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.

True, very true. I'm ok being referred to as male, he/him, all that.

Inside, though, I'm much closer to a Jonathan Van Ness than I am to a 'typical' guy's guy.

Anyway, happy pride!

I'm pretty similar for what it's worth. I present as a cishet male because the nuance isn't important to me and that's what I am externally so I roll with it, but I am definitely not traditionally masculine or feminine at all and don't tend to get involved with friend groups that are. I don't want to tell anyone "this is what you are because it's what I am!" so I am definitely not saying that's what you've gotta be but when I was questioning myself there weren't many voices around me saying "Hey it's ok to just not know/care, it doesn't matter, just be yourself and respect others" so I figured I'd throw one out there :cool:

Opinion: The best gay cowboy movie is Wagons East! featuring John C McGinley as the extremely flamboyant rear end-kicking hunky bookseller

Please share your opinions on this topic as well.

Not directly related but my favourite gay cowboy of the moment is Orville Peck.

I have never felt more comfortable being anything else than I have felt from being queer. I am, very obviously, a deeply insecure and people pleasing individual, always have been. But - since coming out over a decade ago, my queerness and what its bled into, a small little pocket of who I truly am, feels most like “me”. It is something I hope everyone can feel, and feel safely.

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.

I relate to this so hard. It's not necessarily a time of the month thing per se but I definitely go in cycles. Sometimes I'm way more thirsty for women, other times men.

I had trouble accepting I was bi because I would look at a swimsuit model and think "I'm not attracted to her, so I must not really be into women." But show me Eliza Dushku in a leather jacket and ask me to repeat that with a straight face.

Also, this. When I accepted I was bi and started using that term to describe myself, I felt right. Like the puzzle pieces fit together. I also got an undercut and blue highlights and I feel like I'm (very slightly) more visibly readable as queer and I feel so much more comfortable.

big bear bi checking in. went to a small town pride earlier this month and had great fun, surprisingly no shitheads showed despite facebook threats because bigots are cowards. I bought some of this chocolate by an adorable gay couple, I buy it every year because it fuckin rules super hard, you can maybe buy some here (I don't know what their shipping situation is)
https://www.stachechocolate.com/
I got the raspberry chocolate bar and the annual pride bar (it changes every year). It is quit literally the best chocolate I've ever eaten in my whole drat life.

I'm going to another small town pride later this month to support my chosen family brother and his family (they are all but sure their son is trans and they want him to see positive community and let him make whatever decision is best for him).

Also I listen to lots of queer punk so if you want me to post too much queer punk pls ask ty i <3 u

If you don't understand why people would want a pride thread, during pride month then you're either really thick or willfully obtuse.

Seth and co, please probe anyone who tries the "straight pride month" stuff please and thank you. Just gently caress right off please.

Pages back, but I was responding to someone doing the "straight pride" thing as a part of the usual page 1 thread-making GBS threads. I was also very drunk at the time and didn't express myself very well. I wasn't asking why this thread exists but, rather, how it could exist with that poo poo that you called out being tolerated. I just did so poorly. Apologies for that.

It's not SA related, but I would like to give a call out to the people I fell away from that helped me understand better than anyone else:

Trout, who, in great detail, told me of the abuses he faced for coming out as male. This was in 2000 and he was promptly beaten and thrown down two flights of stairs yet never relented in being himself.

Shaun, my former "girl"friend, who ditched me at prom to instead take Kat, one of the lesbians we hung out with. He didn't begin transitioning until a couple of years after we mostly lost touch, but I am proud of him nonetheless.

Kat herself for being brave enough to be open about her sexuality in a place where such was anathema and could get a person beaten.

Another Cat for being awesome, and also modeling a work-in-progress chainmail bikini top for me as her overprotective transgender boyfriend glared at me. Can't remember his name offhand, but he was cool and his trying to look out for Cat solidified him as awesome in my mind at the time.

Rich and David. They took me and my fiance in when we took a trip to Florida and couldn't make the full drive in one night. We ate Chinese takeout under lantern light on their living room table since their electricity got cut off temporarily. David wore flannel and was a driver for Budweiser. Rich's twin brother was the very textbook picture of "flaming" and leaned way too hard into it. But they were all awesome. The unflushed condoms in the toilet the morning after were a bit much, but there being three of them suggested they had a good night, lol

My niece, Daisy (as in Princess Daisy from Mario Bros.), who started transitioning just two years ago. Led a rough life and is finally finding herself. She was always unique and resilient and I am so, so proud of her finding both her place and her voice and being true to herself. She was always secretly my favorite "nephew," and now she's my most doted on niece.

And many others, although I admit a lot of them were acquaintances and work-related friends since I am not very social. I was absolutely devastated when the local gay bar, Mo'z, shut down. That was one of the few places I liked going out to drink. Hell, I spent an evening as a cute Mexican guy's birthday present there, lol. He was adorable even if we didn't understand eachother, but his cousin translated just fine.

In any case, I would like to request a six hour probation for my previous comment. Just to act as an example. Even if I feel it was a misunderstanding, it's better to start this thread off strong by taking a no-nonsense approach and showing that any sort of poo poo talking in this thread will absolutely not be tolerated during Pride Month. Or anytime, for that matter. Please and thank you

I only get more queer with each passing year, as my old brain stops giving a gently caress. I used to struggle with my identity, thinking I wasn't "really" bi or wasn't bi enough, but then I realized I was probably just internalizing negative poo poo and learned to love the dick.

I still get to love boobs though, and that's pretty cool too!

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.

It it your child, take the 11yo to a child psychiatrist recommended by trans support resources. Leave it to the experts who know how to sort out those things. Even if it's not a crippling dysphoria--or simply a transitory confusion--articulating those feelings and emotions aren't easy, and having a medical expert who's not driven by a religious establishment's arbitrary imperative will mean more if/when it comes to taking action on those feelings of being trans, and how best to do it.

A lot of the overturned laws against gender care are based on medical doctors looking out for patients first and foremost. As expensive as seeing a specialist is, it's a medical record that can be used to sue the figurative trousers off some fundie nerd who won't fill a prescription when it matters.

Nah, you're good. I think all of us mods and IKs are trying to keep a close watch on this thread, and our general policy is to nuke homophobia and transphobia on sight across GBS.
