.... Saying "demisexual" is an easier way to get it across than "fuck off, please, I don't date anyone I haven't known for six months." Also, if demi is the *normal* way to form connections, then what the hell exactly are speed dating and bar culture?
Afaik it doesn't work like that. Most people will be able to j/o to random porn stars and stuff, my understanding is that demisexuals are basically asexual until they find the right person, which imo isn't usual at all
Thank you, honestly these kind of people bring bad looks to the trans community... Or the whole LGTB community for that matter.
Yes, I am trans and I believe there are only two genders. Though people can navigate between these two there is no such thing as heterodemiclusterfrickpandasexual.
Rant over!

Well that's true. But who are you to say that genderqueer people don't exist? Ou have no evidence. This is just like all the cis people who deny transsexuality despite having no basis
I mean, why label everything?
Even I don't like to label myself as transgirl, and refer to me as girl because honestly people do NOT need to know that I am trans. That is totally useless (unless romance is involved).
Rant was not over yet...
I had to let off some steam.
Phew!

Yeah, I think it's fine if you're just correcting someone's pronouns for you and just go hey I'm agender/genderqueer/non-binary
But if you constantly go on to everybody about how you're 'masculine agender neutrois' it's a bit :/. It's cool to have that as your identity but don't bother telling ppl they don't understand what it means
We don't need over complicated labels, and I wouldn't flip out if you misgendered me. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm female but I won't pound your head in if you say the wrong thing. For certain things, it's nice to have a label so you don't have to explain the whole thing.
I agree, most of these seem like preferences. Genderqueer makes a little more sense; not quite knowing which gender you are, sometimes because of weird feelings; liking your born gender but constantly fantasizing about being the opposite sex. Wondering which you actually want.

There are 63 genders people. 63. IF that does not tell you how unnecassary this is. Then I cannot tell you how wrong you are. Special snowflakes are a prblem.
Asexual here, so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I do agree that technically I don't have an orientation since I lack sexual attraction towards others. But when people ask my orientation i say ace. I dislike when people put these overly complicated labels on themselves that aren't really a thing. But I go along with them anyway because it's their life and if those labels make them happy who am I to tell them they're wrong.
Another ace here! Just to clarify, the only reason I think asexuals have tagged onto the LGBT movement is because we want visibility. No one knows what the fuck we are. And when I tell people I don't ever experience sexual attraction to ANYONE they think I'm lying, and I'm not even going to go into how hard it is to find someone who would want to date someone who's also sex-repulsed. However, I agree that I don't have it nearly as hard as someone who is gay or lesbian or trans, but it's not a label I use to be special. It's just kinda a tool we use to find other people like us and to help clarify who we are as human beings.
Yes, exactly putting a label on it has somehow made it easier to explain and it's easier to find others like us. Visibility would be great if it gets out there kids could see that it's alright to not feel sexual attraction towards anyone and they won't feel pressure to have sex even if they don't want to. That's the way I felt. It was kinda like my friends want to do this with their boyfriends I've been with mine for a long time I should want this but I don't maybe if I do it I'll want to do it more. And I never did and since I had no idea what ace was or that romantic attraction and physical were two different things I did physical stuff because it was expected. I was 19 before I figured out why I only wanted a physical relationship with one person out of the few that I had been with.
Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the variations thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality.
Hey, how's it going guys. To further explain everything that was said my longer label would be asexual heteroromantic. That just means although I lack sexual attraction to both sexes I still have a romantic attraction to men. So I'm straight in the romantic sense and meh in the sexual sense
I usually don't, I don't like it. They're complicated and hardly anyone knows them. When someone asks my orientation I usually explain that I don't have one I'm not sexually attracted to men or women then tell them that it's called asexuality. Then they'll automatically ask "so wait you wouldn't want to have a partner?" and I'll explain that I do like men I'm just not that interested in the sex part.
Was pleasantly surprised to see that everyone agreed with the post! Huzzah!
Well, I Might Not In 19 minutes because my personality goes whichever way the wind blows, but I agree right now.
I'M GAY MYSELF AND I DON'T GET THIS SHIT THAMK YOU A VALID OPINION ON TUMBLR IT'S ALMOST A MIRACLE
