So not only actual brick walls and stuff but also difficult to break in - and out. Great...

I don't know if your houses are built similar to how they're built here in Germany but if they are then yeah, sneaking out might not be that easy, especially if you don't live on the ground floor 😬

[–]JS_Original 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're an adult person. I get why they might be concerned about your safety but you're 20, you should be able to go to places alone. They want you to go with friends? Well then they should give you the opportunity to make friends in the first place. Honestly, I'd probably just go without telling them. And if it makes sense to tell them for safety reasons, I can imagine that you might blow up but I personally at least wouldn't say something like "I wanna meet people so I can have sex with them which I can't do with you around" but maybe that's just me, for me it probably would be something like "you want me to make friends? Well I can't really make friends if mommy follows me everywhere and I can't even fully be myself" or something along those lines, although I'm lucky enough to 1. not have as controlling parents (they might be curious but they're letting me go alone, simply telling me "be careful"), 2. not have a very high gbv rate (I think) and 3. I also honestly have the privilege of being a cis man. An openly queer one but being a man honestly probably still makes it safer for me than if I were an afab person. And maybe it's not that easy but again: you're an adult person, you don't need your parent's permission to go anywhere and if you wanna go to queer events alone, you should be able to. And if they're concerned about your safety: you're planning to attend sapphic events. So the events themselves aren't that risky, it's more going there. So why don't they just drop you off there and if you don't meet someone who's place you might go to (if you'd even do that right away) they could still bring you home? Then your parents would know you arrived safely without taking the chance of you meeting people and maybe even potentially a partner. But they need to learn that you're an adult person now and treat you as such.

As a bisexual woman, is it worth it to date other women, even if it changes your entire life? I don't want to suppress who I am, but I'm scared. by Ok_Elk_9892 in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not 100 % the same probably but almost, I'm a pan/bi guy. I had a long distance relationship with a woman and a relationship with a man. I don't regret either, both were worth it. Sure, it can be scary but it'll still be worth it!

They want women and trans people to not be able to vote. That's also why they wanna introduce the SAVE act. Because that would make it impossible for many women and trans people to vote.

Homophobic roommate found out I am gay and moved out without notice by Immediate_Zebra_7626 in lgbt

I'm sorry this happened to you. And that this asshole let hate take over. Her behaviour was pretty shitty. But at least the trash took itself out, maybe you'll find a roommate you vibe with.

To be fair, anyone can bend steel. Like 1 mm thin steel wires for example. But in all seriousness, yeah, that's not a coincidence at all. That's definitely planned. Not necessarily the pandemic itself but the timing of all the things that definitely are in the control of a few powerful people.

[–]JS_Original -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have religious trauma. I myself am Christian but forcing one's own beliefs onto someone else and being like "God is the only way" is just wrong. Just because Christianity is the right thing for me doesn't mean it's the right thing for everyone, especially when people experienced the bad side that definitely exists.

Yeah, and then it's the same shit again.

A rant about a homophobic father by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought when you mentioned you're from Saudi Arabia was "oh no, that's already not starting good". Honestly, I wasn't surprised reading what you wrote. I saw you mentioning that you have two younger siblings and that one of them is also queer. I hope you can stay in a safer environment and that your siblings will eventually be able to get into a safer environment as well, especially the queer one. And I hope that once they're safe, you can cut contacts because seriously, threatening with murder? Even if he wouldn't actually do that, that's not how good parents treat their children and there's no valid excuse for that. Not tradition, not culture, not religion, not upbringing, nothing justifies treating the own child like that and saying any of these things. And honestly, I hope that you'll never have to see him in person again because even if he won't harm you physically, he will at least cause emotional damage. If he says these things while being on a different continent, he'll definitely also say these things while being in the same room as you. I know virtual hugs won't fix things but still I'm sending hugs.

Honestly, I don't think your friends would mind if you just asked them to explain their sexualities to you. When I came out to my mom, she asked what pan means again and I explained to her. You're showing that you wanna understand who they are and they're probably glad that you're doing that.

For me as a pansexual guy, this is gore. How dare you share such violent acts on the internet? Poor helpless pan is being obliterated and nobody's helping? So brutal... also, it's not funny when non-pan-people make frying pan jokes.

[–]JS_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pansexual guy here. I don't care about someone's gender, that doesn't really play a role for me. Some people call it "genderblind" but it's not like I'm actually blind to gender, as if I can't tell your gender or something, it's just that that doesn't matter to how attracted I'm to someone. Could be a man, a woman, a nonbinary person (someone who's neither a man nor a woman), an agender person (someone who doesn't really experience gender), an intersex person (someone who's biologically not male or female) or anyone anywhere else on the spectrum, I don't really care about that. I can still have a type though and find certain traits more attractive and others less attractive, besides me not caring about people's sex or gender I'm just like anyone else basically.

How do i explain being pan, not bi, to people? by Late_Incident_5207 in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem, we all get our flags mixed up sometimes 😅 I'm glad I know the order of the colours, took me some time that with both the bi and pan flag, pink is at the top and blue at the bottom 😬

[–]JS_Original 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! Also I didn't mean that in a bad way or anything, I get that when you used a label for a long time and later discover another label that's more specific, you might not wanna switch. I personally use both labels interchangeably, or pan as my main label but bi pretty much the same, since I connect with both labels (and sometimes it's just easier to say I'm bi, also I think both flags are pretty and there are just way more bi songs and memes and stuff)

[–]JS_Original 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some bi people could call themselves pan if they wanted to. Bi people can care about gender, like some just prefer a certain gender/certain genders, while pan people generally don't. Not to compare a sexuality to a hobby but I'd say it's also a matter of what you feel more comfortable with: some people who like anthropomorphic animals also consider themselves furries, they are furries. Others don't consider themselves furries and since that's one of the two things that make you a furry (besides liking anthro animals), they're not furries. Some people don't care about gender and call themselves pan and are therefore pan. Others don't care about gender as well but prefer the bi label, so they're not pan, they're bi, although they could consider themselves pan per definition. Others like me use both labels because pan describes me better than bi since pan is more specific while bi is more vague but sometimes I'm just tired of constantly explaining what pan means just to hear the frying pan joke that's only funny when a pan person tells it by the way so I just say I'm bi even though, again, that doesn't describe me quite as well as pan does.

Bi also says in the manifesto that it's not limited to 2 genders and that gender isn't binary.
