One of my biggest pet peeves is when people fling around their sexualities/orientations like they're your favourite pokemon that change every generation.
There's no such this as being an "ex-lebsian"... Do you think that you can just turn off who you feel attracted to whenever you feel like it?
i'm ex trans, i used to be straight but now im gay but i used to be bisexual too but then i decided that i didnt want to be attracted to women, but im thinking of reverting back to being heterosexual because dating a female wouldnt be all that bad y'know, and I gotta keep up with the latest trends too, so that means that I'm also asexual, as I was ex-pansexual
Yes.
I mean, there are people who experiment, at the same time say they're bi/pan/Demi/whatever else, and then once they're done experimenting (ie; figured out their sexuality), they'll identify as something else. Just because you have sexual relations with a person doesn't mean you're instantly that sexuality.
So yes, at least IMO, "ex lesbian" is something legit, and shouldn't be laughed at?? I mean if I once dated a girl, before I figured out my sexuality, then later discovered I was gay, and had zero interest in women, I would say that I used to be/identify as straight, but soon later realized I'm gay. I could have sex with a girl (whilst being gay), and years later say "I used to be in a heterosexual relationship, but now I'm gay" - that's just a different way of wording "ex straight".
It's the exact same with being trans, some people literally don't figure out they're transgender until they're in their 40's... I know someone whose aunt discovered she was trans when in her late 40's, and as a result, began transitioning. To me, that does fall under the "I was cisgender but now I'm trans", which is the exact same as saying "I used to be a lesbian, but now I'm straight". There is no time when and when you shouldn't say your what sexuality, and when you should or shouldn't say you're "ex" that
It is something that some people don't discover until late in life,and because if that, I think they should be able to say "I am "ex" ...." Simply because you "changed" your sexuality, but in reality you actually just realized apwhat your sexuality is. It was just something that was always there, you just didn't realize it until late. Whilst I don't thing using "ex" is the correct term to describe it, it's pretty similar and idk why you felt the need to face palm??
Plus, let's not forget, there was that guy who was a straight football player, had a stroke, and then after his stroke, was gay and became a hairdresser... To me, that definitely counts as being "ex straight", it was a part of him that changed as a result of something else.
I don't think "ex ...." Is the right term to use (it sounds weird), but I do believe it is a thing and it isn't somethin that should be looked down upon
Idk I usually avoid this thread because it's full of crazies but I felt like that was something that needed to be said.
I didn't, but school was canceled today and I haven't gone anywhere, so nobody but me and my family would have seen it.
