I’d argue that sexual expression is insanely repressed, and that celebrating it openly is more in line with the LGBTQ+ movement than you realize.
I mean, look at this thread. We have a majority upvoted comment calling this person mentally ill for being willing to express a non-normative opinion on sexuality. That’s not that different from the right-wing chuds calling trans people mentally ill as the modern stand-in for the r-slur, which in turn is a modern stand-in for “doing a socially unacceptable thing that I don’t like and should be ashamed.”
Personally, I think this person’s choices are in poor taste. But I get it. I get why someone would want to do this in a world where they’re constantly told they’re strange and wrong for the way they’re wired, so long as that wiring doesn’t cause harm to others.

yeah I also find people that make their job their whole identity, I guess I wouldnt be as hard on those that took their hobby and turned it into a job. But even then I would think, you do anything else, you like to cook, read a book anything. I mean I have the tizm so I know about fixating but I can word vomit on many subjects not just the ones that I latched onto.
