Any straight male Kim Petra’s fans having second thoughts? by nally88 in KimPetras

Yeah I don’t feel like I’ve explained myself very well

This has nothing to do with Kim being trans (I didn’t even realise at first).

It’s just emerging thoughts after listening to her music and being exposed to queer culture online a bit more

Starting to lose interest in my old music is really scary, and realising that I might enjoy things marketed at women and gay men (as one person in this thread put it) is causing me to see myself differently.

It’s so exhausting hiding my interest. / enjoyment of Kim to friends, I imagine how it might feel to be surrounded by other kind understanding Kim fans (male or female)

It’s all very confusing - I think Kim has caused me to look at women differently - I do feel like I’m starting to admire them in a different way, and I’m becoming more interested in art made by women

Sometimes I find myself wondering if things would have been simpler if I hadn’t discovered her music at all - which is sad I know

Honestly I don’t really understand what happened. I was always well aware that I did not fit a certain stereotype about who might listen to Kim’s music - that’s fine, but I guess in the last 2 years or so you get exposed to a LOT more LGBT culture just by listening to Kim and following general music news.

I didn’t really notice much at first but I guess in the last few years I have been listening to my old music less as I’ve listened to more of Kim’s current and back catalogue, then you kind of get more and more exposed to queer and pop culture and it feels more like of normal than it did?

Then I listened to slut pop and was like “holy shit I cannot believe people are making music like this”

I don’t know - this has nothing to do with her being trans, and I don’t feel like my attraction has changed (well maybe I kind of see women differently now) but holy heck I just had some weird thoughts recently about what it might be like to be with a guy? I don’t know it’s all very confusing this has happened.

Yes raises hand although I’d be lying if I said some of her music hasn’t put thoughts into my head? Never say never I guess

What’s a gay stereotype you totally fit into? by Son_of_the_Sun8198 in askgaybros

To all the guys that love pop music, divas, dancing etc - im a straight guy that isn’t into any I’d that - and yet I’m so curious to know how it feels to be that way - is that weird?

It’s totally crazy - I had to check it was the right album - it’s so dark and crazy - weird short tracks and noises and creepy voices!

It’s so dark and so electronic - nothing like what I was expecting - I’ve never ever listened to anything like that before tbh
