As a cis person who was raised conservative, I had a breakthrough the day I realized that it was weird and creepy of me to think I was entitled to know the genitalia of people who were not interested in sexual contact with me. That I'm no more entitled to know what's in a stranger's pants than I am to know if someone is circumcised or the exact shape and size of their genitalia.

[@claritey]

Yes! That is weird. It also doesn't make any sense for conservatives to want trans people in the bathroom that corresponds to their genitalia. Require that and you'd end up with very masculine trans men in the ladies room and feminine trans women in the men's room where they will look completely out of place and have to explain to everyone what's in their pants to "prove" they belong there and aren't in the "wrong" bathroom. Why would they want anyone to have to do that? That's WEIRD. And how would they enforce that system anyway? Hire some genital police to check? Not only is that WEIRD its a huge invasion of privacy. NO ONE should be asking, have to show or explain what genitalia they have to belong in a certain bathroom. I for one have never once seen another person's genitalia in the ladies room and don't want to know. I'm just there to pee, they are too. Stop making it WEIRD.

I constantly tell transphobes that the definition of sex is different in evolutionary biology and in human medicine, and even explain to them that in human medicine sex is usually defined as the collection of different sex attributes, which makes it bimodal and not binary, yet the transphobes seem to tend to lack basic listening and googling skills to verify what I am saying for themselves.

i LITERALLY just had a conversation YESTERDAY with another bisexual about how just because we (both cis women as far as i know) happen to be dating a man, it doesnt make us less/not bisexual???? like bro that's absurd do you hear yourselves saying that, that's like telling someone eating a turkey sandwich that they don't like ham sandwiches anymore because they're not eating them AT THE SAME TIME ??

[@auggiet8380]

That, and they like to point out that most of us bi/pansexuals end up in hetero relationships, while completely ignoring not only the statistics of LGBTQIA+ populations vs hetero, but also the rampant biphobia within said LGBTQIA+ populations that often keep us from being able to date within our same sex. We’d have to be poly (and dating other bisexuals who “get it”, tbh) to be “valid” in their eyes, and then the goalpost would just move again. Plus, if you’re a bisexual male, you’re “secretly gay”, while if you’re a bisexual female, you’re “secretly straight”, and if you’re nonbinary, it’s all just for attention. SID: Nonbinary bisexual.

I knew a guy who dated men and women but would call himself gay or straight depending on the gender of the person he was dating at the time.

When in my late teens/early 20s (at uni) my Mum would talk about how I should have a kid just so she could raise it and couldn't grasp how fucking weird that was. And I again said I'm not interested in kids. And I'm now in my mid 30s (soon to be late 30s eek lol, where did the time go?) and I still do not want kids. And my Mum finally said that she has come to terms with never getting grandkids. As if my brother doesn't exist. And couldn't father kids.... One of the reasons I've never broached the topic of sexuality and gender with her. If she can't handle the concept of not everyone wanting kids, I don't need her to question my judgement on who I find sexually attractive and what I consider my gender to be (or more accurately not be).

I actually had an encounter last night where a woman asked if I had a wife because of my rainbow keyring. I was like "No, I'm Ace, I just wear this to show support." And then we got into a 20-minute conversation or what is Ace, how I knew I was Ace, am I not lonely or "frustrated", etc. I'm pretty sure she had never had anybody really talk to her about this before because she had a Pikachu face on the whole time. Also, I think I got unsubscribed from the Ace newsletter because I don't remember hearing about invading Denmark.

[@TiBunCosplay]

Back when I first started learning about queer identities and thought I was just an ally (egg not yet cracked), I thought the A was for ally. Never heard anyone talking about aspec identities. So I claimed the A..... after much self-searching and after finally coming across the term asexual for the first time...well, I hadn't been wrong in claiming the A. I feel like a lot of the "the A is for allies!" stem from the fact that until very recently no one was talking about aspec people at all. so many people didn't know they are a thing, and no one was explaining what the A stood for, letting people assume it was for ally. I, an ace myself, thought for a long time after discovering that I was queer I was a broken bi. Would have saved me a lot of grief if there had been more Ace rep and talk floating around the online LGBTQIA spaces back then.

I don't call myself that because I don't interact with others enough to know my romantic preferences, if I have any, but I'm sure that, by my age, I'd know what I'm sexually attracted to, since that only requires seeing a person's physical appearance.

That ad was _weird._ I’m NB, I’m in no rush to physically change myself, but it’s a potential option if I ever make that decision. These ads weird me out. Can you explain why these ads are so weird?

Basic biology= 2 sexes ATAR biology (year 11 and 12)= It's a spectrum. Also gender doesn't equal sex. I love my science teachers!

Genuine question, what does atar mean?

[@UmongusSussehFrusseh]

Basic Biology: 2 sexes, 2 genders, sex = gender.

[@argonanarchy3882]

@_StarlightRose_ ATAR is an Australian stream of education that basically aims to prepare students for university. It's offered to students in grades 11 and 12. It's just a higher level of education specifically for students who want to get into university. There is a specific score that you get, comparing you to every other ATAR student in the country. Most universities have a specific score to accept prospective students. There are other pathways but they take more time.
