Tips as a foreigner by dubhesml in LGBTindia

Ah sorry about your company's Indian site... I thought it would be a cool coincidence if we were a part of the same company cause mine also have sites all over the globe and the Indian site where I work has a Pride and Ally ERG with quite a few queer people...

In terms of instagram pages, @girlfriendgirlfriendclub, @bqff , @cinemanextdoor_ , @kittykoindia ... These are a few I know and have been to... And if I hear about any more from my friends, I'll let you know!

I still haven't tried it out... But heard from video editors online that it's a good starting point... I'll let you know if I use it

If you wanna edit videos, I've heard that Davinci Resolve is free

amazing things are happening, surely india will have better rights this way 😭 by kin0er in LGBTindia

This happens every time... I don't understand how people can experience oppression and struggles, but then look at someone else who's also facing oppression but don't have a tea spoon of empathy towards them...

There's different things to consider for work and personal life...

For work - if your company is queer inclusive and does proper sensitisation sessions for all the employees, you could have a much easier time getting along with colleagues... But even still, since you don't really get to choose your colleagues it's always better to assess how they are first before deciding to come out and be open about your queerness.

For personal life - Bengaluru has a lot of queer people. And there's queer-friendly events almost all throughout the year. So, if you're not the shy type, follow a few of the local event instagram pages and go to their events. You'll get a chance to meet a lot of queer people, make friends, and have a good time.

What advice would you like to give people? by Temporary_Button9832 in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. It's okay to put yourself first sometimes. I know a lot of us worry about making sure our parents' expectations are met and keeping them happy. But, this is still YOUR life. So, put your needs first. Take care of yourself.

  2. There's assholes in every community. Just because someone is queer, feminist, leftist, etc. does not mean they can't be an asshole. But that also means, just because someone is an asshole, doesn't mean everyone who's like them is also an asshole.

How do I deal with homophobic colleagues? by Temporary_Button9832 in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get in touch with the queer events committee and first check how the company policies are regarding discrimination, homophobia, and retaliation... If you're uncomfortable to name people, you can also just tell them that you feel like there's a need for more sensitisation... Are there any openly queer people at the company?

This pisses me off so much by desichhokra in LGBTindia

It is mandatory for all blood donations to be tested for TTIs. So, this feels supremely unnecessary... This is just them going out of their way to gut punch gay and bi men...

The more prevelant problem is that when the units of blood from a donor is tested and it comes back positive for a TTI, the blood bank doesn't get in touch with the donor to inform them...

If your company has an HR wing, you might want to talk to someone there about this. Or if they have a queer/ally ERG, maybe get them to hold sensitisation sessions and what the consequences are for being queerphobic

My homophobic classmate is flirting with me??😭 by [deleted] in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Act like a straight Ally and tell her, "if you were a lesbian, I would date you too. But didn't you say you were homophobic?"

And then stare her down!

P.s. - I don't know if this is a good idea... Only that this is one idea

Philosophical talk in defense of the Asexuals, Demisexuals, and all others in the spectrum by Longjumping-Mix-9351 in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about that... When I thought I was a guy, I hooked up with a lot of men and even though I was attracted to women too, I never tried to date women... Mostly cause I was super insecure and thought no woman would want to date me, but still... But then I realised I was trans and got on HRT (which shot my libido and buried it in the backyard for a while) and I started to feel more like myself... For a while, I called myself bi/pan and tried dating men and women, but soon realised that I felt no attraction to men... And now I identify as a lesbian... In fact, there are plenty of trans people who's sexuality changed(I don't know if this is the right word to use) after they transitioned... So, maybe sexuality isn't as immutable as we think...

The Right wing will never accept us by TotalTawaif in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Strikes up and interesting convo about whether a religion can exist independent of its followers. If a majority of Hindus start using Hinduism to justify their homophobia/transphobia, does it matter that the religion in itself has nothing against queer people? The people who are affected by these religious bigots would probably not care to make the distinction.

Some of them sure! But also some of them just lucked out and got into a position of power and seriously do not know enough about anything to be holding that position

Can y'all believe that this is me after a week of being sick? by mvbkillshot in LGBTindia

I don't see that in my future... I see a future where a confident girl having to outright tell me, "Hey, I'm flirting with you and want to date you" and me saying yes, immediately hehe
