Are you straight or LGBT?

[Damnation]

I picked trans because it's more significant to me, but I'm a gay trans man and I'm aroace by choice -- not to devalue what it means to be aroace by any means, I just don't know any other term for someone who abstains from sex and romance.

I learned this stuff about myself some time after turning 22 I think, and by then I had already been suicidal for most of my life. I don't think discovering my identity sooner would have changed much, and I seriously doubt that being born in the right body or being cis and straight would have kept me from being suicidal. It's just salt in the wound, really.

I've picked Bi but I identify as Pan

 

[myownpetvirus]

Straight but if I was born a woman I'd probably be bisexual. I'm only really attracted to more masculine women.

Are you trans?

 

[cyanlove]

It's basically half straight half not. Interesting.

 

[dissident]

Demi/A-Sexual.. More the latter.

 

[stermc]

Pansexual

 

[NotStrongEnough]

I'm gay as fuck. Im one of the weird gays who has never ever felt straight. It's one of the reasons that I want to die. I'm not normal and I never will be. I accept that I'm gay, I don't hate myself. I just wish I knew what normal felt like.

 

[Ultracheese]

Gay trans man who constantly feels like a fraud for not being a "real" gay man, if that makes any sense.

Someone explain pan to me

 

[Winterreise]

I better not tell

[onceuponadec]

I'm asexual. I have just never had the urge or want to be with another person sexual. I will never have children or a partner and I'm fine with that.

 

[theboy]

Im Vintage!
Hetero

 

[sunsetting]

Assexual. It's such a rare thing that people think I'm insane whenever I'm asked why I don't have a girlfriend and I tell them I dislike sex or being romantically close to somebody. It's just that those things feel like a chore to me, dunno why it's seen as something transcendental that everyone must enjoy.

I think it's just because it feels "really nice" to most people and so they give it a really prestigious label such as transcendental or divine. I personally view love as being no different then getting high and then coming down, the only difference being that it is getting high off of a person rather than a drug.
I understand that this pertains more to the honeymoon phase but it seems like the honeymoon phase is the big motivator to seek out love and relationships so I think it is still a relevant sentiment.

 

[Scythe]

Trans and gay, being trans is ... around 25% of the reason why I'm looking to die, I don't have access to hrt and a bunch of other problems somewhat related to being trans that I won't specify here.

 

[taq]

I know my mere existence will be controversial, so I'll put this behind spoilers for those that would rather not see.

Spoiler

I'm a pedophile. I'm not gonna use some fancy new words 4chan and twitter came up with (MAP) as I dislike the idea of inventing new terminology for something we already have a word for.
To clarify: non-offending and strongly against any kind of abuse ofc; I see this as obvious but some do not...

Unfortunately I couldn't find the selector switch for what I'd be attracted to when I was born - so I didn't really have any influence.
However I was able to sorta "make" myself gay by focusing on.. well gay stuff and getting a bf.

being a twink helped in this regard.
but lucky this topic doesn't affect me too much and is certainly not the reason for my passively suicidal behavior

 

[violetchiwawa]

I'm lesbian. I don't think I'm suicidal for being lesbian though

 

[tomvvywdkunbngyres]

Not sure if I'm asexual or straight. I've been depressed since my teens, which has made me uninterested in a lot of things (especially social events/relations). I can't tell if the reason I haven't had and don't want a romantic relationship is because I'm asexual or because I'm too apathetic and hopeless.

 

[blackroseRM]

I'm non-binary and pansexual. Wish I could choose multiple options

Someone explain pan to me

just means you're attracted to people regardless of their gender identity

 

[disabledlife]

You forgot the non-binaries, so the survey is biased, you should start it again, with more choices.

 

[jigsaw_falling]

i'm queer, probably fit the best into being bisexual, but i don't like labels so i just say i like who i like.

 

[Source Energy]

Straight, and terribly unlucky in love. Biggest reason to c.b.t., along with bullying and loneliness

 

[lottiecara139]

Trans and lesbian but both completely unrelated to wanting to CBT. Those are the only two things I don't actively dislike about myself honestly

 

[Infinite Conscious]

I am Bi, and probably preferring the same sex 70% of the time, and being from Eastern Europe, I fully grasp the suffering involved.

But the Americans (probably a couple of dozen people in the Democratic party at most) have made a mockery out of this for the whole world.

Non-binary, pansexual, Q... wtf does that even mean?

Don't get me wrong, I don't judge anyone and could be attracted to anyone... but to insist there are more than 2 sexes in nature is absurd.

The rest of the world cannot follow you with this.

 

[VioletNight]

Bi, but never been with the same sex due to cultural stigma

 

[ironstar]

I'm mostly gay / slightly bi I guess

 

[WaitingToGo]

Trans and asexual but as I could only vote for thing, I didnt vote at all

 

[UseItOrLoseIt]

Straight but I've sucked a d***. True story. My first romantic experience was with a dude. And no, I'm not repressing anything. Don't be analyzing me lol

 

[lost-unfound]

both trans and ace so I can't really vote lol. but it has nothing to do with why I want to ctb. actually I'd love to stay alive just to spite the people who want us dead. but it's not worth putting myself through that just for spite.
