people are so weird.

Right...

It's this bizarre belief that you get to "identify" with or "feel comfortable" using certain words, then twist that word's definition around you, to fit what you are. Which isn't how language works. If you allowed that, you'd have 8 billion different definitions for the same descriptor, which makes it useless as a descriptor, since it isn't actually describing anything.

According to a dumbassery from twitter I saw reposted to reddit a few days ago, there are 8 billion human sexualities, because each human's is a little different.

This is how we have bizzare crap like lesbian definition being non-men loving non-men. Or even saying a lesbian can like men. Asexual who loves sex and actively seeks it - not to mention asexual spectrum which justifies the fact you still lust after people as long as you say it happens rarely to you or under certain circumstances. And then how being trans doesn't require having a psychiatric condition.

Somewhere recently I read that you should always read "I identify as ..." as "I am pretending to be ..." Def fits here.

Co-signed! "I identify as..." = "here is what I absolutely AM NOT"

How could she identify with the word gay if she liked men exclusively? Make it make sense...

MAAAAAAAAYBE if she wasn't wearing mom jeans with a t-shirt tucked into them I could buy her being like, a high school freshman boy or something. But even then...

The guy is such a troll; Laughing in plain sight at the sheer stupidity..

It's very strange to look back on pictures of me when I was younger.

Yeah... you definitely look like.. you. Amazing job at maintaining the your-ness of your own face👍

When I came out as trans, I spent so long trying to work out my sexuality, then I realized it was my gender-

How many people are like this girl? Trying to work out their sexuality because all their trender-captured peers promised that there will be something intrinsic and unique there to be discovered to explain why they're a depressed/alienated teen. Then, when there's nothing much to be found- they don't like that answer and so switch right over to gender identity to keep up the self-discovery "journey", to find the special thing they were promised by everyone to explain things. In this case, she discovers she's "gay". And suddenly, it all makes sense!

She has a cute pixie face. She’ll never pass.

This has to be a parody.
You take a cute, pixie model of femininity and she claims to be a man because....reasons? Like, no adjustment to posture, mannerisms, voice, nothing.

"Self-ID" is a helluva drug.

This is sad. She’s kind of cute, too.
