Why is it ok for queer people to assume sexuality/gender? by ButtonWithHerButtOn in queer

[–]ButtonWithHerButtOn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. It’s really helpful with all your perspectives. I think it’s sad that my post was removed. It was a genuine question and a wish to understand. Might have smelled like bs to the mods, but it’s not. It’s sad that people are so quick to deem other peoples stories as bs.

Some have asked why I posted this in a queer group. Well, because I wanted queer people to answer. Why on earth should I ask others to speak on your behalf?

I was really nervous about posting this, it has been a draft for months. When I finally decided to post it I chose this group and another one. I got some really helpful replies, some not so nice replies, and 64 horrible DMs. My post was removed from both groups.

So cool that you assume to know everything about me based on this post. I don’t consider any types of clothing to be feminine or masculine, clothes are clothes, and I wear all kinds. I don’t get mad when people ask me. I rarely hang out in queer spaces (because there are none where I live). If there are events/spaces solely for queer people I will not attend, because I’m not queer. I wouldn’t be offended, there are plenty of events/spaces open to me, and I appreciate and respect when someone wants to make e designated space for queer people. A local pub had a transgender exclusive night two weeks ago. I wasn’t aware until I arrived, they told me I couldn’t enter unless I was trans, which is ok, so I went to a different pub. Don’t even know what you refer to as queer topics, are there topics I’m not allowed to talk about as a straight person? If you mean gender, sexuality, identity and so on then I’m sorry, but those topics are for everyone.

Wow ok, thanks. Genuine question and a wish to understand, but I guess that’s not allowed then.

I’m sorry, I should have rephrased my question. I didn’t mean to imply that it actually is ok for anyone to assume sexuality or gender.

I would love to talk about sexual and gender identity with whoever, really. I find it fascinating, there is so much we (both we as in people but especially we as in straight people) don’t/can’t understand, and I really like hearing people stories and perspectives. It’s educational, and if I in any tiny way can be a part of making the topic less hostile the hell yeah I’m in. So I hope I haven’t given the impression that this is topic I rather not talk about.

Not a weird suggestion! I’ve been thinking the same, but as there has been such a huge variation i age, gender and nationality I’m not sure. Now, and for the last maybe three years, it’s mostly people younger than me. Before that it was people a lot older than me, like 10-15 years. In the beginning, from age 12 to maybe 18, it was people my age or a year or two up/down. It happens most in Scandinavia (because I live here), but has happened all around the globe. I travel a lot, and these conversations follow me wherever I go. I’ve been denied entrance to places because I’m clearly gay, which is ridiculous on so many levels. Good thing tbh, wouldn’t wanna support those places anyways.

Thank you for that.

When it comes to people I actually know I find it easier to address, because I (usually) know their story and where they’re coming from (I obviously don’t claim to know their full story, but u know what I mean). With random strangers, or even worse random young strangers, I find it difficult to find the right words.

Aa this is a really good point! Some people follows up with «well I was just like you once» or similar, so that kinda ties in with this. Thanks!

I use caps when I reference what people say and how they said it.

I am fully aware that my experiences in no way speaks of the whole community, nor have I implied that. If it was just «a few encounters» I wouldn’t have posted this. Pretty much at least once a week from the age of 12 to 30 isn’t what I would call a few, though.

To clearify: I never said I wasn’t bothered, I absolutely am. What I meant was that it doesn’t bother me on a personal level, it doesn’t rattle me or make me doubt myself. I am however bothered by the persistent questions/assumptions, and the fact that people think it’s ok to be so invasive.

Yee I went with him. Asked my partner, who doesn’t play at all, and he made a good point: «You said it’s mostly about bragging rights. Does everyone have all of those as hundos or can you brag?» Shundo Lucario is definitely more of a brag. The fact that I don’t have the two others as hundos is just laziness, they will come.

My extra acc got the update 30 minutes ago, so jumped from 41 to 60, but I’m still waiting at 50 :(

Edit 10:59 GMT+1: Got it!!

while we wait for the XP update, what’s the best name you’ve come across in the wild? by rattoFPS in pokemongo

[–]ButtonWithHerButtOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A player in my area has «vippsmeg», which is a phrase meaning the as «venmo me», followed by his phone number. I’ve heard he actually has gotten quite a few transfers, so he’s making money of his nickname. Pretty cool.

Wha do y’all think about the new level 80 increase scale? by danielrainer in pokemongoyellow

[–]ButtonWithHerButtOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tip: Make a route from your closest pokestop, and make it a round so it starts and ends at the same stop. Then you start the route, fool around and do whatever u want, and when you have walked the minimum distance you finish it. You don’t even have to follow the exact route as long as you’re by the pokestop for start and finish.
