@Bicyclejohn I am. I love my wife. I can barely imagine the version of me who doesn’t have her + doesn’t realize I love girls. Maybe that version of me would be happy too … but this version is my favorite!

@LootGoblin42 Well, the point is that cis people aren’t the “normal people”, just like straight people aren’t the “normal people”. Trans people, gay people, bi people etc aren’t abnormal even if they’re statistically fewer.
@LootGoblin42 @UngodlyAudrey As a root word it means “on the same side as” in the same way trans- means “on the other side from”. Do you know what makes you uncomfortable with it?
@jennifilm Kia ora!!! I’m over in Te Whanganui-A-Tara/Welly, always excited to see another kiwi cross my feed :)

I’m not bashing you, just pointing out our differences, but I think it’s really interesting that you say “me enjoying it … has zero impact on the content creators” but you also think you SHOULD feel bad for it and that it’s wrong.
My view (that cannot possibly be theft) *feels* natural to me, and your viewpoint (if I tried to have it myself) would feel way more like “rationalizing” or “justifying”.
Also you’re right, public libraries rock :)
