LGBTQA - Discussion and support.

[radical6]

The stigma against gays has always been worse than that of bi's and lesbians. It bothers me that the transgendered don't get as much face time, as theyre the most disenfranchised of the group. Another sad reality is that this is very much still a mans world. Women have risen to great heights, but theres still so much more we need to do. I dislike putting labels with equality because everyone deserves equality and to be free of discrimination.

imo they face the same? lesbians are sexualized a lot. and i mean a lot. look at lesbian porn, its made for straight men. lesbians have gotten comments like "can i watch you and your gf do it". like..i dont think people take them seriously. idk if they get killed as much as gay men but i think they still face a lot of gross stuff. and bisexuals are often ignored and face biphobia from gay and lesbian people??

and i would avoid using the ''ed'' after transgender?? yeah

I just stopped convincing people that I am really asexual and not "just need a REAL man to show me that blablabla"

thats so gross omg!! eww!! tell them to frick off wtf!!

also i saw some people say bisexuality includes non binary too?? i guess it can because the def for it is like "your gender and other genders" i think?? while other bisexuals dont want that and idk tbh its too confusing for me. ive used pansexual for a while but people always ask me "so u date pans" or dont take it seriously.

and idk if anyone else is like this but i feel sooo uncomfortable when people i dont know use she/her pronouns for me?? idk?? i would just like it better if people used they/their but i doubt people would because of "grammar"

I always call people I don't know by they- pronouns. Because it's a gateway to not accidentally use wrong pronouns for me. Tho I have had someone get angry at me for calling that person 'they' because I didn't know what this persons preferred pronouns were. Which I found weird because I had never met this person before so not sure why the person got so mad at me.

Also yesss, don't use "transgendered", just say transgender or trans/*.

I scored 4.

I scored an F: The test failed to match you to a Kinsey Type profile. Either you answered some questions wrong, or you are a very unusual person.
How is it even possible to answer those questions "wrong". =? Oh well...

I scored 4.

I scored 2 - "Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual."
Which is pretty much correct haha

Epic fail on the creator's behalf.

As a state of being, transgender is a verb and subject to the participle -ed. It's not meant to offend, but grammatically I believe it is correct.

i know some TERFs (trans exclusive radfems) that use 'they' pronouns on trans women even when they know their pronouns are she/her so i can kinda see why that person was upset? but yeah you didnt know!! but i end up using they/their pronouns for everyone too (if i dont know their pronouns). i think thats the safest route too yeah because like..they can be used for everyone i think? but i can totally see why that person was upset.

tbh i wanna use non binary pronouns but i feel like ill get laughed at ?? (and i dont want to explain to my family or school friends) though i heard in sweden they made an offical nonbinary pronoun (hen i think) which is cool!! but i feel like if people used they/their pronouns for me that would be okay though

what... okay.. um.. idk how to explain it because im too tired but i would honestly avoid saying that esp if youre cis. i dont really care if its grammatically correct because it can be rude?? (i dont think it is anyway because i saw a post a while ago talking about how it isnt correct)

 

[Beary]

I'm honestly not sure which one I am. It doesn't matter, to be honest. I'm pretty sure I am straight, but you never know at the age of 12. xD

I have nothing against lesbians & gay people. To be honest, I think that they are brave and kind.
c: Yay Gay rights

In Finland we've always had neutral pronoun "h?n". We don't have gendered pronouns at all. x) Tho we all call each other "se" which is "it". And it's not offensive to anyone. It's not just thing with teens, literally almost everyone calls each other that haha. Even our president is "it". It's just a cultural thing, we never offend anyone by calling someone it. And h?n is more used in a sarcastic tone.

Tho it's great our neighbor is getting neutral pronoun, but it's not new thing in the Nordic countries.

ahh thats awesome! i wish we had something like that here. over in america, everyone pretty much uses female and male pronouns and look at you weird if you dont want either.

 

[Fearthecuteness]

I think every country should start refuring to everyone as "it". Would be awesome.

 

[Tenyu]

Is anyone else peeved that that online Kinsey scale quiz scores you as being less gay (as a man) if you don't say you're sexually submissive? WAT?!

 

[Fearthecuteness]

Who cares? It's only a silly quiz to be taken for fun.

I dunno if bisexuality includes non-binary. I mean, yeah, it COULD, but bi is a prefix typically associated with "two".

I care. "Silly" or not it reinforces heteronormative, sexist ideas of what a relationship should look like.

yeah it could and ive always thought of bisexuality as being attracted to just girls and boys. though some bi people hate the term pansexual (and they hate pansexuals bc?? i get why some trans people do because like..ive seen pan people say "i dont see gender" which is kinda dumb) so they go with bisexual instead

I care. "Silly" or not it reinforces heteronormative, sexist ideas of what a relationship should look like.

isnt the first two questions kinda transphobic too omg (like what gender were you born as, what gender do you identify as.. which kinda says "you werent born a girl/boy/etc")

Just don't take it seriously. No matter what your score is on there you know it's not gonna be accurate. Only you can decide on how strong your sexuality is.

 

[Big Forum User]

I support it, people who don't, I don't know what to say. (that is, something to say that's civil)

 

[Lazyrs9090]

I'm in the closet, but no one questions it because I don't fit into the stereotype. I have a deep, booming voice, and I guess I have a lot of testosterone.
Some guys think it's weird how I don't talk about girls like how straight guys do, but they don't question it because they assume that's how introverted people are like when it comes to sexual conversations.
