Title: (Oh the places you'll go, and) the people you'll meet!
Post by: Gattoartico on June 05, 2017, 09:25:54 PM
Sorry about the name, I just felt like putting the whole saying there. Anywhoodles I think here is a good place to put this thread.

Say a little something about yourself, like sexuality, gender, all that fun stuff! I know a good number of you but I don't know these kinds of things, and I feel like new members who join for the LGBTQ community could use this thread to find another forum member that is in a similar boat as them. Particularly if they're struggling with their identity they can find someone else who has gone through it and found themselves, or is going through it. (I honestly don't know those kinds of things about y'all.) So see! Even someone who's been here awhile needs a little help learning about the diversity of this community!

So have some fun sharing guys, gals, and non-binary pals! (Gods I love Thomas Sanders)

I'll start: I'm bi and a guy(that rhymed! Lol)

I'm gay and I am a cisgender, non conforming guy. And by that I mean that I identify as male but do not abide by societies ideals of masculinity.

I'm a bisexual/pansexual and cisgender male.

This means I mostly like men parts, but on occasion I can also like women parts. And I can get into someone with both parts as well. :P

I, sadly, lack much of an ass at all. But I have a great personality. Haha. But in all seriousness I have other skills. Of which there may or may not be video evidence. ;)

I have a thing for Asians as well, but really I like all different kinds of people...one of the things I like is that there's all sorts of people, with all sorts of personalities, and all sorts of bodies and body parts. I can say I've never gotten bored with the possibilities.

I'm honestly rather particular. At least sexually. For me the first thing I check out is a person's face. If I don't like that then it's a no go. It's funny because most of my gay friends look at a guy and are like, "Nice ass." While I'm sitting there thinking, "What lovely cheekbones."

A face can attract me, but other things can do...some muscles (but not too much, I don't like muscle-men), a nice belly, some moobs...especially if it's a shirt that really makes them stand out. A nice happy trial if their shirt lifts up when they stretch or yawn...

A lot of things, really. :P

Admittedly, I find most guys other than myself sexy. Though I do tend towards the leaner frames. Me? I feel my sexiest and most beautiful when I'm dolled out in a hot dress and. Fantastic wig.

Hello everyone, my name is Maxwell...and I'm a homosexual.

*waits for crowd to say "hi Maxwell!"

I identify as 95% homosexual - I'm mainly into guys, however I'm never closed to the possibility that there could be a woman out there that I may find myself attracted to.

I'm also a cisgender male, though I place myself in the middle of the spectrum.  I dress purely male (dressing in "female" attire doesn't appeal to me outside of drag), though my personality is what puts me in the middle of the spectrum since I have traits that some might consider feminine as well as masculine...though I usually don't care enough to try to distinguish between the two.

I suppose I should post here... I originally came here while I was in the Hogwarts region for a Werewolf game, that was about a year ago and my memory is so bad I forget all the details of it, but I remembered this place and noted the LGBT tag which drew me back here. I don't want to make this about me, so probably better if nobody replies to this, but let me tell you why finding a place to be accepted is important to me.

I am bisexual. I think I knew around middle school or early high school, it's somewhat of a grey area because I was considered to be "confused" at first and even I didn't know that bi was valid back then.
Unfortunately I also didn't know about the stigma back then. I was known as a slut at school. I wasn't. And I hate that word now. But that's what they called me. I gave it no thought, it didn't bother me at first. Maybe it should have, maybe I should have denied it earlier? I wasn't very aware back then. I may have been perceived as fitting the "dumb blonde" stereotype despite not having the right hair color for it. It got bad though. That's all I was to them. Then it got worse, I still think that because of who I was, and because of my reputation, that's why a guy I thought I could trust raped me. Skipping some parts I don't especially want to talk about right now; it's because to them bisexual girl = slut, I knew nobody would believe me, and the reputation got worse. I felt alone. I couldn't talk to anyone, even though I needed to. Living in a conservative area that I knew wanted to "fix" me, I couldn't go to the community, and I couldn't go to anyone at school. I was even too afraid to talk to family, because I didn't want them to know what everyone at school thought of me, and they didn't know back then that I'm bisexual. I have a feeling they secretly know but won't force me to talk about it, either way I have nobody around here I can talk to. It hurt so much back then being alone, I even blamed myself, I thought things like maybe if I just chose one way or hid it better or something, this wouldn't have happened to me. So for a long time I denied it. I went far away to college on purpose, where I passed as heterosexual, I didn't fall for any of my roommates so it wasn't too hard. I never talked about bisexuality, rape, or my false reputation as a slut back then. Didn't help me feel better though. It felt fake. Even though I had a fear of men for awhile, and may still have a little of that fear, that didn't change my sexuality.
About 2-3 years ago I started trying to change. Being more open. Trying to heal. Trying to find people I don't have to hide things from.
Perhaps this can be one of those places. We don't have to talk about bisexuality, I think I'll just feel a little better being able to say that I am bi around people who get it, and won't judge me for it, and won't call me a slut or dismiss me as one. I still have a lot of issues but I'm trying to get better and I think finding a place where I can be accepted will help.

Really? Most of them are fairly common and/or self-explanatory...

Heteroromatic = romantically straight
Metrosexual = young, urban, often liberal, fashionable male (basically a stereotypically "gay" dude)
Bipolar = a mental disorder alternating between depression and mania
Misanthrope = hates people

Not to be too much of a downer but can we stop throwing around the word sociopath? Honestly, it's like the new fad to say you have sociopathic tendencies if you stray a bit towards antisocial. But really, psychopaths and sociopaths lack any sort of moral compass. And too be honest it's a little annoying to see serious mental disorders minimized like that.

I'm bisexual.  I've known since I was pretty young that I was into girls, and discovered I was into guys as well when I was spending a weekend at my best friend's house back in high school.

My bication would be New York.  I've always wanted to go there and go on a Broadway binge, and I think it'd be romantic to take someone along and enjoy the city sights together.

Welcome to the region and to the Pride area! I must say, it sounds like there's a story to weekend at the best friends place. My curiosity is piqued.

I wonder if, like me, many of the new people were drawn to this region after seeing the LGBT-friendly tag. If not, I like the idea of thinking that this is a completely representative sample of people, and thus there are more bisexuals than it seems, and that we've all just been in hiding because we're tired of being asked about threesomes, being accused of being more likely to cheat in a relationship, and being described as "sluts".

I've wondered before if it would be easier if everyone were bisexual. No more worries about incompatible sexuality again... so awkward when you don't know who someone is into but you want to flirt.
I suppose everyone being asexual would fix that too, but I'm less certain of the long-term effects of that.

Post by: Wintermoot on July 28, 2017, 05:45:07 PM
I actually think most people have the capacity to be bisexual to some extent under the right circumstances...they meet and fall for the right person, they have the right encounter or experience, or the right epiphany, and I think it'll be easier to do so as society becomes more accepting of same-sex relationships and the stigma disappears.

It may already even be happening...I remember reading the results of a survey in Britain that indicated a 45% increase in the number of people under 24 that identified as LGB, with almost all the gains being made in the B category. Another thing I read indicated that even many people who identified as straight admitted to having had a same-sex encounter or attraction.

I'm reminded also of how same-sex sex (at least between men) was accepted in ancient Rome and Greece, before the rise of Christianity. Actually in Rome, it wasn't the gender of the person you were fooling around with that could cause a stigma, it was their social class. It may well be that we're returning to the natural behaviour of humanity that's been pushed underground and oppressed by religion.

Post by: NyghtOwl on July 29, 2017, 04:02:33 AM
Hmmmmm.....I'll be honest. I don't think everyone is "no to an extent". I certainly know I'm at the 100% homo end of the spectrum. And I've had people use that argument against me before. "If you found the right girl" Or "No one is 100% either way." Always really grated on me, personally.
Title: (Oh the places you'll go, and) the people you'll meet!
Post by: Wintermoot on July 30, 2017, 03:53:05 PM
Nonetheless, there's growing evidence that people are becoming more comfortable with having experiences with both genders, and even labeling themselves as bisexual. I myself considered myself to be gay for many years, until I met the right girl that made me realize that wasn't the case, and we both know straight guys who turn out to be somewhat more...flexible.

I'm not saying it's impossible for someone to be 100% straight or gay. I'm just saying that I think there will be far fewer people who claim to be (especially claim to be 100% straight) as society changes and becomes more accepting of same-sex relationships, and people are better able to explore themselves and their relationships without the same social/family/cultural pressure to be a certain thing and strictly adhere to it in their actions.

Post by: Michi on July 31, 2017, 01:40:10 AM
While I do believe there are some out there that are pure 100% one way or another...I believe they're actually a small variety.  While I feel that more would hit more in the 80s-90s (as mentioned, I consider myself in the mid 90s range).  Mainly because you haven't met every single woman in your lifetime, yet.  You may very well still run into one that ticks the boxes that you thought a woman would never be able to tick...and vice versa for lesbians who may meet that one man.

Hell, you may never meet them in your lifetime, but that doesn't mean that the one potential woman/man to make you question your sexuality doesn't exist.  Just like similarly the same could be said for the one potential man/woman that could make a straight guy/girl question their own sexuality.

To that I can say only this, Vaginas creep me the fuck out. They remind me of the facehuggers from the Alien franchise. And while I can appreciate a beautiful woman I just have no sexual attraction to them.

I can respect that.  Personally, I don't foresee myself falling in love with a woman any time soon since, like you, I have no sexual attraction to them at this very moment.  But life can also be funny sometimes, too.

Suddenly, I have a new reason to not see Alien.

~

I'm female, and I don't know what sexuality I am. I either haven't had a crush or feelings of that ilk yet, or I have, but haven't recognised those feelings as being those feelings. I've no idea if I'm straight, lesbian, bi, specific-person-sexual, or any other label... or if I'm just plain-old emotionally dense. Then again I'm only a young adult so I'm "still cooking" in regards to my identity, so to speak. I'll wait for a decade or so and see if any opinions develop.

You dont really need to worry about labels and stuff. I mean I'm still trying to figure things out myself but I know that any specific label may not apply to me. Just love whoever you want to love and figure things out from there.

Labels are becoming less relevant anyways, what with the constantly shifting definitions for everything dealing with sexuality and gender.

To that I can say only this, Vaginas creep me the fuck out. They remind me of the facehuggers from the Alien franchise. And while I can appreciate a beautiful woman I just have no sexual attraction to them.

I'm straight, and I think that vaginas look dutty

I'm straight, and I think that vaginas look really weird. I think most people aren't really into (ba-dum-tsh) the vagina, but the other parts of a woman.

Eh, that's the thing. I can appreciate a beautiful woman. But there's just nothing goin on downstairs for em.

To me, even breasts aren't appealing.  I don't care to look at them, and even when covered they just look weird to me.  I've even had women that have offered to let me motorboat them, but I don't really see the point.  It seems silly, and it would just feel both awkward and weird for me.

Oh you don't have to control yourself! Really, it's alright, I was just a little surprised is all. Nothing against it though. And I feel you. I've been that quite a bit as well, and like you said it seems to be more prominent as I acquire more effeminate traits. I hate it honestly.

I've started wearing rings most of the time, including more feminine ones. I've also been painting my nails. On top of that I'd say some of my more feminine mannerisms have become more pronounced.

Ah I see. I guess it's hard to explain. I have what would be called perhaps traditionally feminine or stereotypically gay hand movements? It's also part of the way I hold myself. It's more pronounced with my hands I think. Again, it's hard to explain but the best I can say is that I move my hands and use them in a more sort of flowey, traditionally feminine manner as many people may see it

Interesting. I've always had a more femenine posture and mannerisms. But with someone who doesn't expect certain levels of masculinity from me I've been able to relax and its become a lot more pronounced, myself the past year or so. Granted, some of that is my drag persona leaking through lol.

I'm Barnes, otherwise known as Trainer James on our Discord chat. You can probably guess my real name from there.

I'm 19 and a cis gay guy. (I hesitate to say man since I look and act quite a bit younger.)

I'll admit my relationship with sexuality is rather complicated. For a long time as a kid, I genuinely thought I was straight, most likely by default and since all of my friends growing up were girls. Then I reached junior high, discovered porn, and started exploring my sexuality. (It was "the cool thing to do", as all of my best friends were questioning themselves as well.)

For a while my self-image fluctuated between ace (since I'd never been in a sexual relationship, and still haven't), bi (since I thought I had romantic feelings for girls as well as guys), and gay. This questioning had still continued for a while after I'd come out to a couple of my friends, but I did eventually settle on gay as a personal label. This is in spite of the fact that the Kinsey scale would probably put me closer to 5 than to 6, but I don't personally see myself being in a relationship with a woman any time soon.

I'm really not out to many people at all, which I feel shameful about. A couple of my best friends know, my mom knows (since she basically coerced it out of me), and my little brother (who's also gay and much more flamboyant than me) knows, and that's about it.

I live in one of the gayest cities in North America, and I haven't involved myself in gay culture at all. I haven't gone to pride, I haven't gone to any gay bars or drag shows, and I despise dating apps and websites. LGBT events "aren't really the place for me", since I neither feel like I fit in, nor do I really want to. (Forgive me, since I know that sounds insensitive.) The gayest thing about me other than my sexuality is when I did musical theater for a year in high school, and everyone still thought I was straight.

All in all I feel quite lonely in my sexuality. To say that I don't talk about it much is an understatement. Online is really the only way I express myself, and even then it's rather limited. I don't really believe I have any real hope of finding a long-term relationship, since I'm not actively looking and hate talking about myself.

It's actually gotten me into a pretty deep depression for a while, since I had nobody to turn to for expressing my feelings: that, and a lot of other personal things that stemmed from moving to a new town, the financial struggles of balancing both university and work, and personal lack of direction. I eventually did drop out of school and have tried therapy off and on (including an LGBT support group), and I luckily feel a lot better about my self-image now, but none of that has really addressed my sexuality, even the support group.

I'm not sure what else to say, since this dragged on a lot longer than I thought it would. I suppose writing this has been therapeutic in a way.

I'm 21 now, and still a cis gay guy (about 90% gay and always have been). I feel a lot more comfortable with myself now, though I'm still single.

It's a weird process. Affirming sexual interactions help. And flirting. Lots of flirting. :P

I believe it's about time somebody revived this topic. In any case; howdy folks, my name is Kaylum - I am a fairly masculine 21 year old cis-male.

For those who are already aware, I identify as heterosexual. However, roughly a month ago, I was curious about exploring my sexuality, given there were moments in my life where I may have been attracted to someone other than the opposite sex; for me, I felt the most comfortable way of exploring was through pornography, due to my socially-awkward nature and the fact that I've never been in a relationship, let alone dated anyone.

Recently, I came to the conclusion that I am pansexual / omnisexual. As of this post, I'm still questioning whether I prefer to identify as one or the other, but for now I've settled on omnisexual. I mostly have a preference for cis and trans women, or femininity in general.

@Dawcreek: How far you've come in such a short amount of time...you are uniquely introspective and earnest, and I think that allows you to face things like this that many others would get hung up on. Congrats on discovering a whole new side of yourself! Based on my own experiences, I think you'll find there's always something of yourself to explore there, and you'll have fun while doing it. It's the start of a great thing for you, I think, and I'm glad I'm here to see where your journey takes you. :)

I think the label itself doesn'y matter as much as how you personally just feel you identify as far as what you prefer.  I think it's awesome that you're exploring your sexuality like that, and if you're someone attracted to femininity whether it be a cis or trans female, with a possibility of being open to more (since you said mostly), just go with that.  Or just explore what you enjoy as you're doing and go with that since for some people, sexuality is always evolving compared to a simply static label that never changes.  Go with what you feel inside rather than feeling like you have to put the name on it.

Kudos to you for coming out with it though, I'm really happy you felt comfortable sharing that with us.

I am not exactly sure what to say, but thank you guys and thank you to everyone else for the support, it means a lot to me.

I would just like to take the time to say that upon initially joining this region, I never once thought I'd come as far as to where I am now, and it's all thanks to this community's welcoming and supportive attitude that I am here today, so I sure appreciate that. It should also be noted that I have yet to come out to my parents, since I have decided that I'm going to wait for an opportunity to present itself first to ensure the moment becomes something memorable in my life to both me and my parents. I don’t suspect they’ll be supportive, but I don’t think they’ll care much either. Until then, I’m proud to have shared my post with y’all.

@Michi: I understand that labels are not entirely accurate in accordance to some people, so I respect your viewpoint. But for me personally, they're a convenient way to briefly describe one's attraction without having to go into too much detail, similar to how we often refer to dogs by their breed instead of taking the time to describe them physically and so on. Regardless, if I find myself not sticking with a particular label, I'm more than happy to refer to myself as being attracted to so and so.

Guess who was wrong? It was me.

So! 
Bi or Pan? Yes!
Cis-female? No :-[

Still sorting out exactly what I am, but non-binary is what I’m saying for now. Any pronouns (she, he, they) are fine, but They/Them is your safest bet.

Howdy I've been intentionally vague about my gender cause I'm currently questioning if I prefer male or female so for now I'm simply Hapi. 29 years old. Call me whatever he/she/they/just Hapi.

I have a wife that much i know  :))
Heh.

So I'm a girl I am dating a boy and I do not have a wife. Weird. And my name is not Hapi anymore but that stuck as a nickname/is my middle name

Am I straight? I dunno probably not but over the course of this relationship I've kind of felt I probably would much rather date a man than a woman.

Usually people tell me I'm pansexual demiromantic or something... fuck if I know I just know I'm an international trans girl icon and this old post is all lies

This is kind of where I still am with myself, though I'm perfectly fine with he/him or any pronouns used (Minus it/its, that one just sounds odd to me personally to be identified as, but respect to those that it works for).

I've mentioned this in 2020 (though not in here), but I've grown more and more to detest labels (though yes I realize "non-binary" is technically a label, even if it's about tossing away gender labels since you don't fit in either box).  I don't entirely identify as "boy" but I don't exactly identify as "girl" either.  I like dressing in boy clothes, but I also love girl clothes beyond just a drag thing and love the idea of just wearing what I feel without the idea of gender labels attached to it.  The same goes for interests/activities and other areas of the spectrum, as well as just overall how I act/present myself.  I've always been pretty in the middle of the whole "masculinity" versus "femininity" spectrum, only a little more on the former because that's generally just how I feel people want me to act versus being equally both like I feel more comfortable being.

Romantic/attraction wise, I'm kinda where I've always been with the exception.  By traditional definition I'm gay mainly because I'm attracted to men, have only ever been deeply romantic with men, and probably continue being deeply romantic with them by default.  By actual definition, there's been the occasional woman or so that I've also been attracted to and have thought "I'd like to date them" (celebrity wise, Anne Hathaway was always the person on my list that I'd totally date that wasn't male), so I don't entirely feel comfortable being called gay since I'm not exclusively attracted to men only, they're just usually the folks that I tend to fall for.

And yes, as I'm sure some folks will ask if they read my previous posts, it's become a thing that's changed a bit since my 2017 post where I said I'd more than likely never fall in love with a woman.  In reality, I don't feel as comfortable taking that stance anymore since I've found more women to be really attractive and have considered what it'd be like to be romantically with them.  So yes, life has been funny that way.

Overall though, as I said I just hate labels.  For some, they're helpful identifiers that can make up how a person is with themselves and I completely respect that.  For me though, they're more of a suffocating aspect that you're boxing yourself into.  Identify as gay to others, but find attractions to women later on after you've already established that identity? That's a hard box to switch from because it was hard enough coming out as the former, but now you've got to come out as something else which even the supportive folks on the former may critique you heavily for (or accuse you of being an attention seeker).

So if I had to, I'd say this: I'm a person who feels equally both genders at times, more male at times, and more female at others.  I think all genders can be attractive, but I tend to have a much bigger lean towards men specifically...but there have definitely been women that I've been attracted to as well, even if the list for them has been much smaller.  If I had to absolutely throw myself a label, I'd say I'm much more getting into the vibe that I'm non-binary, and that I'm more Pan/Bi with just a largely bigger preference to males. 

But since I hate labels, I'll just say I am, and will always continue to be just Michi.

I see I never updated my own information here.

About two years ago, I came across the term demisexual and decided it was a better fit for me than pansexual. It's not that I think I've changed...I've always been much more sexually attracted to friends and people I have an emotional connection with, it's just that I didn't know the label existed until then. I still lean heavily toward men, but perhaps not as much as I did when I originally posted here (I'd say 70/30 now vs 80/20 then), and I'm also more interested in alternate genders as well as I've come to know more people who are transgender or non-binary and I've come to notice physical traits about them that I find attractive.

Otherwise, I still identify as male. It's just that I have a feminine voice, that's all. :P

Hello hello hello! Well, if we're sharing our identities, then here we go: I'm asexual and non-binary/genderfluid. I'm romantically attracted to guys. My pronouns are she/her and they/them. It makes me happy to know that Wintreath welcomes people from all across the board (as far as identities go). Nice to meet you all! ^^

Nice to meet you as well! Welcome to the LGBTQ+ portion of our community. ^-^

Out of curiosity, when did you decide that you were non-binary/genderfluid? Was there a journey of self-discovery that led you to that point like with some of our members, or is it just something you've always known?

Ah, good question! No, it's not something I've always known. It was more sudden. I figured it out about a year ago, but I questioned it a little before then. Specifically for the genderfluid part, I thought, "Sometimes I feel like a girl/woman (my assigned gender) and I enjoy it, but other times I feel very different." When I found out that I didn't have to be strictly a boy or a girl, it clicked. I realized that my gender changes/fluctuates, and there you have it!

@Sprinkles257: That's very much how I felt when I learned about demisexuality. I had identified as bi, then pan, but when I read about being demi, it just clicked. The way that you put it though sounds awesome, too...like you can enjoy whichever you feel like at any point in time. ^-^

@Thejoker😐: Welcome to the LGBTQ+ portion of our community! Would you like to share your journey on how you came to identify as pansexual and non-binary? lol, I know all about being single, being the forever alone type. :P

Hey! I was writing something up about you for the new Citizen article in The Frosty Bugle, and I realized that you specify they/them here, but he/him in your forum profile. I'm going to use they since you specifically point it out here, but just thought I'd poke you on that in case you want to change your profile. :)
