Going to throw in a few other unique examples like how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is almost always called by her first and last name or the initials AOC. Similarly Ilhan Omar is almost always referred to by her first and last name.
The right loved to call Obama, Barack Hussein Obama with emphasis on Hussein to highlight how non-white he was, pin him as Muslim, and draw associations to Sadam Hussein. This was done to rile up their xenophobic and racist base.
AMAB is Assigned Male at Birth meaning typically born with genitalia interpreted as a penis but is sometimes due to parents/doctor choosing if the baby's genitalia is not a penis or vagina.
Likewise, AFAB is Assigned Female at Birth meaning typically born with genitalia interpreted as a vagina but is sometimes due to parents/doctor choosing if the baby's genigalia is not a penis or vagina.
You seem like a good and reasonable person, and I'm glad you're aware of your feelings and not reacting super negatively towards the existence of trans people over them. I'd recommend thinking through this a bit more sometime.
Sure, most people are only into men or women, but most people don't start off getting to know someone before sex is on the table with a "by the way, what genitals do you have?" That feels reductive and is a major red flag to most trans people. It's similar to how chasers who pursue trans women with a penis as a fetish. We're so much more than our genitals.
In case you ever end up in sex talks with someone who either at that moment comes out as trans or mentions what genitals they have, handle that conversation delicately. Many of us and don't want the genitals we have but surgery is too expensive, but we also don't want to have sex with someone agonizing over our genitals or don't want that part interacted with at all if we do. This is also why many trans people date within the trans community to alleviate these kinds of issues.
Lucky for you, some trans people who are AMAB get surgery to change that penis into a vagina or something else. There are also plenty of gender fluid or nonbinary trans people who are AFAB and don't have or want a penis.
However, maybe get to know someone first and decide if you are attracted to them as a person before reducing them to their genitals. There are a lot of ways to have sex with trans people, and if you're into them, they're into you and they happen to have a penis, I'm sure you two can figure something out.
I remember it randomly, but I think "oh, no I haven't responded to this in so long, I can't respond to it now" and agonize about it for the rest of time while still never responding or finally working up the courage to weeks or months later
"Too blessed to be depressed" - they're a Christian fundamentalist who is depressed but trying to convince themselves otherwise. You should run.
And Battle Royale totally ripped off Hunger Games
It can be both, and in this case is. They put the foam bricks in place as an April fools joke to raise awareness and plan to leave them, but they don't think the city will allow the foam bricks to stay.
Magnus Protocol which seems like AU Magnus Archives just started too, so now is a great time to get into it!
If you're into kink at all, I remember kink.com being great about picking out people into kink with various fantasies and organizing the shoot for them to live it out in a safe and healthy environment. They have several BDSM resources for those interested in getting into it safely and have a focus on consent.
I haven't really watched porn in years though, so no idea if they're still as good as they were. Now I mostly just read it, appreciate the art of pics, and exist in kink/sex positive spaces.
It took me a little over a year of playing, ~1100 East games, ~400 South games, and several failed yakuman waits, but I finally got one!
Link to the game below if anyone is curious. I Yakuman in East 2 and end the game, so it's short.

Yep, I do this all the time. I think I often have more social anxiety online than I do IRL. Everything has to align just right for me to be willing/able to post comments.
