The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.
This is a general thread for discussing topics related to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, intersex, pansexual, two-spirit (2S) aromantic and asexual topics as well as a community space for goons that identify as one or more.

This is a thread that gets made every once in a while and I hope it can be a good space. :)

For something to talk about initally; How did you realize you were a part of the community and What is the most important thing for us to focus on activism-wise in the near future?

I've had a bit of journey in terms of identity.

In highschool I said I was bi, since I liked men and women at the time. (Even I had a prewoke period).

Once I got to college I started to experiment a bit and tried out they/them pronouns for a while as a freshman. That didn't quite fit, and I had thoughts about being a woman since middle school, but I really needed to be away from family to start thinking about it. I think I decided to transition medically after attending a Laura Jane Grace concert (Against Me!) and wandering around campus late at night alone while crying. I came out to my best friend and have been quite happy being a lady, although I'm not super duper fem aside from my hair, which I've been growing out for 8 years now. It's pretty long these days and I love brushing it.

I've been on HRT since then, and I think it significantly changed my libido and these days I say I'm asexual, since I don't gently caress and don't care. It's a little weird to see how mechanistic my desires are, but it really doesn't affect my life since, well, goon.

kids on the school-bus and in gym class kept calling me "human being" and i was like "that can't be correct, i'm not attracted to men" but it turns out human sexuality is pretty complex!

only took me a few decades after that to start transitioning but oh well better late than never

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

they keep adding letters but they still can't make a satisfying anagram out of them. it's a conundrum, like do you keep inventing sexualities and hoping you get some vowels in there or do you stick with what you got so it doesn't get any longer?

Yes, but it also makes you sex negative and are therefore cancelled

I wanted to gently caress constantly regardless of context and generally acted like a horny idiot* while testosterone dominant and a few weeks after starting HRT the way I got horny and my interest in other people both massively changed to be a lot more situational and overall less something that I wanted to share with partners. Two pills changed what used to be such an important thing into a non-issue over a few weeks.

* Admittedly some of that is down to being a teenager but it's pretty common for sex drive to decrease without testosterone and increase with T across AMAB and AFAB people.

That sounds derogatory. Like if I saw someone call a gay person a QUILTBAG I'd think it was some sort of Freeper slur.

found out I was bi or whatever because I got incredibly horny while reading a seanbaby article in middle school

I think I was too into the research paper I did on how to expand coverage on gender confirmation treatments in college freshman year to be strictly cis

Wouldn't you need to translate each letter in to different languages to get the appropriate acronyms?
