Wait is this supposed to be a trans sub? TIL

[-] Lux 102 points 6 months ago

Not trans exclusive, just a lot of trans people here (including me)

[-] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 26 points 6 months ago

Huh, I didn't realize exclusive is an auto-antonym

I learned when I went back to college that autistic gay and trans people are just the people I get along best with

I'm also cis, just love the memes.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

Came for the memes, stayed for the inclusivity and positivity. Peace and love to all LGBTQIA+ memesters!

Lies, you wouldn't be here if you didn't have at least a fraction of The Gay

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 40 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's kind of funny in a way but in my life I've had at least 5 men confused by how I'm "not gay."

I don't fit any stereotype so I haven't the slightest idea what makes people think that. I even had one creep that would come into the store I worked at years ago and ask "have they converted you yet?" (Both the managers were gay.)

I've quite literally never received any attention like that from women in my life.... I wish I was gay! I'd apparently have a much easier time instead of being single for the last almost decade now lol

I understand the whole "I can't simply change who I am" but from the opposite end. I'm cis and straight, there's nothing I can "change" to no be grossed out by the idea of sleeping with another man lol I even tried watching gay porn when I was 19-20ish just to see and yeah... Nope. Not my jam, which is kinda funny since I love asses, just not man ass lol

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

"have they converted you yet?"

"Do y'all still get toaster ovens for a conversation or have they updated to air fryers these days" is probably the only response I'd give.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 10 points 6 months ago

I wish I didn't have stupid social anxiety so I could actually think during conversations, I'd love to be able to have those kinds of quips lol

This is gonna sound like a #humblebrag but same. I've had drunken gay dudes thank me for existing because they found me that attractive. I know a decent amount of women find me attractive but it's nowhere near the same degree.

My wife is highly amused by it, but it's like damn, I'd be absolutely killing it if I was at all into dudes.

I'm bi or pan or something along those lines and I don't fit stereotypes either. When I came out to people at 17, the usual reaction was disbelief then followed up by questioning (being asked how did I know?) basically people were asking how sexually active I was. So now I wear pride bracelets or necklaces to show people I am out and proud.

[-] MalachaiConstant@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

I even tried watching gay porn when I was 19-20ish just to see and yeah... Nope.

Yeah I did the same thing at that age and was absolutely transfixed. Felt weird about it though, so I didn't try again for a while.

Of course it's obvious in hindsight lmao

Can confirm: just got my results back and it turns out I have something like 20-30% The Gay. This sub knew before I did!

I'm also cis but the memes are great

[-] pixeltree 34 points 6 months ago

Don't gotta be non-cis to enjoy this place! It's just a great positive space

[-] skylestia 33 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

i am too, memes are good, vibes are friendly, people are nice, happy to be here

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

I be a cis ally mining memes for the good fight

[-] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 27 points 6 months ago

I did not know this was a trans space, tbh. Thank you for entertaining us cishets!

[-] Silentiea@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago

The blahaj is ours now, we dibs'd it. Get your own shark. (You can play with ours too but you have to be nice.)

That's what a queer in a closet would say

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I'm furry in a way that's similar to trans, but it has nothing to do with my gender, though there is a lot of relatable overlaps concerning inward identity vs outward appearance.
