Link to the interview mentioned in the post. It's an Instagram reel.

Im mostly still not out as trans (mtf) irl because i still live with my conservative family, if i get accepted into the financial aid ill ask for tomorrow ill finally be able to live on my own and independently from my family ‼️
Im so nervous please pray for me 😭

🏳️‍🌈 Happy bi pride month! Biphobia is alive and well. Someone today criticized me for being bi and claimed that I should be pan as it doesn’t cater to the binary…. Trans men are men, trans women are women, and to say bisexuality definitionally excludes them is to deny those facts. You can be bi and be attracted to trans people. You can be nonbinary and be bi.

What should I do? Should I try to change their mind or just give up?

One thing for sure is that I definitely don't wanna come out to the rest of my family anymore...

Hey! This is a charm on my bag I made a while back (I identified as pan at the time) and I really like the way it looks (my desk light is NOT doing it justice). A year down the line and I now identify as a lesbian. Is it ok to still have this on my bag or is it offensive? I'd never want to offend anyone so I thought to double check.

Thanks!

A banter from a friend gave rise to this. I elect Kirby as the icon for Genderfluid/Genderqueer folk!

I added the chains & the bat wings! I painted the bat wings myself with only the cuntiest of nail polish! ✨💅 My subculture is Glitterpunk & these are Glitterpunk style boots. I wanted to clarify that because there are influences from other subcultures, such as scene, that this could be mistaken for.

I have a memory of seeing this kind of flag somewhere (maybe 2024ish) and I kind of assumed that this was the pride flag. After coming out and learning more about the lgbt community, I found out that the progress flag was the ACTUAL pride flag. But I still have this flag ingrained into my memory. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Please note that this is actual memory and not just misremembering. Any explanation would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm reading my psych textbook (such an adventurous life I'm leading, it's very late😅) and I came across a thing about problematic terms used in psychology.

Such as, according to this text, "heterosexual," "homosexual," and "straight,"

As a queer person, I don't see these as problematic. In fact, heterosexual and homosexual are the most scientific, imo. (Hetero meaning two different, such as a heterogeneous mixture, where you can see two different parts. And homo meaning two of the same, like a homogeneous mixture).

So I bring the question to you, LGBT subreddit. Do other queer people of today believe these terms are problematic?

Is it just me that thinks this textbook is being silly?

Okay, context. I'm a trans mac non-binary person(and likely Asexual now?) and I'm a Hellenistic pagan. Ive already told my boyfriend.

so my boyfriend and I had our first date last night. And we were sitting outdoors and eating ice cream, he then asks if I feel straighter and if I feel cis and if I feel Christian. he keeps calling me his wife. I agreed since I didn't really know what to do but I'm not straight, I'm pansexual, and I'm not a girl, never have been and I won't become one after a date.

For the past few days he's been making jokes(idk if they are) that he's gonna convert me to Christianity and that he's making me straight and cis and that I'm making him straight???(He's bisexual and probably poly, he has a boyfriend) And I don't know why but even being close and smelling him makes me so ill and I just wanna vomit when I smell him. I really don't know why, it just feels weird and gross. He's tried to convince me to go to his family's church. I'm really confused about what to do. I love him, and I swore on the River of Styx that I wouldn't leave him. Also

He's been talking a lot about Christianity and why it's good, I have talked to him about paganism(he doesn't believe I'm a hellenist) and he's been saying and asking if I want to go to church with him Sunday. Luckily my mum is saying I don't need to go and that I don't need to hang out with him for our school's 4 day weekend. Today, in art I was working on an assignment where we had to draw 50 different things on a page, so I dedicated mine to the Greek Gods and Goddesses. I was drawing mini statues of Apollon/Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Zeus, Helios, Nyx, Iris, Hekate, Athena and s few more. While I was looking for photos of Apollon, I found many that were broken(and for those who know, any ancient statues were broken by early Christians, the noses broken because they believed the statue and the God/Goddess it was for would die. They also would carve Christian crosses into their heads. I showed my bf one of Apollon and he actually said "If I was there, I'd do it too." Then quickly said that he was joking.... He already knows I can't understand if something is a joke or not. Then I showed him the one of Aphrodite with a cross on her head and her nose broken off. He said a similar thing to what he said earlier. This actually pissed me off because these are MY Gods/Goddesses. I have never made fun of his god, but he thinks it's okay to do it to mine??????? I really don't know what to do.. (UPDATE) I TOLD HIM WHAT HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME AND IM JUST GONNA IGNORE HIS TEXTS SO HE CAN JUST THINK OF WHAT HES DONE AND IM MOSTLY LIKELY ASEXUAL, IDK WHY BUT JUST BEING CLOSE ENOUGH TO SMELL JUST MAKES ME WANNA VOMIT. HIS SMELL ALSO SCARED MY KITTIES SO I HAD TO COVER MY ROOM IN PERFUME JUST TO CALM MY OLDEST. I CANT REALLY AVOID HIM, I SHARE ALL BUT 2 CLASSES WITH HIM AND HES ALSO BEEN CHANGING WHERE HE WALKS SO HE CAN WALK PAST ME TO CHAT WITH ME. I LITERALLY DIDNT FEEL SICK UNTIL I GOT TO MY FIRST PERIOD AND IT LUCKILY WENT AWAY BY MY LAST PERIOD THEN IT CAME BACK BY THE TIME I GOT OUT OF SCHOOL AND WE HEADED TO OUR BUS STOP
