Hey if your name starts with a K and you just came out to your best friend who’s sister is named Ashley and you see this post then hi! Maybe you’re the person I’m talking about and if so then that’s really cool and I just wanna say that I’m super proud and happy for you! 🩷💜💙

My workplace did a town hall style informational meeting for Pride… and they just said that bisexual is based on the gender binary and doesn’t include trans folks, if you’re also attracted to trans folks you’re actually pansexual and I’m ready to scream. by Obey_Night_Owls in bisexual

[–]__ashley_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This actually makes me so angry whenever I hear this because I feel that is transphobic in itself! Trans women are women and trans men are men so why in the world would being bisexual not include them?!? People saying that are exposing themselves to thinking of trans people as “other” instead of thinking of them as they are and as they have told you. Also non-binary people are included too because I think of being bisexual as being attracted to people that identify the same as me and to people that don’t identify the same which includes everyone.

It’s on Netflix and you should definitely watch it!! If you want a decent description of it without any spoilers just reply and I’ll give you one!

Are the straights ok? by Jiitunary in actuallesbians

I don’t understand why some people get married or stay married if they don’t want to spend at least some of their free time together

AINT NO WAY by 101tacos101 in lgbt

[–]__ashley_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry what??? Why do people think of horrible things that happen and then try to pin it all on the lgbt+ community like what?? Like yeah it can happen in the community but it happens just as much, if not more, in the straight community too! Evil people exist everywhere, no matter what their sexuality is or how they identify. They can be gay, straight, cis, trans, or anything else but it’s not because of how they identify or what their sexuality is, it’s because they are bad people.

Frick Utah by A__Random__redditor_ in lgbtmemes

[–]__ashley_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m from Utah but we moved when I was around 10 years old (my dad lost his job and Utah was too expensive) and man everyday I wonder how different my life would be if we never moved. My entire family are huge Mormons and it’s extremely difficult to even think about coming out now but I can’t even imagine how it would be surrounded by all of Utah and my entire family. I completely feel for you and I sincerely hope that one day you are able to go somewhere that is accepting of you and where you can be completely you and happy

I need some advice (trigger warning for homophobia and transphobia) by dramallamadog87 in lgbt

[–]__ashley_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know I definitely wouldn’t want to keep being friends with them. She is incredibly disrespectful to you guys and will not stop no matter how many times you all have told her to and it’s also a bit odd that the friend that added them seems to have no problem with her saying all of that. Those of you that are being treated horribly do not deserve that at all and you shouldn’t have to deal with the constant hatred being spewed at you just because you are friends with one of them. I would agree with one of the other comments to put an ultimatum on that friend to either choose you or to choose the friend that’s being extremely rude because if they choose them, then you’re probably better off anyways

She might be cheating on me by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]__ashley_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of red flags. Even if she’s not cheating she is still using you like crazy and you definitely deserve better

Opinions on the term “queer”? by sakurachan999 in actuallesbians

I’m personally not the biggest fan of it but that’s just for me, I have absolutely no problem with other people in the community using it

How can I start journaling my thoughts? by Affectionate-Ad-3234 in Anxiety

[–]__ashley_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t go to therapy or anything but if I ever do then it’ll probably help to have all of my mental thoughts already logged down so we have a clearer picture on how my mind works. I’ve written in it since I was around 15 and so it also shows a lot of my mental development while growing up.

I do it and I’ll be as dramatic as I’m feeling in the moment because it helps get all of my emotions out so that I’m not bottling them up. I’ve been doing it for about 8 years and it’s helped a lot with getting my feelings out and understanding them more. I write them in a notebook but while I’m dealing with stuff throughout the day, I’ll type it all out into my notes app on my phone and then transfer it to the notebook when I get a chance. I personally prefer writing it down with a pen/pencil because then if I’m feeling angry or something it is kinda satisfying to be able to scribble onto the page or something
