A single unified LGBTQ+ conversation

I've been streaming for 2 years and no one watches.

I feel like fucking destroying my laptop.

I don't want to fucking do streaming for money. I just want to fucking have fun but I fucking can't anymore.

TBH, all the people who watch my streams right now are people I know from around the internet, half of whom also stream.

I really think it's a matter of networking, patience and getting a super lucky streak.

For 2 years, constant posting and I get no one 90 percent of the time?

I don't know if im doing something wrong.

Because I'm doing the right things and nothing works. There are people who barely stream with no followers and people watch them.

What the fuck am I doing wrong?

I wish I could stream. I don't care if anyone watches, though. I seriously doubt anyone wants to see me play Animal Crossing or Story of Seasons, especially since I probably wouldn't use a microphone.

Turns out I'm bisexual. Like on the gay side of bi cause men sexy but still. Might've had two separate dreams about macking on two separate female friends. One of whom I have no chance with cause she lives in Croatia.

Also my boyfriend turned out to be an absolute creep so I took his bong and then I dumped him.

And that's what's currently going on in the life of TC.

-hugs Trash-

Glad that you're figured out your sexualality.

But your boyfriend sounds like an asshole so good on you for leaving

He was and I should've seen the red flags but alas.

But the final straw that made me realise I was bisexual, if I were absolutely honest, was Ruth Negga. Who's even less obtainable

for taking the bastard ex's bong

And welcome to the bi club

Nice, when I can expect my membership card to arrive?

-gives you bisexual membership card-

Welcome to the fold.

I was listening to a Streamer while I worked today, Otzdarva, and he brought up a video by someone he knows, OhTofu, that gives tips for new streamers. You're not exactly new, since you said 2 years earlier, but the advice given (choice of game, ways to provide content, keeping active even if no one's watching) all seem like advice that would also be good for a small channel looking to grow.

Here's the video if you want to give it a watch. It's just over 16 minutes long.

I did those. Constant livestreams, social media, talking all the time.

Nothing. Like...

I should give up. I should fucking give up on this fucking shit.

I has a question for all you Trans peeps. Is it usual to be, like, asking to be referred to as she/her on chatrooms, asking questions on Trans subreddits, going around doing research on how to transition and how to feminize your voice, knowing that you've been questioning your gender for years, etc etc... and yet is still not willing or able to think of oneself as Trans or even a woman? (Or man, as the case may be; I'm AMAB so that's how I wrote the post :V)

It's not unusual. It's typically what comes to mind when someone uses the term "egg".

I mean that's how I worked out I was nonbinary. Like, my dysphoria wants to look like a man, sound like a man, be hairy like man, all that, and that's why I'm on T and all that, but yet, despite my physical dysphoria and the like, it's really hard to think of myself as full dude.

Also not to double post but I want to apologize for some of the things I said on this thread when I was young dumb and insecure.

I acted really truscum-y and I made fun of people's neo-pronouns and I know it's no excuse but I was in a really bad place so to anyone who remembers that. I'm sorry. I really am.

I love you guys.

We all say dumb things as kids. Especially when certain websites let people prejudiced against certain groups worm their views into progressive circles.

Fun Fact: I started off identifying with being nonbinary, but ironically someone assuming nonbinary = AFAB and trying to "misgender" me (which I, again ironically, didn't even notice at the time) made me realise I fall right on the binary woman end of the spectrum.

Meanwhile I made the mistake of trawling through Aliexpress for a full-chest breast form setup.

Stupid sizes not accounting for material stretch.

Figured I’d post this here. A new X-Men comic got announced today (X-Factor by Leah Williams and David Baldeón), and aside from featuring a gay character and two bi characters, and being written by a bi author... Williams also confirmed that the series would feature the first ever transgender character in X-Men comics.

It’s been a long time coming, and I’m still annoyed it took until 2020 to happen, but at least it’s finally happening.

Oh shit, nice! Might need to read that, since the last comic I read was hilariously homophobic.

Let's hope the trans character is well written cause sometimes cis people just don't get it.

Hopefully; cis writers can do their homework and write a good trans character.

it's probably bad of me to think that bi's pothole was going to be something along the lines of "wishful thinking"

I mean it's not like I necessarily hate well meaning cis writers. I mean, I'm still not over seeing Dylan Moran live and hearing make what was a essentially a "gender is fake" joke.

Now that it's been done, the bar's been raised and cis writers who can't do it have no excuse.
