LGBTQA - Discussion and support.

?? what do you mean?? because they wrote "genderless" and their age?? or them saying they're a person of colour even though they're white?? (which is the super racist part)

No because they are obviously not serious and racist with the last part. If they are for real non-cis that I don't know. But they kinda proven to be really fake-looking with that thing.

Also of course you can be of African descent with white/albino skin but that way is just.. uh

Can't really explain the difference between gender and gender expression rn, its rather complex unless you study it

two-spirit is a native american identity. they dont always call themselves trans/lgbt but some do. it's existed before colombus even came to the americas, so its very much an actual real thing.

im not native american so i cant really describe it, but from what i see its like, having two spirits/genders? they perform both the male and female tasks in a tribe i think. its better to ask an actual native american person, since i dont know enough about cultural context of it either.

uh
gender is your gender, like what you identify as. gender expression is how you express your gender (wearing "male" clothing, having long hair, having a beard, wearing makeup etc. stuff that makes people around you think of you in a gendered way ;

 

[Alienfish]

Pretty much what they said above. Some may do it more or less explicit depending on how secure and/or how much they want to show.

I also have lots of questions because I still don't understand the appeal for all this social justice thing(tumblr), sexual identity, gender identity, etc etc
People can rant all they want if they 'believe' they're otherkin/fox/ducks/angles/male/female

Reality is inevitable period
But I guess if it's the only way to make you feel happy in this life span, go for it

same I pretty much don't care anymore at this point

 

[Knopekin]

Right, so I'm sorry if any part of this is offensive, and my only defense is I grew up with the LGBT acronym without anything after it, and that the T stood for 'transexual', which pretty much exclusively referred to people identifying as the binary gender they were not assigned at birth.

I've never identified as trans, and definitely wouldn't want to because it would feel disingenuous, but I also feel that lots of people just don't want lots of assumptions made about them because they're male or female, and that doesn't make them trans.

Obviously being misgendered (someone referring to you as a gender you're not) is rough, but someone assuming things about you based on your gender (you're a guy so you must like football, you're a girl so you must like makeup) is also incredibly tedious, and can be really damaging to kids. But conceptualizing male = masculine things and female = feminine things is reductive and damaging to everyone.

Or you can use a more prefer label, which is just being 'me'

But off topic
I got a chocolate cake

Also my English isn't really good

cause people don't even know who they are, being afraid of what the next person will say
adding up to why people create all these unnecessary labels.

i dont wanna talk or think or explain or argue about anything anymore just dont care anymore, even if that means i cant exist .. so i just exist, im a cloud hurray
all this mess is just.. whats the point besides headaches.
everyones missing the point of their own arguments on all these topics and dont consider consequences of statements for others, noones listening, noone can listen anymore, everyones hurt, noone understands
i don't like this scream/shout culture.. mostly on tumblr/twitter .. i dont like these people empowering minorities only to attack them more efficiently soon after. it's really hard to actually be anything amongst this. people with no voice arent considered and get left behind. anything that isnt 100% inclusive is problematic.

this isnt about anything particular said here.. just general rant -_-

I think they're fed up with people who refuse to understand anything said to them. I am too tbh.

A bit hesitant about posting this..
I don't know what I should identify as anymore. I used to identify as demigirl, but i'm not sure if that is right because one day I feel, best word for it is girly, and the next I just feel wrong in my own skin? (if that makes no sense, I mean that it doesn't feel right, I don't feel girly whatsoever, I just don't think the girly'ness about me, on those days, is right).

I dunno. ?\_(ツ)_/?

 

[oath2order]

sorry remind me what the heck demigirl is

 

[Sleepi]

sorry remind me what the heck demigirl is

"gender identity describing someone who partially, but not wholly, identifies as feminine"

You sound genderfluid to me, but I'm not you so I can't be sure. I identify as genderfluid rn because I'm in the same boat lol, how I feel varies quite often.

thank you for responding to what I said and trying to help me out here ^^ I think i'll do some research on that.

 

[radical6]

i wanted to do something for trans awareness week but its too late to get anything on there.

I went to a Christmas parade and there was a LGBTQA+ pride float. Of course it was all Christmas decorated and such cause it was a Christmas parade but it was still nice to see a whole float dedicated to this community!
