4 panel comic:
1 NPC says: A Lesbian? You just haven’t had the right dick yet
2 person replies: But my gf has a dick
3 NPC with blank look
4 NPC looks angry
Lol at the comment not understanding that women can have dicks
my trans coworker a few jobs back showed us a meme: “Girls are like pizza. Some girls are like a plain cheese pizza. Girls like me are like a pizza with sausage.”
she was a trip. Fond working with her.
Which reminds me: never seen Polish or German sausage on a pizza.
Surely there must be some fetish site for that…
- Person replies: are you straight? You just haven’t had the right dick yet
Doesn’t work if the NPC is female tho
Helen launched a thousand ships but somehow people think that it’s dick that’s powerful? Please.
And that was only with her face!

Doesn’t make any sense.
Sure does, what’s tripping you up there?

Could you finish this statement, if possible? Trans woman are ______
Now I would recommend taking great care in how you answer. Some consideration of what instance you’re on would probably also help.
Trans women are wonderful and accepted parts of our society! Trans women sometimes have penises and that makes us twinsies because I have a penis too! Trans women are humans usually except for the aliens pretending to be humans and sometimes posing as Trans women!
There I finished it for you! Couldn’t help meself
And don’t forget women.
Trans wonen are women. Simple as.
Only in your own mind, making it a “you” problem, not one with reality.
So, can anyone explain why the “
\” symbol disappears when typed out normally? what do you have to do to make it register?Markdown formatting, \ is often used as what is called an escape sequence. I don’t knew the rules for lemmy’s markdown, just remember to add 2 \'s
with the shrug emoticon you have to use 3
the underscore is used for text formatting so you have to escape it and the back slash
2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3 ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh dear. In my client, Connect, the 2 slash version looks right and the 3 slash version has a doubled arm. I suspect it’s not rendering markdown correctly.
Lemme try:
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Okay idk how to describe this, but those two text strings above are seemingly identical in plain text, but one renders correctly, the other incorrectly in my client. I feel like I’m being gaslit.
Liftoff here, 2 is the right number… except in some comments where 3 works too unless it doesn’t 🤷
2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - OK (second italics escaped)
32 20 c2 af [5c 5c] 5f 28 e3 83 84 29 [5c 5f] 2f c2 af 0a
2 ¯\(ツ)/¯ - unescaped ITALICS
32 20 c2 af [5c 5c] 5f 28 e3 83 84 29 5f 2f c2 af 0a
3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - OK (first italics escaped)
33 20 c2 af [5c 5c] [5c 5f] 28 e3 83 84 29 5f 2f c2 af 0a
3 ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ - doubled
33 20 c2 af [e2 81 a0] [5c 5c] 5c [e2 81 a0] 5f [e2 81 a0] 28 [e2 81 a0] e3 83 84 [e2 81 a0] 29 [e2 81 a0] 5f [e2 81 a0] 2f [e2 81 a0] c2 af 0a

Ah, so there’s a non-printing character in there. It’s weird that the person making a demo to explain it made that mistake.
Huh. didnt think it was that east, thank you!
I just look up “shrug text emoji” and copy pasta that lol 😂
Here you go, this is how to make it appear properly in markdown: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
It will appear as this when you paste it: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks though I don’t seem to be having any issues, looks fine on kabin!
Oh my bad, I keep forgetting how differently the fediverse can look in different instances!
No worries I appreciate the help!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s often used to escape a character that would otherwise be interpreted as code. So you should be able to use two in a row to escape the escape. \
Thank you for explaining the drawing 🙏
Not sure if /s or not, so: some people can’t see, that is for their screen readers

I’ve met lesbians who have penises so you’re wrong.
Lesbian is defined by attraction to women with female parts.you aren’t a lesbian if you are attracted to penises. And if you’re not but in the relationship anyway it sounds like a shitty way to live.
Actually the definition is as simple as this: “a woman who is sexually or romantically attracted exclusively to other women; a gay woman.”
There is absolutely no mention of genitals in there. Also some people are asexual, but can still be in a relationship. You’re just adding boundaries to what a lesbian is that are non-existent.
I’m pretty sure a woman has female parts whatever those parts are.
A woman’s feet.
A woman’s nose.
A woman’s penis.A lesbian—being attracted to women—could be attracted to any of those parts.
You’re both idiots intentionally conflating sex and gender so you can argue with each other.
No I’m not, and you’re about three levels behind contemporary gender theory.
“Sex and gender are different!” is some Genderbread Person level understanding that I won’t assent to.
How we use them in everyday speech is interchangeable.
Trans women are female.
Trans women have female bodies and female anatomy.
Trans women have female endocrine systems.I won’t let you set up trans women to be othered.
How we use them in everyday speech is interchangeable.
Except when we need specificity, like in this incredibly stupid argument you’re having (with someone else, I’ll note, not me; I just chimed in to tell you you’re both stupid)
So you’re not involved in the discussion, you just want to out yourself as an asshole?
You do you, I guess!And specifically it’s a woman’s female penis, being engaged sexually by the woman it’s attached to’s lesbian lover. What are you not getting?
Not how it works.
See it is though. I’ve seen lovely happy couples—both women—where one or both of the women have penises.
They’re in successful lesbian relationships without your permission or approval.
They drink gay tea, live gay lives, and gaily care for their gay little cats unaffected one bit by your being wrong about who they are in love with.
… I have a question about those gay cats. Did they go to a special breeder to get them?
Because for the life of me I can’t figure out how that would work.Sorry, I don’t mean to make light of your comment. I’m glad to see anyone in a successful relationship, that’s precious enough on its own. Regardless of who you are or what you have.
… I have a question about those gay cats. Did they go to a special breeder to get them?
I shouldn’t have to tell you a breeder is the last place they would go.
