Straight people think that either you know you’re gay from childhood or something big happens one day and you Realize (and it is like that to some of course) but lbr for many it goes like
I’m straight
No I’m bi
Wait am I biromantic ace?
No I’m definitely bi
…I may not be bi
Am I straight after all? Am I ace??
Maybe I’m demi??? Who knows
I might also be aroace…
Fuck it I’m pretty sure I’m queer
or whatever
LMAOOOOOO AND Y’ALL THINK THIS IS A GOOD AND REGULAR THING???
the only reason you guys have this kind of experiences is because of mogai ideologies and you being on tumblr too young. this kind of shit NEVER existed beforehand and all it looks like from here is you all getting confused and overcomplicating your sexuality on the faults of mogai hell!
Imagine how many young people would understand what they actually are if all of these mogai genders didn’t exist.
If the ‘pansexual’ label didn’t exist nor did the weird pressure that tucutes give to want you to not be ONLY attracted to one gender, I would have figured out I was gay a lot earlier than I actually figured it out.
So basically OP is a straight person who experiences attraction uniquely and has some trouble with relationships? But guess what, we literally all have some level of difficulty with relationships and unique experiences. You’re not a demiromantic-heterosexual, you’re just straight, chill.
wow exclusionists sure hate questioning people
For the record, all of those nonsense additions above where people are crapping on questioning people are, in fact, completely wrong.
Not only do we all live in societies that aren’t adequately accepting of those of us who are in the LGBTQ+ community, the process of coming out to yourself and realizing that your gender or sexuality aren’t as you were told is complex and challenging to deal with. It can be fraught with pain and discomfort in the best of circumstances and it’s always challenging.
But it’s nothing to be afraid of and it’s certainly nothing you should ever feel ashamed for. A lot of bi people think that they’re gay at first. A lot of gay people think that they’re bi at first. As you grow and learn to know yourself you might change the way you look at who you are and that’s totally fine.
Even if we had a truly positive environment everywhere, we’d still have questioning people. We’ve always had questioning people. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with questioning and certainly nothing wrong with realizing that you have one of these genders or sexualities that these bigots say don’t actually exist.
Contrary to the kind of nightmare framework that people like @lovbutch, @transmedtwink, and @tea-and-biscourse envision, figuring yourself out is a healthy and normal process. Don’t listen to them, they’re just afraid that if someone else identifies differently from them then it somehow devalues their identity or makes them re-evaluate themselves and think about the pain they went through when they first came out to themselves.
Fuck that, fuck them, keep listening to your own heart. There’s nothing wrong with being demiromantic, pansexual, or non-binary, and a bunch of conservatives in the LGBTQ+ community can’t change that.
fun fact: i went through exactly this (well not the exact same order but y’know) way before i was super active on tumblr. i didn’t know what mogai was until pretty recently.
coming here and talking to other people like me was what helped me realize that i wasn’t alone. that it was okay to explore my identity. that i wasn’t a bad person for having thought i was a lesbian or ace or bi or pan or any of the other labels i went through.
the idea that “this kind of shit never existed beforehand” is complete nonsense and the amount of bile in the first three reblogs is sickening. grow up and stop pretending that your experiences define everyone else’s.
I love how bisexuality is now a mogai label and basically straight. Fuck these people. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with questioning and you are no less queer for not knowing your identity right off the bat. I went back and forth between straight and closeted bi for years and hated myself for it, wanna call me a dirty mogai and kick me out too? Even if you don’t consider ace or demi to be lgbtq identities that doesn’t mean you should be disrespectful and exclusive towards people who question if they are those things. Questioning people should be welcomed no matter what, and they will always be welcomed by me.
For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.
We’re losing our collective shit laughing at this. Holy crap it’s so funny, please turn the sound on.
a photographer captured a wild black vulture preening a northern caracara. while this interaction may seem strange, considering the birds are not in the same family, they are both scavengers and regularly interact over meals of carrion.
