Also a huge pet peeve of mine. I feel like that line can easily blur, though. Especially when it's, say, a discussion with a lot of sexist ideas in it relating to gender roles. At that point, I think an objection about roles needs to be made, and a non-binary, non-normative, or queer couple can be a good example of a group that has been unevenly discluded. It's not the same, though, as your example, because many folks on pill birth control, hormones, or any number of things affect their interaction with this topic.

Frustration of the day: "Allies" deciding that there were just too many queer community flags to keep organized, and "I hate rainbows and why is the bi flag girly colors?" ^_- what?

Btw, I love that somehow everyone knew that the period sex thread would get like 400+ comments. I think it would have even without the cis vs. trans fighting. PERIOD SEX: THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF OUR TIME.
