AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I don't think I ever came out as bi here, did I? I've not really done it anywhere, to be honest. Everyone I knew thought I was straight and then one day BAM, suddenly I have a girlfriend. Well, as far as online is concerned, at least. Right now the only people I know IRL who know about her are my brother, my dad and my stepmum. I haven't told my mum and stepdad not because I'm in a same sex relationship, but because I'm in a long distance relationship... again. They were iffy enough as it was about my first boyfriend who lived 2 hours away, how would they feel about me being with someone in a completely different country??? It's kind of funny though because I've pretty much completely destroyed younger me's efforts to try and convince myself I wasn't into girls, HUEHUEHEUHE

No but seriously I've most definitely had an attraction to ladies for a very long time, and there was never anyone in my life outright telling me that liking someone of the same sex was wrong, but I'd always see it presented and treated as this alternate """weird""" thing so like... the idea of finding girls attractive made me feel uncomfortable? It took a long time for me to grow to accept it and now it just feels like the most normal thing in the world.

Though honestly, I'm still a little confused about my sexuality. I still find men attractive, but I dunno if I could date a guy again. Being with a girl who's had to put up with the same bullshit gender-related expectations is just so liberating, like we can talk about bodaciously anything and it's not gross or weird. Periods? Our body hair? The humongous fart I just did? Nothing to be ashamed of. I'm not saying every guy out there is repulsed by that sort of thing (and I know that even a lot of girls are), but I sorta feel it'd be difficult to find a guy I'd be as totally 100% comfortable and not self-concious around as I am with her.

Also it's funny because I was the one who got a girlfriend and my brother was the one who got a boyfriend, lol

Hey Chloe, you might have different romantic preferences than sexual ones. Some people are attracted physically to one or both genders, but not emotionally to both. Some people are even aromantic and dont fall in love with anyone at all.

I'm Dedivax and I only recently came to the conclusion that I'm not straight. Well, not really that recently: I began questioning my sexual orientation in 10th grade, it's just that I needed to better understand the way I approach interpersonal relationships, as well as some very weird philosophical stuff, before I could figure it out enough to call myself "queer": partly because I finally admitted to myself that I don't really dislike sausage, partly because I finally came to the conclusion that gender norms are both rubbish and unhealthy.

<3 I am not alone.
Haha, cultural differences? I had the exact opposite experience here in the US (where millions of people rally to oppose equal rights. 'MURICCCAAAAAAAAA )
Always presented as being wrong by EVERYONE EVERYWHERE up until what just feels like a few years ago. It's like someone flipped a switch and BAM suddenly relations with the same gender became generally accepted as an okay thing.Yup! Lots of self-loathing and panic attacks to make accepting you for being you that much easier.

That's because you live in JESUS LOVES YOU GOD BLESS AMERICA land :V



Sadly I don't actually do humongous farts, mine are always pathetic little poots :'[

Personally I have no idea what I am. I don't think I've felt genuinely attracted to anyone in any way. Especially not sexually. I may form baby crushes where I get attached but don't actually fall in love. I think the relationship part might be nice, but when I think about actually being asked out I don't think I could accept? It just seems super weird to me.

My experience is similar but sort of opposite. I definitely get attracted to others but I'm not really suitable as a partner so it doesn't happen.

In other news though I am going to see a surgeon about my mastectomy sometime soon! If I get top surgery this year I will be so pop flyin'! Imagining I can swim next summer without having to wear a swimming binder.

About time we got a FTM transgender person in here. It was becoming.....uhh....I dunno, a reverse sausage fest?

clambake

THIS! I love this sooo much lol! You are a treasure.

No like, this was a clambake that was inadvertently turned into a sausagefest at the last minute, resulting in sausages made out of clam meat.

I've lost track of my analogy

I blame myself. I have effect on social environments!

Are there any other ftms in the forum?

By the way, would being polyamorous fit in under this thread...? Because I'm polyamorous.

People of this thread, I find myself in need of help. Basically, I only just now discovered that this Saturday my city will be visited by the "Standing Sentinels", a homophobic hate group who took up that name because they "defend" "traditional family" by standing up and silently reading to "peacefully" "express their MY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO SAY WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT AND DISREGARD ALL CONSEQUENCES TO WHAT I SAY", so of course I'm hellbent on protesting against them, but I need to come up with something clever in order to get them down from their faux intellectual and moral high ground.

I've already thought of some stuff (like "joining" their silent reading with a gay porn mag) but I want my protest to be as effective as possible, and that's why I'm asking here for ideas.
