An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

>"Well, you're obviously not sensitive at all"
I no longer feel anything, actually.
>"The question in the title is enough, people don't need a list of options to describe their sexuality"
But... The whole point of creating a poll is that users can just vote instead of commenting, yet adding unnecessary options makes the results invalid.
Really only the first 4 options make sense (+ Other), since both cis and trans people can belong to either of those buckets. And asexual people can still experience romantic attraction to people of certain genders, just their desire for sex works differently.
Little secret NO ONE knows: the first person I kissed was male. I was 13, he was 12, a nephew of a neighbor who stayed with them every summer. So one day when we played hide and seek and I found him in the bushes, we remained in the bushes for a while longer.
Otherwise I'm straight, I think...

I like FUTILE fall under the too ugly for it to matter. My own self loathing doesn't help either as it makes me shy away from human contact. I'd only fuck up someone's life if I was to get involved with them.
I pissed somebody off (I'm guessing you as well) about the trans options, but I'm genuinely curious about why pansexual shouldn't be on here. Are we now pretending most people recognize no distinction sexually between cis and trans?
Did the ephemeral romance of your rosy years forever taint by unfair comparison the visceral world of adult relationships? Is there more to the comedian?

Ha, I've never been in an adult relationship and women don't want me since I am a lonely uneducated NEET. But yes, I wasn't this dead inside as a child. Couldn't really form lasting relationships but I could spend time with others, have fun, etc. Not much more to me, I'm afraid, I wouldn't even be here if I had a shotgun--partial hurts like hell and I haven't gotten anywhere close to passing out.

I feel very bad at the moment now that I don't live under the illusion of being able to use partial or carotid slashing. My current method is a bridge with around 90% lethality, instant death only if lucky with the landing I reckon. HAHAHAHA FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK ME.
...what? No one should. Why would someone's medical condition matter...?* Unless it's either a fetish or a phobia... Then all philias and phobias should be separate sexual/romantic orientations (which would be absurd). *(in regard to attraction and its classification, not personal preferences)
A recent study attempts to quantify the extent of trans discrimination when it comes to romantic and sexual relationships.
www.google.com
"Virtually all heterosexuals excluded trans folks from their dating pool: only 1.8% of straight women and 3.3% of straight men chose a trans person of either binary gender. But most non-heterosexuals weren't down for dating a trans person either, with only 11.5% of gay men and 29% of lesbians being trans-inclusive in their dating preferences. Bisexual/queer/nonbinary participants (these were all combined into one group) were most open to having a trans partner, but even among them, almost half (48%) did not select either 'trans man' or 'trans woman.'"
Maybe you think it's unfair, but being trans is very, very relevant to most people.
@Celerity
Re-read my last paragraph. Most would also not date physically unattractive, disabled or unemployed individuals. Or those who are far younger or older than them.
Sexual/romantic orientation predetermines what phenotype someone is attracted (or not attracted) to, not how or in what way. Otherwise, as I have mentioned, all philias, phobias and personal preferences (such as only choosing athletic or blue-eyed partners) would be orientations.
Just came here to say that this is op's thread and poll so they can add/omit what they want, plus their aim is not offense but discussion/information, I think. Also, I personally find the distinction important.

But... It matches post-surgery (that's the whole point). What about other similar medical conditions? Should they be separated too? What about age, attractiveness, height, fertility or other physical preferences? Furthermore...
>"...is not a philia."
Certainly; it is either a rather odd personal preference or a phobia. The opposite would be a philia (only choosing those with modified/corrected or mismatched sexual characteristics).
So have I, very traumatic honestly. Especially when I didn't even have the normal excuses for why such a mistake would be made (hair length, androgynous clothing, etc).
...what about cis individuals who lost their inborn primary sexual characteristics and had to have them reconstructed? What about those who were born with a matching karyotype, neurological and (later developed) secondary sexual characteristics but mismatched primary ones? What about those who were born with mixed primary sexual characteristics, had the correct set removed before they were old enough to give consent and then had to change everything? Are they all "fake" too?
Furthermore, being attracted to inborn, modified/corrected or synthetic organs is a personal preference, not a type of attraction. If a male is attracted to females but not those (regardless of whether they are cis or not) with modified breasts, he is still heterosexual/-romantic.
I probably wouldn't be interested in them either, and I imagine mine would be a common sentiment. Those are also extreme cases too - far from the norm.
