#oh yeah i'm pan because i'm attracted to trans and cis people like

[chadchadsonthesnail]

Hey! If you are queer and you don't think bi people, pan people, asexual people, or aromantic people are valid? Go fuck yourself! If you don't think Heterosexual Aromantic people and Heteroromantic Asexual people are members of the LGBTQIA+ community? Go fuck yourself! If you say "I wouldn't date a bisexual/biromantic person because they are attracted to/have dated [the opposite gender]."? Go fuck yourself! If I see any lesbian say that shit, I block them! Because guess what? There are also lesbians who have dated guys! I'm one of them! I did that before I realized I wasn't attracted to them! So go fuck yourself! If you say that trans people/people under the trans umbrella aren't valid? Go fuck yourself! If you think that alloromantic asexuals are not valid? Go fuck yourself! If you think that allosexual aromantic people aren't valid? Go fuck yourself! If you think someone isn't a valid lesbian because they think some men look pretty/are aesthetically attractive? Go fuck yourself! Same for the other way around with gay men finding a women pretty/aesthetically attractive! And anyone who says "oh you aren't bi/pan because you are in a relationship with a man/women, or because when asked you listed more men/women that you were attracted to than the other gender, so you are just gay/straight!" No! Go fuck yourself! If you say that being nonbinary, or having any gender identity other than trans man or trans woman doesn't make you a part of the community, and that the only valid gender identities outside of cis woman and cis man are trans woman or trans man? Go fuck yourself!

We are ALL facing hate, and we do not deserve to get hate from within! Because we are all valid!

If you hate on people like this, you are just as bad as homophobes and transphobes, because JUST LIKE THEM, you are hating on someone for their attraction, or for their gender identity!

It's fine if your attraction is mainly towards cisgender women or men because both the gender identity AND the physical body parts are part of your attraction. You didn't make that choice, you aren't excluding them out of hate. But if it's towards cisgender people solely to exclude trans people? Yeah, go fuck yourself. Because you don't control what factors into your attraction, so having something like that be part of your attraction is fine. If your attraction is towards both people who identify as female AND people who have a vulva, or vice versa, yeah, you do you, you didn't choose for the presence or lack of a primary or secondary sex characteristic, that's just a part of your attraction. But the MOMENT the intent is to exclude trans people, you are just being an asshole.

So yeah, if you think that any of the identities I mentioned aren't valid? Let me know so I can block you!

Everyone else, if you are part of any of these identities, as someone who falls under a few of these categories, (Asexual, Asexual Alloromantic, Falling under the nonbinary umbrella) I will always accept you. As long as you yourself are not being exclusionary. You are JUST as valid as anyone else!

TIL Tommy is queer? I have no idea how I missed that. Also, in the nicest way possible, how? /gen

Ps. Ik it's worded a bit weird idk I couldn't figure out how to fix it

Thank you!

Tommy is queer! Wow, I guess I haven't really specified it in Professional Victim I guess? But yeah I mean. Caius didn't force-bi him lol

In The Professionals he has a crush he fantasizes about but I haven't talked about his ex boyfriends in Pro Vic yet.

I assume you are asking what specific labels his sexuality falls into beyond the umbrella term of queer. I'm going to take this ask in good faith, and I'd like to explain a bit about being queer, especially since it's pride month. (This becomes a long personal tangent that then links back to my characters and their sexualities.)

There are many labels that people make for their sexual and romantic attractions. Some people like using these labels to share information about themselves, or find communities of people with similar experiences. Labels can be helpful that way. But attractions can be more complex than Gay and Straight, or Gay/Straight/Bi, or Gay/Straight/Bi/Ace, or Gay/Straight/Bi/Ace/Pan... etc etc. These terms can be helpful, but they can also feel limiting in what they convey. Some people will use combinations of labels to represent themselves, like being a Bi Lesbian or Demisexual Aromantic, etc etc.

Things can get even more complicated when you throw gender into the mix. Does being a gay nonbinary person mean you are only attracted to nonbinary people? Do transbians have a different experience coming to terms with their sexuality than cis lesbians? The thing is - that depends on who you ask, and it's none of anyone's business but their own!

Boxes and labels can be useful, and can even be validating! But there are also a lot of us who feel restricted by those boxes and those labels. MAYBE I could find - and form - a string of enough labels that they could form an approximate explanation of my gender and sexuality, but I doubt it, and I don't want to. I went through a lot of labels. I'm straight. I'm cis. I'm bi? I'm a lesbian? I'm genderfluid? I'm asexual. I'm pansexual. I'm trans. I'm GNC trans? I'm gay. I'm demisexual? I'm just...me.

Learning that there was an umbrella term felt like freedom, where before I felt like I was trying to pin myself in place like a bug. I'm queer! I'm happy that way! I'm also genderqueer and happy that way! The specifics of your sexuality - and gender! - doesn't have to be treated like some kind of diagnosis.

I don't know any specific terms that could possibly begin to explain my relationship with sexuality and gender... as a transgender man who came to understand his sexuality as a woman who likes women, as well as a woman who likes men, a woman who likes people of all genders and no genders at all...and then as a man who likes men, a man who likes people of all genders and no genders at all, who's now treated like a gay man yet also likes women but associates his love for women as being a woman who loves women but was expected to be a woman who loves men in a straight way...I can't explain it. But I don't owe an explanation to anyone. I am queer. Some people use queer interchangeably with other labels, or in conjunction with them, but I'm queer, period.

When I tell someone I'm queer, people often ask me what I REALLY am though. "Oh so actually you're bi." "Oh so you're gay." Wrong! I am QUEER. I understand that not everyone knows this, or means ill, but I think it's disrespectful to try to push someone for detailed information on their attractions or "correct" someone who says they are queer. I don't offer it for my characters either, because there is no need to.

Most of my characters are queer, including Tommy (and Caius!). Tommy likes men, and Tommy likes women. Does that mean he's bi? Trick question - he's queer! The specifics of his exact percentage of attraction to any gender - or lack thereof - doesn't matter.

TLDR; this comic.

Thank you for reading, I hope you are enjoying it, and happy pride month! Go forth and do queer things!

What are some Sexuality headcanons you have for danganronpa

Ohhhh I have so much to say you have no idea

I'll go with my DRV3 post-game headcanons because that's generally what I think about!

Shuichi: Disaster bi. I recently had the thought that he'd actually be awesome as nonbinary, but I feel like he's the type to realize that in his mid 30s or something

Kaito: Bigger disaster bi than Shuichi somehow. I like to think that, while he's iffy/confused about gay people, he accepts trans people without a thought (he's just like "oh you're actually a guy/girl! okay") and just demands that they "act like their gender" bahaha

Ryoma: I know this is a controversial thing to say but. Straight. cis/het. But he's like the biggest and nicest ally ever because well his entire friend group is very queer

Rantaro: I don't see this enough!!!! Aro/ace Rantaro!!! His love hotel is literally him being a tutor with no romantic or sexual undertones!!!! His character concept is probably "playboy with no interest in romance"!! But yeah aro/ace, romance and sex-repulsed

Gonta: Probably pan, but fairly heteronormative. I feel like he gets married in middle age because he's really not searching for a relationship for most of his life and more busy enjoying his hobbies!

Kokichi: Obviously very gay! I generally have him as a trans guy who, due to some shenanigans that happened in his childhood, thought he was a cis guy (until puberty hit and he had to figure out why he was freaking bleeding). Ironically, I like to call him "the cissest of cis guys" haha

Korekiyo: Ace! Not looking for a romantic relationship but I like to think he has a strong platonic partnership with Tenko

Keebo: Aro/ace, romance-positive and sex-neutral. He doesn't experience romantic or sexual attraction but is totally open to a romantic relationship. Intersex and he/him nonbinary, but he generally keeps it to himself and only tells people he trusts

Kirumi: Gay gay lesbian gay. She loves GL (Girl's love genre) but keeps it a secret

Himiko: Aromantic and bisexual! She tends more towards girls than guys

Maki: PSA Maki is gay and was straightwashed when they put her in Danganronpa 53. I mean, Tsumugi really said "I made you fall in love with a guy for plot!" I like to think Maki gets out of DRV3 and her first thought is "why was I straight" (for legal reasons this is a joke and bi Maki believers are based but. gay maki)

Tenko: Bi Tenko bi Tenko I KNOW people insist she's a lesbian (and you people are based) buuut I think even in Danganronpa Tenko is bi. People don't choose who they're attracted to, so her being raised to hate men doesn't mean she can't be attracted to them! Okay that's my ted talk about bi tenko

Tsumugi: Her orientation is none of your business (is what she will say, but I will expose her as the bisexual she is)

Angie: Pan! Kinda heteronormative but she learns not to be

Miu: Pan. I think she would meet someone on the internet that she clicks super well with and then they fly out to meet each other and get married

Kaede: Lesbian! So lesbian. I will insist forever that she isn't actually interested in Shuichi and is just super awkward around him because she doesn't want to lead him on when she's gay

That's it for V3! I don't have as many for the other games, mostly since I'm not as interested in or familiar with them (I like to joke that V3 has the gayest cast and everyone in DR2 is straight (obviously untrue, the irrefutable evidence: Nagito)), but here's a few I like:

Chiaki: Trans girl! She's also straight bahaha

Hiyoko: I used to think she'd be the type to act homophobic "as a joke" but then I realized she's super gay. She'd probably still act homophobic though

Nagito: Bi, for the sole reason of: I think he should date Chiaki

Akane: Seems ace!

Mahiru: I think she's straight, but she's a total lesbian magnet

Hajime: Bi (duh). Cursed to be maidenless

Chihiro: Nonbinary, he/they in conversation but always they/them in writing

Junko: This lady is very heterosexual and cisgender

Mukuro: Bi

Makoto: Bi

I also like to joke that all the girls in DR1 are straight and all the boys in DR1 are gay because everyone is in love with Makoto (obviously false because there are some very gay girls and not so gay dudes)

ya know, if somebody asked me if i’m: a lesbian, ace, aro, pan, trans

my response wouldn’t be to flip the fuck out like “UGH OH MY GOSH HOW COULD YOU EVER THINK THAT???” nah mate the proper response would just be a polite correction. heck, i’ll even say thank you. i don’t get people who are so mean and so insecure in themselves that they freak out about it

like the harshest i’d ever be is if somebody asked me if i’m straight. and even then i’ll just like LAUGH and, if online, respond with a confused reaction image

somebody confusing you for another orientation legit isn’t an insult, because those orientations or genders themselves aren’t an insult

[rayshippouuchiha]

I as a cis woman love when homophobic people, particularly homophobic women (cis and one time trans), find out I'm pan (but not that I'm ace) bc they get this repulsed look and scooch away like I might jump them. And then I have the following Convo:

Me: yeah everyone is pretty, plus I have triple the chance of finding someone who fits me.

Them, leaning further away: that's disgusting you whore.

Me: oh, don't worry! I won't go after you, I have standards and good taste after all.

Them unsure if the should be offended or confused by my words

Me: have a good day hater! *Peaces out*

oh the "Oh yeah I could be attracted to everyone out there except for you because you're a piece of shit" is always a fun thing to pull
