Comment on Thirsty much?
proudblond@lemmy.world 17 hours agoI tend to agree with you, but then I remember the convo I had with my mother-in-law about why trans people had to wear clothing that affirmed their gender when it made her uncomfortable…
WTF, I can’t even. I just avoid talking to her as much as possible at this point.

Different situations. She can’t force other people to dress differently to appease her, but if they make her uncomfortable (for whatever dumb reason) she’s allowed to avoid them.
But also different situations because sex drive is possibly the strongest biological drive that we have, so even if you’re not helpless against it your brain can be distracted in a way that it won’t get from gendered clothing.
I’m not religious or devoid of self control, or even interested in a relationship with a “gym girl”. But I would still wish the women at my gym chose to dress for function rather than to attract… whatever it is they want to attract. It gets tiresome.

Sex drive ain’t nowhere near the strongest biological drive we have, whatever that means. I’m no humanologist, but just off the top of my head, urges to piss and eat are definitely “stronger”. You can’t trick a full bladder or empty stomach with a simulation of peeing or eating just using your hands.

Every function the body has ultimately exists to maximize the chance of reproduction
