Are you straight or LGBT?

[bedhead_baby]

Asexual lesbian, but NOT aromantic in the slightest. I absolutely love being close to someone, and physical affection. Just not sexual.

 

[ChronicallyCynical]

I am cisgender. Well, sort of. I'm comfortable enough using the pronouns I've had since birth. Sometimes, I'm keener on looking slightly more like the opposite gender, or the aesthetics, and sometimes I like messing with people regarding my gender because it's kinda' fun. Not in the cat-fishing sense, just in the "well, you did assume my gender, rather than just ask, did you expect me not to have a laugh, lol?" I just really don't like assumptions. Technically, based on a lgbtq+ quiz, I wound up getting "gender apathetic", which is a term I find myself being comfortable with and I quite enjoy using. Use whatever pronoun as long as you took the care to check with me, either personally or having read a post/comment that says this.

As per my orientation... I sort of assumed I was into men. And I still do think that I'm into men, but that attraction is both very specific and not really. I lean towards men who aren't heavily masculine-looking, but to say I only like femboys or effeminate dudes would be incorrect. Moreover, I think my attraction may not be as strong or as sexual as that of the norm, and sometimes I wonder if maybe I fall under demisexual. At the same time, I still experience some such attraction, and I do read smut and the like -- but I don't find it to be some conclusive identifier. I've come across many aros and aces who still participate in 18+ roleplays or reading smut for any number of reasons. I know I experience crushes rarely, that it takes a while for me to notice someone in that way, that it takes me a while to realise and accept I have such feelings, and that I also don't really get jealous of other people of my gender if they get with any irl crush I might have. I just... move on. No tears, no nothing.

Sometimes I wonder if something's wrong with me, but then I realise... maybe that's a good thing.

Also, I tend to crush more on fictional guys. Plus, I tend to prefer reading smut to seeing sexual images/videos and don't really imagine myself as "doing the deed" with someone. I prefer reading about fictional characters doing one another, and I would often, even with reader-inserts just think up a fictional character or just read "Y/N" as "Y/N" (like that's the actual name). Idk what that says about me.

 

[violetdevil]

Bisexual

 

[front of me]

Trans

 

[Wehmut]

Im asexual And I might be aromantic but I am not entirely sure

 

[jbear824]

Gay. Well homosexual to be more specific, but I'm also aromantic. And I prefer queerplatonic relationships over anything else. Which is not a mainstream concept, so is exceedingly rare to find in the wild. I'm in one now with my best friend/partner and it's whats keeping me alive for the most part.

 

[ayaneechan]

I'm trans and asexual

 

[TheMetalhead]

Straight.

 

[Minsu]

Bi. 70% vs 30% preference for guys though

 

[mindless_imp]

Trans and aromantic. My plan to CTB (at some point, I keep missing it if you know what I mean) is mostly due to my gender but its also cause of some other stuff

 

[ZoloftSüchtig]

I'm straight. Used to think I might be bi but no I'm definitely into guys

 

[rosenwasser]

I'm lesbian (+ cis). It used to contribute to my suicidal ideation as a teen because I grew up in a very homophobic environment. But that's over now and I actually like my sexuality. My current issues and pain have nothing to do with it anymore.

 

[passivethought121]

Transhet man. Gender identity definitely factors into my desire to CTB. I'd rather be cis, because then I don't have to internally and externally suffer so often. I wouldn't have to deal with people disrespecting me because they think I'm just stupid. I wouldn't have to deal with family members pretending I never came out and talking to me as if I was a straight woman. I wouldn't have to deal with barriers to getting HRT. Romance is out the door for where I live. It's not that I hate being trans, but there's been 0 benefits in my life due to it.

 

[Minsu]

Omg so many trans ppl here who wanna ctb because of their gender :( I'm sending you hugs guys

[Tokugawa_Yoshinobu]

I think I'm straight but in reality I'm just confused. I was abused when I was younger and now I feel a disconnect between me and my sexual and romantic feelings. This causes me to be celibate and I'm okay with it for most part. I just know that I'm unable to bond with other people, that I'll never have a partner or have sex. I had no friends either since I was 10 and was rejected all my life so far so cbt seems like an exciting option mostly because of the rejection part and the former abuse.

 

[Borderline]

I'm straight.

 

[natthebrat]

All of the last three in the poll, I'm an asexual trans lesbian.

 

[ljknljnlkjn]

damn.. the fact that almost 50% are LGBT even though we make up around 10% of the population shows how fucked up the situation is

 

[Linalez]

Homosexual female
You should have separated lesbian and bi, would have been interesting for the results.
Homosexual male
Homosexual female
bisexual

 

[NeedAnEscape]

I'm bisexual! Definitely had a few weird & unpleasant experiences due to my sexuality, but I've seen a lot worse happen to others because of it. I just wish it wasn't such a barrier for people, even in the most modern countries there is still discrimination. Definitely the main reason why I still date men despite preferring women lol, it's just so much easier to appear straight.

I can relate... I've gotten so many stupid comments about my sexuality. It's easier to 'cover it up' with a heterosexual presenting relationship. No weird questions or assumptions. It's not what I would prefer to do, but it's easier.
