Brother, being alphabet is complicated.

You know, to decipher the word salad that is being served these days, it takes a cunning linguist.

I have always believed that trans stuff is a kink/means for men to invade women spaces, and this standard idea that a straight man or a lesbian has to be into a ‘female penis’ its laughable.

Every lesbian should be anti-trans — as should every gay man.

Transgenderism is exactly the opposite of being gay. It’s counter to everything they believe they are…
