Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

(*LGBTQ+ Solidarity huggles*)

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

You go to a person to interact with a person. Caring about their body makeup is weird and about their reproductive capabilities, creepy.

Presumably Cosmos' post on the last page, regarding how to refute any time someone metaphorically equates gender/sexuality to random other objects and feels like Einstein for it.

The only people who need to know your genetic/physical sex are providing you medical care or physical affection. Everyone else is just being rude if you don't want to share.

I’m not sure where else to put this, but I don’t think I’m straight. At the very least, I’m not just attracted to girls. Is there a term for that?

I could swear there's a word like sapphic, but in the opposite direction...

I believe the equivalent to Sapphic, insofar as a flowery umbrella term for "attracted to the same gender" for MLM is Achillean.

Achillean is a bit like the green-blue "MLM" flag; highly contentious. A lot of gay and bi men do not feel that term or flag are necessary.

Anyway, the term you might be looking for would be questioning, heteroflexible or low-Kinsey bisexual.

I definitely prefer Achillean over any alternatives I've heard so far. It works as a counterpart to Sapphic.

Finally entered College and wow I did not expect them to be as inclusive as they were. I thought it was gonna be some ulta-conservative university due to its rather overtly Roman Catholic themes and values, but they're rather accepting of queer people, which I appreciate. Just formed my first friend group, and they're all queer themselves. ☺️

I have heard some people using "Achillean" but magnitudes fewer than "Sapphic".

I think it (and the MLM flag) are both potentially useful because people often use "gay" as more of an umbrella term nowadays. That said, such terms kind of require wider recognition to become truly useful.

I admitted to someone in a chat that I'm aro.

They said "you just haven't found the right person yet."

I blocked them.

[up]I can relate, I remember telling a message board that I'm ace, and an idiot said "No, you're not, it's just that no one wants to sleep with you."

In reality, I don't know if someone does or not, but I definitely only want to use my bed for sleeping.

[up] Ugh that kind of ignorance is the worst.

I'm bi, and have been accused of everything from "being indecisive" to "not wanting to fully come out as a lesbian". Uh, no. I'm attracted to men, just not exclusively.

Kindness is the most important thing in the world, and also the rarest.

Unfortunately it's part of the queer experience, and all we can really do is just ignore the strangers and re-evaluate our relationships with those we care about when they do stuff like this.

Had an uncomfortable experience buying a suit for my grandma's funeral today. Mom wants to be an ally to me, but I don't think she really understands how dysphoric the situation made me.
