People Who Don’t Identify as a Man or Woman Want to Know: Why Isn’t Anyone Hooking Up With Me?
Heat Street, Jun 24, 2017

Vice, known lately for covering super serious news, published a 2,000-word probe this week by Meredith Talusan, a writer who doesn’t identify as either a man or a woman. The central existential question: “Why can’t my famous nonconforming friends get laid?”

Talusan describes the friends in question, Jacob Tobia and Alok Vaid-Menon, both outspoken activists with tens of thousands of followers.

Probably their personalities. Would you screw an activist? Way too intense and psycho for my taste.

Editing to add: I'm being serious for once. Within their little circle, they're famous. Fame is a universally aknowledged aphrodisiac. Both of them would scrub up reasonably decent. Therefore - personality is the problem.

They would also love to legally mandate it that turning down their advances would be discrimination.

There is something decidedly creepy about a person who cannot decide whether they are a man or a woman. One cannot be both, or neither.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

You should both know by now that I'm moderately evil.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, you don't know where they have been or what they have been doing with who, for starters. No one wants to mess with that.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

There was nothing moderate about it. That which has been seen cannot be unseen. You hereby owe me for the cold pack of cheap beer with which I am needfully numbing my consciousness. And it might well wind up being a case.

You do know that when I get into your neck of the woods, several cases will be brought - both beer and rootbeer.  :beer:

No. Not in my back yard.
