It's just... odd to me, I suppose, going from "what is in my pants is completely irrelevant to most anybody else's life" to the expectation that you must be completely open, essentially, about what is in your pants.
I think a lot of people understand the general idea of why it's bad decorum to demand people offer explanations for private information like this, but they don't analyze exactly why it's bad besides, "asking directly is just rude" and not "asking in any way still enforces the often violent nature of gender and sex, and putting people in the 'right box' is a part of that violence."
It's especially odd when seeing other trans people enforcing the idea that "what's in your pants?" is a genuine, good-faith basis for interacting with others.

> FERDINAND II.
And so your PLANT shall henceforth be known as FERDINAND II.
The thought of needing to inform FERDINAND I of his having a namesake makes you a bit ill, but you are already hard at work devising several plausible excuses for the gesture. Something about how you've named it after the one most invested in its naming, or how it is similarly prone to drooling. Yes. Yes, you will be able to deflect quite easily, should the need arise. It has nothing to do with your fondness for FERDINAND or your desire for a substitute in his imminent absence, no—again, you are not so prone to sentimentality. It's about the drool.
Well, anyway. Best to move on with your day and think about something else, lest you grow maudlin or cultivate further affection for the PLANT. May the GODDESS be merciful and never cause you to develop inclinations that could be described as paternal.
Now that your plant has received sufficient care, it is time for COFFEE. You set to making your morning brew. By CHANCE, there happens to be sufficient water remaining in the kettle for FERDINAND I to have TEA, should he wish it.
Per your TIMEPIECE, it is now a quarter to eight. You have made excellent progress on your PRE-BREAKFAST TO-DO LIST thus far: the only remaining task is to remove FERDINAND. You are starting to get rather peckish and would like to be rid of him quickly, but over the past week, you have found that extracting the man from YOUR QUARTERS is a more arduous task than it ought to be.

My latest obsession has been the One Piece live action, so of course I hear of the whole Taz Skylar is cancelled thing, and I have a few thoughts I would like to share.
First of all, I personally don't believe in cancel culture, originally it was an actual statement whose objective was to deplatform people who were doing actual harm, nowadays it's just an echochamber of bad vibes. No one is doing anything out of genuine intentions anymore, just being loud for the sake of taking part in the anger. Really unfortunate but it is what it is.
This also comes with a side of cherry picking, because the same people who are being loud about their sentiment towards this sutuation also seem to support other artists who have neither shown any support or even acknowledge people's suffering at all, or even worse, are directly linked to people or companies who are on the wrong side of things.
The most bizarre part of this episode was people also involving the other cast members over, what I can only say, are really harmless instagram stories that say really nothing of substance about their character.
Maybe I'm just incredibly cynical about internet activism, non of it makes sense to me. How does a person posting shit on their Instagram story that they might not even believe in matters more than actually raising funds to help those in need?
Social media is a weird place where you have to be performative in order to be accepted, genuinity is ignorance, everything is evil, and nothing you ever do will ever be enough. Even when people have good intentions, anger is always misdirected and blown out of proportion. I won't be taking any part on it.
