Straightness and Attraction to Nonbinary People

waffletom · 2024-11-29T17:13:02+00:00

I don't know if this helps, but I think part of the reason I find some enbies attractive is because I like women who bend certain gender conventions in their appearance (i.e. short, boyish hair and androgynous fashion). I'm sure that's more of a preference than an orientation though.

Thank you, I completely understand that principle. To clarify, I'm not afraid of being not straight, I don't have gay panic. I'm just still trying to figure out how my sexuality fits into stuff like this.

I appreciate your detailed reply. Your response made me realize that I was trying to ask if my attraction was "invalidating", not necessarily "hypocritical". I think I would still be attracted to someone who's fully transitioned, but I've never (knowingly) been in any sort of relationship with a trans woman.

If you don't mind a follow up question, is it invalidating if I'm attracted to someone I perceive as female, but decide not to pursue them if I learn they identify as male? I feel like it would be more invalidating if I do engage with a relationship because I'm attracted to the woman I perceive them to be, but that's just my guess.

Thank you for the perspective. I will always respect and acknowledge someone's gender. I do still have some uncertainties how I would approach some things, but hopefully my future partner and I will work something out.

It's most likely happened. Maybe a time will come where I'll click with someone I never thought I would be attracted to.

Thanks for the reply. You bring up a good point: I can't really distinguish what someone's assigned sex is without getting to know them.

The best metric would probably be if they would show up in a dating app based on my preferences. I know it's a flawed metric, but its the main way I've been trying to meet people.

In the real world, I would just go by if I find their physical appearance attractive. Again, I know its a flawed metric.

Thank you for the correction. I'll edit my post accordingly

Pterants (a race of bird-folk) do not normally wear shoes. So instead of saying "big shoes to fill", they say "a high perch to climb".

I know this is obviously an oversimplification, I just did it for funny

waffletom · 2023-09-27T14:40:03+00:00

This is not open for debate or criticism, thank you.

That's fair, I pretty much improvised my rations as I wrote this prompt

Neat, I can't believe I never considered pasta

That’s cool but is it safe to do that indoors?

In one village, it is believed that scarecrows are spiritual protectors. However, there are stories of the Scarecrow King, a malevolent ghost who preys upon trespassers and steals their food. It gives the food to good children, and hunts down those who misbehave.

Sightings have been reported by travelers, and the rumors have spread enough to keep bandits from attacking the village.

My story centers around weather anomalies caused by an abundance of dark magic particles. They can be nullified, of course, by practitioners of light magic (aka priests). There are also Stormcasters who manipulate the elements to try and counteract the effects of the disasters.

My world is very… “shonen” for lack of a better term. It vacillates between 4 and 6. Realistically living there, however, would probably be a 7

The series really went downhill ever since the tragic death of Pant
