Nope, it’s actually a pretty close paraphrase of what you said twice. > [@dnooman](#): > > Gay women ovulate, and I’m wondering if the reproductive nature of that ever crosses their mind. > [@dnoorman](#): > > I saw an interview with Ellen DeGeneres and she spoke about her period. I was wondering if the reproductive aspect of menstruation entered into her mindset or not. There is no reason whatsoever, as has been pointed out to you, that LBGT people with uteruses would not think about the reproductive functions of their bodies any more than straight cis women would. They might not\* have to worry about it during the sex act, but your question was in your own words really about ovulation / menstruation. \*or they might ---

> [@dnooman](#): > > _snip_ Mea culpa for not phrasing my question(s) in a way that the public can easily understand, but a few people did get the gist of my question. I do not give a flying fuck about that question anymore. > > Some of the reactions here have in fact changed my way of thinking about the way I will interact with other communities though. The amount of “how dare you” type comments elicited by my (in my mind) innocuous question, is enough to really change my state of mind on this sort of issue. > > Am I still for equal marriage rights? Yes. Am I as likely today to go out and vote for it? No. I’'m a bit indifferent now. > > I remember when it was just the lesbian and gay community, then LGBT, now I really don’t know what to call anything in that realm anymore. Take a letter out, add another… it doesn’t affect me either way. But to paint me as an ignorant bigot because of my wording, just makes me want to give up support for anything of that nature. _snip_ Well good! We don’t need the support of crybabies. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Actually, I think _this_ is the best way to explain it to the OP, but I’m guessing he won’t listen. That was one of the few that I thought did a decent job of rephrasing my question. > [@Imago](#): > > Well good! We don’t need the support of crybabies. I am so saddened to hear this. I have been a crybaby all of my life, and we are a proud people, but tend to be a bit weepy. Some guy on the internet didn’t like what I said once, and I cried like an infant for two days. I cry so much that I often think of desalinating the tears and sending them to either Africa or Narnia, whichever needs them more. I cry when it’s Tuesday and I was hoping it was Thursday. I cry when I put too much sriracha on my food. I cry when I have to change the TP in mid poop. I cry when Octo-mom degrades herself a bit more each day. Most recently though, I cry for you. Because you took time out of your day to make a pointless remark, because you think I cared about it, and because you chose the wrong vowel for the last letter of your username. We crybabies will continue to do our work, assist in tantrums, and give whining lessons to the poor. We tend to cry when we do good things, bad things, and even nothing, but we do cry real good. It saddens me a bit that there are zero crybabies backing you, but we will be here, crying. If you need us… well don’t bother, you’ve already said that you don’t.
