I voted anyway. I'm AMAB, but have rejected my masculinity for years now. I no longer identify as male, but don't have the confidence (or money, for that matter) to try and go through life as female (it's def more $$$$$$ than being male-presenting). I reacted to your poll as "Both" anyway.
Take THAT binary-ness!

@FernLovebond Um.. please don't come at me like that again ok, if you were a non follower doing that, it wouldn't have been pretty...
@FernLovebond cuz the way you said it, seemed more like an attack rather than being funny
@duglop
Alright, so I gathered. It wasn't meant as any kind of attack. I do push back on "females only" a bit, since I really am non-binary, but it wasn't about aggression at you. That said, the telling me how to behave sits *very* badly with me, so I'll save us both some displeasure and just let you be. No offense intended, truly.
Best wishes 🍻

@FernLovebond Glad I saw this because I unintentionally offend people sometimes by coming across as directive or instructional when I’m really only trying to help. One of the few downsides to #Aspergersyndrome

Yeah, I'm a bit on the spectrum myself, I'm told (though I managed to get through more than 40 years of life without knowing it 🤷♀️). All it's done for me to learn it is that now I'm less likely to get bitchy with people whose reactions are conflicting to me. I no longer assume them to be bad actors, & recognize that my lack of skills in some areas might be the source of misunderstanding.
For instance, I'm not sure what you mean by telling me the above. Glad why, for what?
@FernLovebond I’m glad because I think you’re pretty cool, so far we seem to have a lot in common, and I wouldn’t want to do anything to make you mad at me.
@duglop
Wow, it was kinda meant to be funny. No offense intended, but I'm also a grown up; if you need to vent something, feel free. I promise I can handle it.
Not sure what the big deal is, exactly, but if something so benign as some silly remarks on a post about science fiction preferences is all it takes to upset you, don't waste your time flexing on me, just go ahead and say what you need to.
If it helps, you can DM me, or even just ask me to leave you alone: I'll respect that.
