i like being called a boy but i do not like being called a man. what gender is that? help
middlespace or something idk
real talk though i kinda just gave up trying to rationalize anything with words.
words are fickle and only ever convey half the story
i have seen a lot of people say stuff like that and have read people talking about girl and boy being distinct genders from woman and man. so the gender is boy, i think! that's totally allowed.
for me this is mostly the common association of a man being an authority figure
"This is what separates the men from the boys," but it's about respecting their preferred terms of address
you're obviously not a man, you're a feathered biped
I have that too. idk what your gender is but mine has been described as "a football field littered with water-filled dixie cups, and if I drink the wrong one I die"
