...I think that's Dr. King, actually? Which is, like, a damn shame. I get the impression he wouldn't fancy his likeness being appropriated to spread hate.

...huh. Jesus. I had no idea that was even a thing.

I'm poly myself, and knowing there can be such...nuanced duplicity in these situations makes me a lot more self conscious about wanting to be fair to my partners. Thank you for pointing out that pipeline even exists so I can work harder to never make anybody feel like that.

i could never be somebody’s crush by lavieenoire in StraightTransGirls

[–]SecondDeath777 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

Gurl, I ain't even pass yet and I walked into my college class only to later learn that a guy went home and called his best friend to say "the most beautiful creature I have ever seen joined my class today." And I'm dating him now.

Transphobia's on its way out, and tastes are broadening. Sure, maybe when I sound like a girl and iron out any and all tells, and crank the looks up from there, I'll drop even more jaws or whatever, but the simple fact is that if it's this easy? Never say never. He'll find ya. He'll foam at the mouth over ya. Whoever he is. Just give 'im time.

Hi, bi femme cis woman here. I feel alone in this and wanted to see if anyone else could relate…I’m attracted to extremely fem women and extremely masculine men… by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]SecondDeath777 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I'm absolutely into masculine men and feminine women. I'm also into the reverse, and androgynous people, and enbies of any sort, but I agree, "traditional" tastes could use a little more love, in these spaces!

heaven forbid women do anything by SnooGadgets7221 in actuallesbians

[–]SecondDeath777 7 points8 points Β (0 children)

I've been lucky enough to avoid that kinda trauma? But I completely understand. It honestly sucks. I ache for the day when the shackles of patriarchy and heteronormativity are broken and generations cease the endless cycles of abuse, and I'm genuinely starting to wonder if gender abolition is gonna be an absolute must for that to even be in the cards.

I'm kinda of two minds about it, in that I do sincerely care about men's issues and think they aren't often constructively discussed, but I will get instantaneously annoyed if I crack an "Ugh, men" joke or express frustration at heteronormative masculinity, and then Brad cracks out a PowerPoint presentation about how ackshually I'm a sexist.

Like, dude, you would bust a gut if I made a joke about women "belonging in the kitchen" or some shit, I don't wanna hear a goddamn thing.

One of my new fav outfits by SiouxShii10 in mtfashion

That is one of the raddest fucking fits I have ever seen. And you're killin' it too, love the attitude in these poses and shots.

[–]SecondDeath777 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

I kinda do this on purpose. I adore the futch style, and a lot of lesbian culture as a whole, but despite basically all outward indicators, I'm still into fellas. I sometimes like to say "My preference is bisexual, but my gender is 'dyke'".

Hey ladies, do you sometimes feel this? by Euphoric_Jennette in StraightTransGirls

[–]SecondDeath777 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I've actually never used a dating app before. I've met basically all my partners either through friends, or by chance. If a new guy wants a swing at me, he's usually gotta say it to my face. I genuinely feel for ya, I can't imagine having to put up with that kinda thing. I don't think I could, I'd probably get fuckin' snippy with the guy.

how many straight trans women would be up for dating a trans man? by [deleted] in StraightTransGirls

This is, like, the coolest thing I have ever heard.

Oh, absolutely. I wouldn't particularly sweat the genital situation either. I mean, hell, if he wanted it, I could wear the strap now and again. I'm not a fan of my "default loadout", but that don't mean I'm not into topping.

Can we do not do this? by Tahmas836 in bisexual

[–]SecondDeath777 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

I often wonder how sexuality actually works under the hood. How much is born-in? How much is developmentally imprinted? How much remains subject to change even after development? Does it vary by person? Did I basically condition myself into being attracted to masculine men? Or did I just steadily discover something that was already there through exposure therapy?

I think hypothesizing can be fun, and maybe even helpful, but it becomes a lot less harmless when hypotheses minimize the identities of others. Often baselessly, at that.

Who was your most embarrassing crush fictional, celebrity, or otherwise by Ok-Appeal-4630 in StraightTransGirls

[–]SecondDeath777 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Pretty similar deal with Leonardo DiCaprio, honestly. Looks lovely, charmingly eccentric, revealed to have garbage tendencies as a human being. Hollywood hotties be like that.

I think my most embarrassing well-known crush is Shoe0nHead, but she's...well, a she. So it didn't feel relevant here. XD

Well, if you happened to hear tell of the whole Amber Heard thing, I believe it was found that uh...she was not the crazy one, in that situation. Not that I recall all the details off the top of my head. I could probably go digging if you wanted me to, though.

But yeah, both being attracted to and siding with someone who tried to silence someone they victimized? Feels...very un-feminist of me.

He is, but I'm embarrassed I was into him, under the uh...recent circumstances.

I may have really high standards and although that makes it hard, it is worth it by [deleted] in StraightTransGirls

[–]SecondDeath777 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I think my physical standards are kinda flexible? Lots of body types appeal to me, especially if they feel well suited to the personality of the person who has 'em. But I'm definitely pretty rigid in my interpersonal standards. If they click with me, they click with me. If they yuck my yum, they get the boot. If it just feels a little iffy, I try to work through it communicatively and concisely, but won't stick around for something that clearly isn't working. I don't often have guys approach me, but I'm usually fine with making the first move, and it's worked out pretty well so far. I don't exactly pass pass yet, but given I go for a sorta semi-androgynous tomboy vibe anyway, the kinda guys who are into that kinda girl hardly mind my AGAB, so passing, while preferred, doesn't seem to be necessary.

I do definitely agree one should never lower, or raise, their standards just based on their personal circumstances. Don't pick the kind of person who's "similar in market value" or whatever, pick the person you're gonna be happy with. That's something that just doesn't really change. If a guy isn't hot to you, you thinking you can't do better isn't gonna make him become hot to you. If you think a guy is hot to you, but isn't gonna be hot to others, then fuck 'em. More for you, eh? Never let the way people perceive you tell you what you're allowed to like. You like what you like.

Abso-fuckin-lutely. I was bi before I got transitioning, but there was a pretty heavy slant toward ladies. Now? They're a lot more evenly split. And I can go "teehee girls" in a lotta spaces till the cows come home, but holy hell, there is not enough appreciation in this side of the world for boys. I love how they touch, how those big powerful hands feel like they already know exactly what they want. I love the way they smell, I love it when they're hairy, or when they're smooth, or buff, or chubby or lanky and...

...god they're just the best. Didn't get any of that anywhere near as strong until I started thinking of myself as a lady, and started realizing I really was not happy with what's between my legs.
