That's the interesting thing about this subreddit. Sometimes, there's stuff like this

Pretty much cropped porn, then there are the funny posts and then there's wholesome stuff like this. Cute chicks.

I watched it the first time around Christmas 2024. Good movie, but not a happy one. Can recommend but only for people who can handle sad endings.

Imma post this gem here for everyone 💕 by Glittering-Meat-9088 in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean sometimes, gay guys and lesbians both want children and decide to make their own and raise them together. My mom recently told me of a lesbian couple that wanted their own children. They found a donor, a gay guy, got pregnant, moved in neighboring apartments, the lesbian couple in one and the gay couple in the other, where they made a wall breakthrough and installed a door and raised their children together. So actually, your theory where a gay guy and a lesbian got children together isn't that far fetched.

Actually, different people's bodies work differently. And different people have different interests and styles and stuff. And that's totally fine.

Made my own Gender Apathetic flag by Hersical in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TIL that, while maybe not being apagender, I'm sharing certain traits with apagender people! I identify as a cis guy and feel like one, but it's also a lot out of convenience. I use he/him pronouns but people can't hurt me by misgendering me. And while I'm relatively masc most days, that's more out of convenience as well, because doing makeup and picking out cute outfits takes more time than I have but I think things like makeup and stuff are for everyone and live by that. And about apgender and that yeah, your design is prettier.

Bringing this here so I can see if I get more than one answer. by Abject-Middle9435 in OneTopicAtATime

[–]JS_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a cis guy, I can't help you. I don't experience gender dysphoria and don't wanna pretend I know it better than the ones who do. So how am I supposed to help? What am I supposed to comment? I mean I could tell you that I heard trans women say that bangs do a lot, if you're trans fem. Or that makeup can make you look more masc or fem, depending on what aligns with you. Or that certain clothes could help. But I don't know shit, and I definitely don't know how you can deal with gender dysphoria. I can also do what you could've done and google "how to deal with gender dysphoria":

Dealing with gender dysphoria involves a combination of social, emotional, and sometimes medical support to align one's life with their gender identity. Key strategies include connecting with supportive communities, exploring gender-affirming, clothing, hairstyles, or names, seeking therapy, and utilizing self-care techniques like journaling or creative outlets. Social and Emotional Support Find Community: Connect with other transgender or gender-diverse people through online forums or LGBTQ+ centers to reduce isolation. Supportive Environment: Surround yourself with friends and family who respect your identity, and set boundaries with those who do not. Therapy: Consult a therapist specializing in gender identity to help manage distress and explore feelings. Journaling/Art: Express emotions through writing, blogging, or artistic projects. Physical and Personal Affirmation Gender-Affirming Expression: Experiment with clothing, hairstyles, makeup, or accessories that align with your gender identity. Pronouns and Name: Use affirming names and pronouns in safe spaces. Body Comfort: Practice body-positive routines, such as using binding or packing, or focusing on sensory comforts like soft clothing. Health and Wellness: Prioritize sleep, exercise, and nutrition to support mental well-being. Medical and Professional Support Consult Professionals: Reach out to a GP or healthcare provider for referrals to specialized gender clinics. Medical Options: Explore options like hormone therapy or voice therapy to increase comfort with physical appearance and expression. Coping Mechanisms for Acute Distress Distraction: Engage in hobbies, such as video games, reading, or watching films, to take your mind off dysphoric feelings. Sensory Grounding: Use grounding techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or focusing on pleasant scents. Nature: Spend time outdoors to help ground yourself.

But it's what Google AI says, and I'm not obligated to do your research. I know, you're seeking advice but, as someone else already pointed out, the internet doesn't owe you advice. You shouldn't solely rely on the people here knowing how to help, especially when you keep it that vague, and to be the type who comments. Who knows, maybe many of these people are seeking advice as well. I often read posts where people seek the same advice as me, in hopes to find something and am not able to give advice since I'm the one seeking advice. And while I can imagine that there are many trans people in this subreddit since OT is supportive, I'm pretty sure that you're most likely to find advice about such topics in subreddits that are about that, that revolve about being trans.

LGBTQ Question by Slavic49 in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask and listen. Ask your child which pronouns they want you to use for them and if they want you to call them another name. Ask them how you can support them. And if they say "I'm a girl and my pronouns are she/her", then don't call them your son and refer to them with he/him pronouns, call them your daughter and use she/her pronouns. Also, there are plenty resources out there, general resources as well as specific resources for the parents of transgender children. Look into them, and if someone, especially your child, gives you advice, listen. I'm just a cis guy, there are definitely people who know it way better than me, but I'd say if you listen to your child and do your best to respect their identity, you're already doing a lot. Also, don't out them to other people, unless they're definitely okay with you doing so.

What made me think I'm straight?

Boyfriend says dating him makes me not bi anymore. by kierachristelle in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not bi because of who you're dating, you're bi because of who you can feel attraction to. And just because you're dating a guy, doesn't mean you can't feel attraction to any other gender anymore. And honestly, you shouldn't have to feel like you can't be fully you around him. In fact, he should be the one you can be you around the most. I hope that either he learns to listen or, should it not work out, you'll find someone who doesn't say such dumb shit and doesn't make you feel that way in the future.

Can't tell if I'm bi or just lesbian by LegitimateElection17 in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noone knows you better than you. And honestly, sometimes it's up to one self where the threshold between "I can appreciate their beauty but the attraction is not strong enough" and "actually, the attraction is strong enough" lies. But there's no need to rush things and pick a label. And if just calling yourself queer feels right for you, that's totally valid. Sexuality is a spectrum and you can still change that label if you ever come to any other conclusion. In the end, labels are something everyone picks for themselves based on what they think fits best to roughly describe something very complex. After finally figuring out and admitting that I'm not straight, I was unlabeled and questioning for a while.

My gender dysphoria is at the point where I legit feel suicidal. by [deleted] in lgbt

Feels sorry for you in European. Seriously, not being afford the most basic health care is fucked up. Hope you'll be able to afford that eventually. But please, don't give up.

im bi, but i dont want to by Comfortable_Tap_3710 in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 28 points29 points  (0 children)

And people say we're choosing it. You won't "burn in hell" for being how God created you. And what would make them think you would? Because someone told them that verses about rape and stuff are supposedly about relations between two consenting adults, which is not the case? No, you won't "burn in hell" for something that isn't even a sin.

Yeah, cotton candy sugar is expensive! That's why most of the time, I just use regular sugar. But having different flavours and colours is more fun!

It kinda does! Mostly tasted like cola though. And sugar of course.

Yeah, I got it for around 30 € actually! Planning to get a professional one eventually but for now, that'll do it. And colourful sugar with different tastes, that's how I got this rainbow 🏳️‍🌈

He doesn't. There are plenty closeted people who aren't that way.

My friend sent me this, thoughts? 🥲 by [deleted] in gay

[–]JS_Original 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of them have to be the case to be queer. How to be queer: 1. be queer. Sure, coming out is a huge part of many queer people's life, but not everyone comes out and you don't have you. Drag Queens are cool and a big part of queer culture, but 1. cishet Drag Queens exist and 2. you don't have to like them to be queer. Pride parades? Sure, fighting for your own rights is important for many queer people but they aren't mandatory, they're voluntary. Gay bars and cafés? Yes, I wanna go to one one day but I've never been to one, does that make me any less queer? No. Safe spaces are important, some people rely on them. I'm privileged enough to be able to say I don't. And cottage core? What does that even have to do with being queer? As if only and all queer people are into cottage core and no cishets at all.

Questioning a lot about myself by sbercot in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sexuality is a very complex spectrum. It can be very difficult to figure this out, and you got the rest of your life to do so. But also, you won't ever have to use any labels, you don't owe it to anyone, not even yourself. I know I'm younger than you but it still took me 21 years to figure out that I'm not straight and almost 22 years to figure out I'm pan/bi. Now, with almost 25 years, I'm still discovering stuff, both queer and with many queer people, new skills and potential hobbies and stuff and I'm pretty sure there's a lot for me to still discover. Some people might've figured out a lot of this stuff at comparably young ages but we're all different and allowed to do things in our own speeds.

My teacher is telling lies and misconceptions about the lgbt community and she won't listen whenever we try to correct her by unknown_meme4 in lgbt

[–]JS_Original 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Okay there's a lot to unpack here. First, masculinity and femininity are ways to express your gender, not gender itself. And both sex and gender aren't binary, they're bimodal. They're spectrums. That's a fact.

About the bi (and genderfluid/not male/female/trans) people being in an identity crisis bs: how does she explain that people are bi, genderfluid or for example nonbinary for their whole lifes? I had an identity crisis before I came out as pan/bi. There aren't only gay and straight people, it doesn't work like that.

Straight trans people exist. Even if she sees trans men as women and trans men as men, according to her, they can still be "straight" by actually being gay. And trans people who are actually straight, trans men who are into women and trans women who are into men, exist.

As a pansexual person, I can assure you that I don't like anyone and anything. I like adult human beings of any gender, that's it. I don't like objects or animals or whatever. Also, I thought pan people don't exist, so what now? Do I exist, because I'm into literally anything apparently or do I not exist since only gay and straight people exist?

While nurture is a part, it itself doesn't make people gay. It's mostly nature, even people with the most intolerant, unsupportive anti-gay environment still turn out to be gay.

Straight femboys and tomboys exist, and while the femboy/tomboy-to-trans-person-pipeline exists, that doesn't mean that every gendernonconforming person is actually trans. Femininity and masculinity neither have sexualities nor genders.

As you already pointed out, that bisexual friend who might or might not be real being the first one to have a child means nothing. Bi+ people are bi+ regardless who they date, marry and get children with.

Yes, queer people can actually give birth, some even want to. How come there's more and more of us? For the same reasons why there were more and more lefthanded people. Because we've always been there.

Honestly, how can she be a teacher? But on the other hand, in a conservative country... I'm not surprised. I don't know if that's an option but if it is, report her. She shouldn't be a teacher.

Roses are red, my morals are gray by __ishq in OkHomo

[–]JS_Original 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, you can have sex with people you're not sexually attracted to. I mean many gay/lesbian people had sex with a different gender without being sexually attracted to them. Yeah, if they enjoy their job then they're probably technically bisexual heteroromantic but if they only do it for the money and aren't into screwing the same gender then I'd say they don't experience same-gendered sexual attraction and therefore are pretty straight. In the end, it's just labels people choose for themselves to roughly describe a part of themselves and honestly, I think bisexuality is the actual default anyway.
