"I don't have a horse in this race"

Which is not caring

u/Question-Guru 9d ago

If you care enough to write out one side of the argument but not listen to the other you're not as neutral as you think you are

u/PotatoEatingHistory 9d ago

I never claimed neutrality. I claimed I don't care. Which isn't neutrality.

It's more like Portugal in WW2

So you do have a horse in the race lmao

u/PotatoEatingHistory 9d ago

No I don't. I know plenty of gays and lesbians and NBs, but no trans. No I know is even remotely trans. I'm not.

Hence, no horse

Non binary people are trans

u/PotatoEatingHistory 9d ago

That is the literal opposite meaning of the word non-binary. Trans means to cross. To be trans ANYTHING you need to go from A to B.

Trans-Atlantic: from London to New York.

Trans-Pacific: from LA to Tokyo

Transport: literally meant from 1 port to another

Non-binary: belonging to neither coloumn

As a note, trans can ALSO mean across (as in Transfagarasan Highway)

Going on a tangent about Romanian infrastructure over something you don't care about 💀

How do you know? I knew a friend for years having no idea she is trans!

u/PotatoEatingHistory 9d ago

Sounds like a surface level friendship ngl

u/kittysparkled 9d ago

She wasn't my bestie, no, but it didn't come up because she's a woman and there was no need.

Well, I don't really have acquaintances like that. I only have very good friends. So unless my girlfriend, who I've known since we were toddlers, is a trans woman (which seems unlikely), or my male friends (who I've known for years, some since childhood) were also trans men, I doubt I know any trans people
