Had to block someone so I want to be clear about something: if you don't think asexual and aromantic people are lgbt+, or if you think that they can't identify as queer, you're not welcome on this fucking blog

I'd like to also state that when I was a teenager, I was aphobic, but then I realized that I was trying to gatekeep a community based around genders, sexual orientations, and romantic orientations that deviate from the dominant culture

And the people I was trying to keep out? their identities deviate from the dominant culture as well.

In conclusion, fuck off with your aphobia

My Friend: Stop pointing out every gay character in this game!

Me, Watching him play FNV: There are like four of them and you went out of your way to talk to all of them! It's not my fault you attract queer people!

[teamgeiszler-gottlieb]

So much of my life is spent silently begging for things I will never receive or be able to voice. As an aromantic, I dream of non-romantic affection, which dwindles with every friend who gets married. I crave a QPR but know that I am too socially inept to ever find one. As someone who is nonbinary, I use pins and t-shirt slogans and posters to ask "please call me by they/them" but will never be able to outright ask my parents to stop saying "she" or calling me their pretty girl. I can never get my friends to respect it 100% of the time.

I am nothing but a silent, screaming, hungry mouth. All the time. Asking for things I can't have. It's so exhausting.

[au-wannabe-the-very-best]

Sorry if this question seems dumb or has been asked before, but... Since you wrote Ingo rejects all dates, do you hc him as aromantic/aro-ace? Or just very work orientated?

I hc him as just not being interested in dating in general regardless of what his sexual/romantic orientation is. I don’t really have a concrete label for him in my head, he just... is. You know?

Maybe he’s 40 and still questioning but not really because he doesn’t care enough to really think too hard about it. He just sorta shrugs and is like ‘whatever, I’m queer. That’s good enough for me.’ And then he continues to reject everyone because he’s just not interested in getting to know new people. He’s got his depot agents, he’s got his brother, he’s got Elesa and all his friends. He’s good.

Anyways Jesus loves fags and queers

[cryptids]

I just want to complain for a sec about how it's such an alienating feeling sometimes seeing people on here talk about queer history/lgbt history and only mean specifically things that happened in America, or American organisations etc. that they assume are universal knowledge that all other lgbt people in the world must be familiar with lmao

At this point, what I take from the Q movement is that their whole thing is, one way or another, all about (reacting to) Christianity, actually. Whatever sex act would "outrage" Grandma is Q and cool, but whatever relationship Qrs may have with their own bodies it is, more or less, the same disdainful relationship Middle Ages Christians had with their own.

[brucewayneargento-moved]

Friendly reminder that it's physically impossible for an actual human irl person to "queerbait", if you ask a celebrity if the are LGBT+ in an Instagram comment and they tell respond with ❤ emoji or any non-answer, they aren't baiting you. THEY are just politely telling you it's non of your bussiness cause IT'S NOT

I'm literally just writing this at the request of a friend who wanted to learn more about my relationship with gender, so here goes

I had a rocky relationship with gender like.. ages ago. I was one of those people who at a very early age exhibited like heavily feminine qualities. I liked pink, I liked dresses, I liked princesses. And as an AFAB person this looked nothing out of the ordinary for like... a couple of third world country parents raising their "perfect A, gold star girl". But of course, there reached that stage, where there was no way in absolute hell you could allow someone, anyone, to be feminine at all. And of course, since society thinks that a single ounce of body fat immediately means that you... can't exist or something.

I'd started to get bullied for daring to believe I could look cute while being hyper feminine, bit by bit I began to resent femininity, and then... I was "not like other girls". If I wasn't allowed to be feminine, I wasn't going to even try at all. I was terrible, terrible to other girls. Maybe not the bully, but being an outcast doesn't immediately make you the victim. Yes, I was quiet about my resentment, but it was still there and very present for me.

Before I'd realized, my mom (bless her) took notice of this and just... asked me what was wrong. A little something called "learned helplessness" taught me that it's never ok to tell someone what id wrong with you, at all. So I never said anything. But at the very least I knew one thing: I hated being a "girl". I hated it because I felt like I was not allowed to do anything I wished. I hated it, because the word was always associated with being "lame", "weak", "lesser than others", and of course "ugly". Of course, these are very stupid, and not at all valid ways to reason being non-binary. So little me had a long journey before them to learn that these were not the reason they weren't a girl at all. And it all started with... internet.

The internet was my safe haven, needless to say. I didn't have to share my image with everyone to see, and ruin my reputation with how dreadfully ugly I was (again, child brain.) I had heard of Tumblr like a few years ago, I was told that it wasn't a safe place because all of the terrible people with bad takes went there. But I wanted to find that out for myself. Turns out, I didn't just stumble upon the bad people with the bad takes, I'd just met... people. Sure, more than half of them were misinformed children just like me, but they all taught me a valuable lesson that I hadn't thought of: breaking out the of gender binary.

Being trans was... beyond me. I had no idea that that was even a possibility at all, and when I'd learned that was a thing, I was impressed! You can just... change your gender? To the one that you actually are? That was amazing! ...But there was nooo way that could apply to me! I was a girl! Sure, not the prettiest girl, but still a girl!

Buddy, the signs were there. But alas, they needed a while to figure it out.

I had excitedly told about it to my rl best friend. She was just as amazed as I was. Another friend who at the time I was entirely aware that they were a lesbian, chimed in that they were aware of it and that it was a very cool thing. I was... very lucky that I was surrounded by people who could understand and be amazed with me. I could not even imagine if that were the case.

Anyway, I was made aware of what being transgender was at a relatively younger age, but the concept of being non-binary eluded me, even as I grew into being a teenager. What do you mean you're not a man or a woman? Didn't they just tell you what you were supposed to be when you were younger? How do you manage to just... ignore what people tell you what you're supposed to be? Something in me told me that I resonated with the concept, that there was a chance I was not a girl at all.

But with the life that surrounded me outside of my friendships, outside of my internet circle... I was still the "little girl of the family", the "only daughter", "the little miracle". I was always told what I was supposed to be by my family. That I was supposed to become an expert in English, get an amazing job as either a doctor or a lawyer, marry a good man and have at least 2 kids. My life had been planned out by my family ages ago.But that was not me.

By a certain period of time, I knew I was part of the m-spec, with the label of "bisexual" feeling like the most fitting for me personally. I knew I did not want children. Teen me says it's because they hate kids, present day me says that it's because they do not have what it takes to be a parent. Any children I could have deserve better than what I could give them. But that's besides the point. I knew I was queer, yet something always stopped me from believing I could be anything other than a girl. Maybe it's that feeling of "I could disappoint someone", "What's that going to change for my image?", "Who in real life could be attracted to someone like me even if I wasn't a girl?" (I apologize for the last one, I've been a hopeless romantic my entire life)

But time passes, and people change. Including the adults around me. I saw that my mom (bless her), had been watching and interacting with media aplenty that included transgender people in them. A Brazillian soap opera in particular had caught my attention. There was a trans man in that series, and as painfully typical and angsty as you would expect for a story like that to be in a soap opera, my mom was moved by it. I can't remember if the portrayal was misinformed, or outdated, but at the time it was what I needed. For once, I saw a family member understand and sympathize with a transgender person. For once, the possibility of me not being a girl at all didn't seem so out of the ordinary. There was just one thing I needed to get over.

I still continued to be more masculine, and I had considered the idea that I could be a trans man myself. And despite the fact that being referred to with masculine pronouns felt correct (thank you mom for confusing me and my brother from time to time), being referred to as a "man" didn't really fit... Not to mention, I felt like a part of me was missing. Something I hadn't quite tried and enjoyed, almost years ago.

I hadn't completely quit being feminine, because to my family I was still a girl. And a girl will be given girly clothes by other family members. Fortunately, as time passed and as I kept on learning about gender and to be more sympathetic to women AND TO MYSELF, I started to accept my femininity again. I wanted to learn how to do my makeup since it looked like fun, I loved painting my nails, and there were some dresses I felt comfortable and cute in.

At some point, I had this internal battle. Should I be feminine or masculine? Was I a man or a woman? I could not figure it out for the life of me. I identified as bigender for a while, but I didn't feel like it fit for me. I also tried identifying as a demigirl for another while, and while it made me massively happy to identify as such for a good amount of time, I came to the slow but sure realization that I was something else entirely.

I was non-binary.

It didn't come to me as a shock, or a revelation. But more along the lines of "finally figuring out all the pieces of the puzzle, and all of them falling into place perfectly". For once in my life, I was at peace with myself. Sure, the chances of most rl circles in my country not at all understanding what the hell non-binary could possibly mean was gonna be hurtful, painful even. It was gonna sting, and as a matter of fact, things were going to get even harder from this point forward.

But I am not in this for the simplicity of things. I don't want to simplify things for others' comfort. I am making it my life's mission to help educate others, but also to educate myself even more. I am literally only 20 years old as I am writing this. Hell, it may suddenly turn out that I could be a binary trans man, I could be bigender, there is still so much I have to learn about myself. It's not a journey with a certain destination. But I am more than willing to keep on going in this journey if it means I'll be satisfied with myself.

Non-binary feels right to me right now. If that is not the case anymore at some point, we'll get to that whenever. And if not, then I'll learn about something else about myself, something I had not thought about, and settle my feelings on the matter.

This story does not have a real ending, it's a never-ending journey. And I'm willing to go at it for as long as I can, if it means that I'll be happy with myself, with my friends, and my loved ones. That's what I've set out to do ever since I entered this world.

[glitchyred]

so transbian glitchy isn’t canon? It’s almost like it’s made to be by a good portion of the fandom and I didn’t want to seem disrespectful by not accepting that hc.

Nope! At the very least, it isn't canon to the original to my knowledge (the original was written by an anonymous 4chan user in, like, 2010, so. LMFAO) and it wasn't my intention with Retold, which isn't an official rewrite anyway so it doesn't matter but since this ask came right after I asked for questions abt Retold I'm unsure what version you're asking about haha

The transfem headcanon is fairly recent to my knowledge. Non-binary interps of Glitchy have been around for a pretty long time, though, and I'm sure the Vibes that resulted in that being such a popular way to view him were what led to the newer interp gaining traction. But non-binary Glitchy isn't canon either, as far as I'm aware - just a popular queer reading. You can interpret Glitchy however you like.

Transmasc Person: "I am a straight guy, since I am a guy who loves women."

Toxic Queer People™: "Ew, straight guys are all predators, since only non-queer people are straight! Anyways, discrimination against straight men isn't real, even when they're a minority."

Transmasc Person: "Okay, I am a lesbian, since even if I'm not a woman, I still have a connection to womanhood."

Toxic Queer People™: "Lesbian is woman-only! If you are in any way a man or not a woman, you are not a lesbian! Transmascs can never be lesbians or have a connection to womanhood/a lack of manhood! Stop invading the lesbian community!"

I dare you to make it make sense.
