How many LGBTQ+ are here?

[maybeimalreadydead]

Any of you LGBT? Out or not? Is it a part of a reason you are here or no? For me, likely. I feel very much I'm limited in being who I truly am.

 

[Eren]

Not exactly, but my sexual orientation is "special" I feel attracted to cis women, but I cannot feel sexual desire towards cis women, but I do towards trans women.

I explained it in a thread a while ago, and it is not a fetish, I would simply like to have a partner and this prevents me from having it, it is one of my main reasons for CTB although not the only one.

 

[NeCkDeEp]

Here's your lesbian aunt. It's not one of the reasons why I want to ctb

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

According to survey there are 11 percent of trans people here and based on that and posts I have seen here I guess about the same amount of gay people. So you can say it's roughly 20% at least which is not surprising actually. LGBT individuals tend to have higher suicide rates.

 

[UninformedLover]

Awkward Lesbian here checking in lmao. I haven't told my parents but they suspect I am one. I just deny it everytime. I don't know why it's not really a big deal to them I just don't want them to know. My sexual orientation isn't the reason why I want to ctb though.

 

[StillWaiting]

I love girls but to be honest I am fine with any gender as long as I like the personality of the person I guess.
But it doesn't matter since I am never going to be in any relationship. Therefore it is not the reason making me wanting to ctb

 

[Xena87]

Transwoman. Hi

 

[mathieu]

I'm a gay dude. It's a small part of the reason I want to die. Mostly other things, though.

 

[NoFOMO]

Gay. Out to certain people. To others I just keep quiet as it's none of their business.
It's a pretty significant part of why I want to CTB. It's been a curse my entire life. I mean it. My two older brothers would tell my mom that they'd kill me if it turns out I'm a "maricon", "fag", but in Spanish. Nasty, nasty word in Spanish.
How's a 7 year old supposed to react to that?
I was physically, mentally abused growing up and that continued in school.
I won the hit-every-branch-in-the-ugly-tree lottery too. Life has just been great (screams internally).

 

[silentvoice]

Trans here. It's a big reason why I'm here unfortunately.

 

[ninthhokage]

Transgender. Yes, it is part of the reason I am here.

 

[YukiFox]

Trans woman pre-HRT here. Despite the common perception, my gender dysphoria isn't the main reason for why I'm here. In fact, keep planning my social and hormonal transition makes me hopefully.

 

[Taki]

Transgender. Yes, it is part of the reason I am here.

I hope things turn around for you.
Gay man. It's not a reason as in "I intend to kill myself because I'm gay," but the stress of many experiences has played into my overall sense of failure, most of which have then led to real failures and problems. I sometimes wonder if I'd be less alone, isolated and depressed if I'd been straight, and the research on gay men says that's probably true. At this point, I can't point to one single for wanting to die. But there is a good reason why it needs to happen.

 

[Weakling666]

Gay guy here, I'm okay with my sexuality, but if i could be reborn as straight that'd be great.

 

[mediocre]

I'm gay but I've kept it to myself all my life. Never "came out" to anyone though I think several members of my family know but are too afraid to broach the subject. I find it so awkward to talk about even on here. Don't know why. It's not a reason I want to cbt though I have bigger issues.

 

[dieornottodie]

i am part of it. but tbh i struggle with humans in general, not really the community

 

[VIBRITANNIA]

i'm a lesbian. i guess realizing that most of my family wouldn't "love" me anymore if i came out has something to do with my desire to ctb. just goes to show you that some people will not "love" you unconditionally.

 

[LetsGosam]

I'm a gay man

 

[Leech]

I'm asexual, but I don't feel like asexuals are really accepted in to the LGBTQA+ community. Even tho the A literally stands for asexual, we're pretty ostracized.

How sad I'm sorry. If I love someone I do it unconditionally, I don't know why sexual orientation can influence it.

The world doesn't have a good understanding of what asexual is. As more people speak up about what it means to them it is becoming better understood.

 

[Sinai Silence]

Bi and want to die

 

[Homecoming]

I'm an incognito (closet) gay in a dumb ancient religious country where torturing and killing other people is the norm

That's so scary. Living that way can't be easy.

I'm so unfortunate to born in Middle East

 

[draw a circle]

I'm the bi in bitch (lol). I used to think I'm aromantic or demiromantic (so tumblr, I know) but maybe it's just my commitment issues. I'm trying out this thing of using they/them and being non gender conforming online, like in here, but this is still in the exploration phase. I like it though.

 

[Caspers]

Aromatic asexual through and through. Gender is really confusing for me, am I agender, gender fluid or just confused? Not out though, my mum thinks because I've had romantic relationships in my teens I can't be

 

[onlyeverexisting]

Bi, but people usually assume i'm straight. which confuses me. like. my nails are so short and I wear thumb rings??

Maybe my jeans aren't cuffed high enough?

 

[ravergirl]

I'm pansexual. Also, hypersexual as as symptom of BPD. Been picked on all my life both for my sexual preference and for my desire for casual, unattached/unemotional sex. I've never felt like I belong in this world, and sexuality is a big part of that.

The opposite with me. I came out to my somewhat openly gay friend in college and turns out he and his group of friends all thought I wasn't straight. My student study service group all thought I was gay after I introduced my (fake) lover and not use the word that indicated my lover's gender (like using "lover" instead of "boy/girlfriend"). Like why is that even a thing lmao
