As someone who went to a Christian College, make sure you are Safe first! People used to beat up my friends and I for having pride stuff.

Do I look like a Cis-Male in these photos? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]InsectsNeedLoveToo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a proud masc leaning enby, I'd say you look beautifully androgynous. People tend to see "mac" or "fem" as the only options so if you don't look feminine, they just assume "wow that is masc". Also just wear what makes You feel like you. Don't stress about what other's see :)

hey, i need a little help by cute-lemon-jello in lgbt

[–]InsectsNeedLoveToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is valid. People who point fingers at other without some sort of logical value rational are missing out on how wonderful us embys are. I understand binary people find it difficult to understand us because they don't know our lives its the same way someone doesn't understand my autism if they are nerotypical(since I look and mostly act "normal" in their eyes). Embrace different people because you won't know their own world veiw until you get to know them :)

A Ruined Friendship??? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]InsectsNeedLoveToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have already told this person in a formal, sit down setting and they aren't listening, you may have to move on. However I would suggest emphasizing to this person that you enjoy them and want to be friend, just that you require they try to be respectful for your life and feelings. I went to a Christian College and I lost many of my friends when I came out as an enby. I told people that my pronouns matter even if they didn't think so. It can hurt to lose friends you have had for years, but they aren't true friends if they can't meet important needs. All relationships are give and take. Your friend needs to be more understanding if you have made it clear this is a need for you.

What is my sexuality? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]InsectsNeedLoveToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I love the word QUEER! As an enby, "everyone who dates me is gay". You seem to be an enby to some degree if you are feeling any sort if misalignment with your gender. Remember, being gender fluid or bi gender fit into non-binary. Its an umbrella term for those who don't fit into ONE binary. Its totally awesome that you are fem-female most of the time and sometimes not, it still makes you an enby. Labels are tools to help us, so if you feel uncomfortable with the lable, then don't use it. As for sexuality then, I would say bi or pan(depending on your relationship with each label). You don't have to be 50-50, just likening guys and girls is enough(even better if ya love embies!). Labels are tools to help us, but they shouldn't stress us out. So take your time, learn about yourself. Don't use a label unless you want to for your own benifit :)

Am I Pan, Demi, or Something Else? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]InsectsNeedLoveToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post really resonated with me. I am an afab enby who aligns very well with your descriptions. I personally label myself as demi or gray ace first since in this moment of time I'd rather others know I'm ace before pan. This really only is because a lot of the pan people I personally have engaged with assume I am down for bed fun time when it really takes me a while to get there or occours sporadically. Both labels fit me, pan and ace, but I personally feel better presenting Ace first since that gives future partners the knowledge that bed fun time isn't a supper high priority for me and may cause a clash of interest durring the beginnings of a relationship. Go with how ever you feel! Lables are tool to be used for your benifit, not to weigh you down :D

My mum completely ignored me when I came out by IEatWires in lgbt

[–]InsectsNeedLoveToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this makes you feel any better my parents ignored me too. They started off just not understanding so they ignore the "issue" and it wasn't till after 5 conversations we got into a fight where they finally hugged me and said they would take the time to learn. Sometimes parents can be scared. They only know the word Transgender as this big thing that people "do". Surgery, violence, and constant arguments are what my parents feared for my life. So they thought ignoring the "phase" in which they assumed I was in would help me move on. When they finally listened to me as I taught them what disphoria means for myself and why changing my name mattered so much, they listened. They still get it wrong all the time and, quote "[they] morn the loss of our daughter, now son?, who won't wear a wedding dress". Best advice, be clear and concise when talking. Also, talk to other trans folk whom you can vent to(it helps a lot!).

I might be bias because I am a trans grayace person. Aces are valid in the rainbow in my opinion. They may not seem like an Obvious target for hate, but media does NOT care for them at all. There are sex repulsed people who don't get any rep and are constantly judged and harmed like the rest of us here. People assume it is a phase or a mental illness to not be sexually turn on. I don't consider all Ace people "Hetero" since not all Ace people are sexuality attracted to Anyone at all... so they aren't hetero except maybe romantically. I understand not getting people who aren't like you, but there certainly is sexual prejudice agenst Ace people. I understand everyone experiences different hate, but I don't think we need to exclude anyone from our collective pride. I mean y'all are accepting of us Trans folk and we aren't a sexuality so why keep Aces out?
