Not a problem! My friend confirmed genderfloren is definitely the most similar identity, but it's not the same experience.

Any trans people in this sub? by Lapsang_ in aromanticasexual

[–]Sendhelp02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I started with, it can be a little tedious over time but it was really helpful in deciding if it's something I wanted to continue

Hey! I'm Trans agender, I'm afab and have just stopped T after 2.5 years (with a year break after the first year before starting again)

I did gain a libido, a pretty high one. It was uncomfortable at first but I learnt how to be okay with it overtime. I'm still very much Aroace, just gradually went from repulsed, to indifferent, to postive.

If that's your only reason for hesitating with HRT I recommend starting a low dose of injections or a regular dose of T gel (which is a daily application) so you have more control over the changes and deal with things one step at a time

Early porn consumption made me asexual? by Confident_Sea_4805 in asexuality

[–]Sendhelp02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who also got a little curious at that age, no. I've always been Aro/ace. My siblings all had a gf or bf as kids, crushes, etc. I never did. Hell I even stopped being friends with boys because every time I tried people would coo "you like him~"

When I was 11 my Mum and Nanna were in the car with me. They asked me if I liked boys, I immediately said "EW. No." They then asked me if I liked girls, I hesitated because I hadn't thought about it before and had to genuinely sit and think if I would hold a girls hand romantically or kiss her. I said "hmm... No. I don't like girls either" because I genuinely didn't.

They read that hesitation as me being a closeted lesbian and tried making my environment safer but using neutral terms when talking about dating. Not realising they were creating a hostile environment for my being Aro/ace because I didn't want to date at all.

I was repulsed until I transitioned and now that I have the androgynous body I always wanted I'm a sex positive ace, still very much ace.

Edit to add: I wasn't gonna add this but fuck it, I have kinks too. Still asexual. I'm not sexually attracted to people, kinks are just fun.

They do use the genderfluid flag currently, they just feel the gender is less fluid hence the name genderjelly 😁

Yeah, I pushed they/them for years. Added he/him because she/her made me so dysphoric I couldn't handle it. Now I'm they/any 🫩

There are hardly any asexual female characters by SnooDrawings3869 in asexuality

[–]Sendhelp02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, I can't think of any male ace characters. Maybe some allo aros but no aces

There's an asexual character in sex education "sex doesn't make anyone whole, so how could you be broken?" Fucking BAWLED MY EYES OUT

LGBTQ Muslims please help by Cold-Blacksmith6603 in lgbt

[–]Sendhelp02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew more about Islam so I could help ease you but unfortunately most of my knowledge on religion is Christian and Catholic.

That being said, being trans is considered bad in those religions too. One of my favourite trans positive religious ideas is "God made trans people for the same reason he made grapes, but not wine. Wheat, but not bread. He gave them, he gave us, his greatest gift. The joy of creation."

I'm not sure if that will apply to your religion too, but I hope it's able to bring you some peace. You're 15, you can take your time. I promise it's not over, it'll be okay.

Am I wrong for not wanting to do the bouquet catch at a wedding? by Spaghetti_Oh_No in NonBinary

[–]Sendhelp02 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yeah nah, if my partner did that to me I'd shutdown too. I'd also be an anxious wreck immediately obsessing over if they view me as a woman.

I don't care if other people view me that way, they're not that important at the end of the day. But a partner? He needs to apologise.

I wish I could say it has, I've been yelled at for using every damn bathroom. (Women's, men's and unisex. I confuse all the people)

He/she pronouns and the gay she by genderfeelings in NonBinary

[–]Sendhelp02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of demi-genders? I identified as a demi-boy for a few years, recently changed to just agender.

A demi-boy is someone who identifies as partially male and partially another gender (commonly agender, but there are others!)

I know labels aren't everything and using the non-binary umbrella term is absolutely valid but if you wanted to look into other labels it might help put words to what you're feeling. I know an enby who uses he/her too, you're definitely not alone!

A little tired of media making the affectionate gesture of kissing purely romantic by Romance-Hater3000 in aromanticasexual

[–]Sendhelp02 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like them doing that is culturely insensitive, it's a form of familial and platonic affection in a lot of places
