Wow.

These kids have all the advantages. Sucks to hear that.
There are success stories from kids like this too though...just shit is magnified by who they are. Look at Hardaway and Robinson at Mich, they both are squared away and are playing in the final four.

I won the Power Ball three times in my life. Donated it all to charity because I was afraid of the impact being rich beyond means would have on my children.

True story.

You're being intentionally daft. You know what I'm talking about.

Carry on though.

No, I'm not.

If someone self-identifies as a woman, or an effeminate man, their speech and action are going to reflect that - because like all humans, they are going to emulate the authority figures that they most closely identify with and admire. So to suggest that it is some sort of act (while it may be in some cases, that is rare) that they should put on the back burner because you think it's over the top seems a bit ignorant. Our sexuality is probably the single largest determining factor in how we interact with the rest of the world, because evolution-wise we are projecting an image to attract a mate. IOW they aren't doing it for you at all.

From an evolutionary perspective, that sort of projecting seems like a colossal waste of time for gay people, considering homosexuality is an evolutionary dead end.

you just said twice it's not "natural" and they're "emulating" it, so yea, it's an act.

Pretty sure you can suck a dick without acting like a f@g.

Look at Neil Patrick Harris.

And who knows what will happen from here. There are alot of interesting theories on why the gay gene exists and the purpose it served for our ancestors. While that may be obsolete now, we still have the gene for it just as we still have a gene for having a tail.

It's not arguing I'm correcting your incorrect viewpoint. You're assuming a baseline of magnum PI masculinity and claiming all males should emulate that - when in fact there is a wide spectrum of sexual identification which heavily influences the traits you emulate. They aren't altering their entire being to be in your face with their effeminate-ness they are just acting how they want to act.

I'm not assuming a baseline of Magnum PI masculity nothing. I'm saying that a mans preference between vag or cock has no natural effect on a persons phonetic characteristics.

Glad we agree it's an act.

Absolutely it does. For all the reasons I've just described to you.

I'm exceedingly sorry that you fell for that zinger that some imbecile left earlier in the thread. It's not "an act" anymore than teenage boys who emulate the walk and posture of straight authority figures that they admire is an act. It becomes apparent that females prefer a certain 'type' of male and so if you want to attract a female you have to emulate that type. It's how the entire basis of sexual attraction works, and it's based on things like observations of society and pop culture. It's not an "act" it's how life works.

Similarly, if you are a gay man and want to attract a certain type of gay man, you are going to behave in a manner that you have observed is successful in that endeavor.

i've just got the giggles that you fall all over yourself, back up, and then do it again.

and again.

if that's not how they portray themselves "naturally" then it's an act. they're ACTING like someone they admire.

hence, an act.

I literally cannot watch shows where they have a laugh track anymore. Really, every sentence requires a laugh? How do they act for those things? Are they sitting there smugly delivering terrible jokes and then dramatically pausing until the laughter subsides? God I hate it. HIMYM is garbage.
