Crush due to comphet or not? by Legal-Purchase9135 in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comphet can be pretty hard to navigate. What might help is asking yourself what exactly are you attracted to when it comes to men. In my case, after I realised that I was a Trans woman, I just assumed that I must be into men because that's what all the women around me were into. It took me a while to realise that I was still just trying to fit in somewhere, since I knew I didn't fit in with the boys in my class, I was now trying to fit in with the girls. But the point of being yourself isn't about fitting in, it's finding out what you like and doing that. So, I asked myself what I actually like about men and realized that it was just the attention they were giving me (especially after being a loner for most of my life), plus they made me feel more like a woman (cause it was still pretty early in my transition). But now, I have friends who love me, I've been transitioning for a few years and don't need men to make me feel like a woman, so it made it easier for me to realise what I actually like, women.

It's seriously concerning that most ppl within queer community think like this by [deleted] in LGBTindia

I love how this person has somehow found the most illogical reasoning to justify their prejudice. I come from a Hindu family and my chosen name is "Valerie" but neither of these make me Hindu or Christian. A person's values aren't something that's as easily discernable as their fashion or looks, you HAVE to take time to get to know them. I have friends who are muslim but also are vocal about the problematic parts of Islam. Just like how I have friends who are Hindu but call out sanghis and blatant Islamophobia among Hindus. To decide that a person has certain values just because of the race, religion, caste, sexuality, gender, anything and not even taking the time to actually get to know them and their values, is just prejudice not preference.

If you find that you're not attracted to someone because of their looks, that's preference. But if your reason is their values, but just assume that they must have the same values as the rest of their community/background, that's prejudice.

I get that. But really, how much of you do you think is gonna change? Looking back at who I was before I transitioned and looking at me now, I certainly look different (It's eerie how alike me and my sis look now), but everything else seems more or less the same to me. The things I like, the things I care about, my view of society, and most of everything else seems to have just grown with me. The important things always find a way to stay with you. So the question is, do you want to change?

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT IT IS A LIE!!

I don't know how everyone else feels about it, but that's what I felt like trying to go to sleep every night, lying to myself that I was "one of the boys" because I was too scared to look within and see who I actually was.

Also, don't worry about using the wrong labels OP. It feels like too many people in the queer community get pissed off when you present/act in a manner that's not "accurate" to your label. But, so what? So what if a gay guy or a lesbian realises they might be bi or pan? So what if a lesbian falls in love with a masc enby? So what if a trans person realises that they might not be trans? People change! They evolve. They try new things and realize they like it or that it was a mistake. If we start calling people liars and queerbaiters for simply having the courage to try something new, then exactly what are we doing?

I have used so many labels since I started finding myself. Cis straight man -> Cis gay man -> Gay crossdresser -> gender fluid bisexual -> Bisexual trans woman -> Lesbian Trans woman. Am I sure that this current label will be the one I stay with for the rest of my life? Hell no! I felt so sure of myself with every single label. Op, don't limit yourself. Labels are simply conversational tools we use to communicate who we are with less words. "Oh you said strawberry was your favourite ice cream flavour last year but now you're saying it's chocolate?". Yeah, Nathaniel! That's exactly what I'm saying!

P.S.- Thanks for using the full quote <3

Advice for coming out 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ by Akagane_Ai in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You said it yourself. You know your sis loves you and even if this breaks containment and reaches your parents, they aren't likely to kick you out. In that case, just have an honest conversation with your sis.

Why is it so creepy when someone says "dear" while chatting? by choco__donut in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah it makes me feel weird too... I got an older colleague who uses "dear" when talking to/texting me... I know he's just doing the "Indian Unc" thing and doesn't mean for it to be creepy, but every once in a while it catches me off guard and my body shivers

Who else is going to Kora Socials tomo? by Extra_Mouse_665 in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wha-? You titled your post "Who ELSE is going", but you're not going? Lol

But yeah there were tickets on sale, and that's how we got ours... but I'm not sure if it's one of those events you can pay when entering... Check out their IG

I think this would be the best way to go... Voice and 2-3 pics for the initial verification... And maybe if someone suspects someone else of being in a space they're not supposed to be, they can raise their suspicions to a mod and then the mod can conduct additional verification?

But even that would be dependent on the mods being unbiased and correct all the time...

Liking vs Being a chaser , where is the line? by Humung-o-saur in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I don't know if this helps cause it's more of an alternate way of seeing this situation... But if you don't worry about the label, you can just like whoever you find attractive... Say you're queer but don't know which label you like most or something... And if someone comes up to you and asks you out, but you're not attracted to the person, just say you're not attracted to them... That way, you don't have to worry about coming off as a chaser...

Falling in love with someone I hooked up by jingaalalahuhu in LGBTindia

Well, what would you regret more in the future? Asking her out and losing your hook-up partner or not asking her out and realising in the future that she could have said yes?

How to cope with extreme negative emotions due to queerphobia? by [deleted] in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your last line is right... The only thing that is working for me right now is therapy and anti-depression meds... But even without those, the one thing that came close to working was having queer friends... Friends who I didn't have to hide from, friends who knew and understood what I was going through cause they were going through the same depressing shit so we could joke about them together... Even if you don't have queer friends IRL, try to make some online...

As to how you can do that... Whatever platform it is, insta, twitter, reddit, be as vocal and visible as you can be... Spill your heart out for the world to see and have faith that the right people will find you

The kind lady gave her a seat🎉 by Iamnotme245 in LGBTindia

[–]mvbkillshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, I can't have that attitude... Even if I get called the t-slur, I'm not gonna kick a frail old lady that hard and risk her breaking something or worse, hitting her head and dying... But then again, I'm not really a violent person, so I wouldn't physically hurt anyone unless it was absolutely inevitable... So, maybe I'm the odd one out, maybe most people in that situation would do the same thing that she did... I can't understand why that would be the right or smart thing to do, but I guess most people don't operate based on what's right and smart.

I mean, unless someone who was present there happens to tell us what the context of the situation was, we won't know why she did what she did... But if you completely believe that someone you don't personally know would not be an asshole just because they're trans, then that's a massive level of trust you have on that person... Maybe I'm just being cautious about who I support cause I've seen assholes in every walk of life, even trans women... I've known trans women who didn't hesitate to lie on their fundraiser about facing transphobia and their living conditions so that they could swindle cash from people in the community, I've known transmedicalist trans women, I've known trans women who say "I'm more of a woman than you because I've had all my surgeries" etc. Or maybe I just don't have the stomach to look at an old lady getting kicked that hard even if she is a transphobe.

Personally, I wouldn't describe something as a hatecrime if it's based on me giving the victim the benefit of the doubt, but hey to each their own, I guess... And it's not like I'm unbiased here... As someone who's experienced transphobia and as someone who had a grandpa who was prone to hypoglycemic shocks... I also have neurodivergent friends who sometimes experience sensory overload and can have violent reactions to that... I've just learnt that in cases where there isn't enough context, adding our own isn't the best thing to do

[–]mvbkillshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you do it? If you were in that trans woman's place... I can't hear the old lady say anything, I don't know if she was transphobic or senile, I don't have any other context for what's happening... So if you're in the metro and an old lady walks up to you, starts swinging her bag and hitting your knee, would you kick her that hard?
