IDK where I fall on the spectrum.

I threw a big fit when I learned about puberty and how I was going to go through menstruation and developing breasts and I was scared and wanted to be a boy instead because they didn't have to go though that.

The way I type seems like a shitpost but it's true, I really did go through those feelings of what I wanted for my life at 12 years old. Puberty is difficult.

I'm a Cis het woman, I think. I like dudes or male presenting people. I'd like to get the F46 reduced a bit because ow, my back, but other than that I'm comfortable in my skin now.

I feel wrong even saying I'm an ally, because maybe I'm not? I don't identify as Trans, but I am...me. Non-binary probably.

It's definitely wrong that that legislation can remove your rights as a person.

Black Gold!

Driving with my family to a steak house way out in the sticks earlier and out of nowhere, a rainbow appears in the clouds. It hasn’t rained recently and the clouds were only wispy, but it made me think of our close longtime gay family friend who lost his life to a stroke in 2005. Coincidentally, his birthday is tomorrow during pride month.

Happy birthday, Albert :unsmith:

Sorry I'm thinking of the negative side.

If I wear my pride clothes am I appropriating gay culture? I have been accused as such.

That's one of those things where someone will say you can't and others like me who could care less. People care more about straight people coming into gay safe spaces than what clothes you wear I assure you. Show up, hold hands, it's not complicated.

Knew I was queer for a fairly long period of time. Really came to fruition in my early 20s when a non-binary person who was on my delivery route asked me out. I wanted to be in a relationship with them so I came out shortly thereafter, didn't want to hide anything and make them feel like they weren't worth it.

Been happier ever since.

Being queer and as masc as I am has given me some weird hang ups - like there's some litmus test in my head where I'm always asking whether I'm enough to be a part of this community. Invariably, people always make me feel welcome as I am.

Relish stealing and binning transphobic and homophobic signs from bigots who protest in front of our legislature on weekends.

Be gay, do crimes, All Cats Are Buddies, happy pride.

Oh yeah for sure, that's how I feel about it. I'm the least preformative person. Some get weird about it tho, idk. Just typing thoughts I guess.

Rainbows kick rear end is all and I'm here for it.

I have an 11 year old who has expressed interest in being Trans and I don't know how to navigate it. Not because I'm against it but because it's kind of a big decision and legislation is getting really scary lately and I feel like I'm walking a very thin line and it's terrifying sometimes.

I just want them to grow up and be a happy person one way or the other, yaknow.

Rambling now, it's a lot to think about.

The best thing you can do is just be there for them and support them as much as possible. I'm not sure where you live but I'm sure there'll be some sort of organisations or charities both locally and nationally who can you both navigate this in the best way. I'm sure there's some goons who might have more information to help? :3:

tbh, i grew up in the times when racism and homophobia was standard societal fare. my dad and grampa cracked vile jokes and i laughed at them. it took me a long time to see how hosed up and wrong that was, but i did see eventually. i try not to let my past self jump out and say stupid poo poo but sometimes my filters fail.

I saw enough carefree posting earlier in the thread to feel like sharing one of my own actual not-a-joke early experiences with non-straightness, but I acknowledged that I would probs catch a probe for it given this site's history. Sorry if one or more of y'all took it as an insulting fakepost.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

Right now, I'm a male presenting goon who is about 60lbs overweight. I have a slight beard and short hair.

While I'm not trans, and more power to those who are, this is not who I want to be. This is not me inside. I am far more effeminate than I currently present and I am moving towards being more open with that.

I'm slowly losing weight, and I'm growing my hair out. I shave constantly, and am trying my best to take care of my skin.

Also, I'm bi, but I feel like I'm... More bi certain times of the month. Does that make any sense? Like most of the time, I question it because I'm so into women.... And then for like a week, I'm all... well, sort of kinda into guys.

For what it's worth (and I'm not saying this is you, only you can know yourself!) it's totally cool to be agender and just uninterested in things that are explicitly or implicitly gendered in either direction because you don't feel like either one appeals to you.

As long as being "agender" doesn't mean "Traditional gender roles and I hate when WOKE people talk about GENDER" to you then agender is cool, no one has to have a gender identity at all, they just need to respect the gender identities of those that do. IMO.
