I'm not a gay guy, but "strictly dickly" is a phrase ready to be put on a flair.

People being repulsed by certain genitals isn't uncommon. While some gay men can be quite explicit about it, I imagine it's a type of bonding of shared experiences, and the expression of it is simply exaggerated.

But of course, some people take things we say so literally when they want to. I remember people making a huge stink about the term "gold star gay" some time ago, describing it as an exclusive club and something that determined your "worth in the community". It's really not that serious.

People being repulsed by certain genitals isn't uncommon.

This is something I didn't even realize till discovering LGBDropTheT, actually. That, for many people, being repulsed by the genitals of the sex they're not attracted to comes naturally, as in having zero connection to anything like bad experiences/associations, or (among heterosexuals) homophobia. Not that I ever thought gay people could look at the opposite sex's junk and be like, "HAWT!"; I just assumed that, barring anything traumatic, they'd respond with complete indifference, sexually speaking. But it seems that repulsion is often built-in.

Which makes me wonder: could this be an avenue for diffusing many straight people's homophobia/SSA-phobia? What if their basic motivation is that same inborn sense of disgust? Nothing ideological, or even cultural-- just the reflexive "EWWW" that non-bisexuals often inherently feel? So that, when they DO hear the ideological/cultural justifications for gayness/bi-ness being sinful/unnatural/wrong-- in other words, "gross"-- it really resonates with them? Seems intuitively true? Well, maybe this opens the door to pointing out that... gay people often feel precisely the same way about stuff involving the opposite sex's junk. And straight people don't agree with THAT, do they? Meaning that this kind of being grossed-out reflects not objective, but rather subjective, reality? And therefore shouldn't be the basis for disapproval, discrimination, or the like? Because, straight people, you wouldn't accept any of those things being directed at you?

Well, it's a thought, anyway.

I wish there was a place for discussions like these.

Honestly, the worst thing that came out of the gold star gay nonsense was one bisexual guy who claimed he was still a gold star gay because all the women he had sex with identified as men. In that comic, he simultaneously said (useful) labels were bs and we should get rid of them while also latching onto one label that was actually bs for his life

Well now I’m going to do that even more. “Gay trans men” should feel unwelcome around me because they are.

What if you find both parts gross? TRAs really don't wanna accept something like consent and tolerance to people's natural preferences.

If you're demanding people censor how they talk about their own sexual orientation then you're not the good person in this scenario.

The White Knight sellout to the rescue, my gay hero academia.
