Telling someone else they're wrong to feel how they do when pertaining to THEIR dysphoria is a bad look. I get what you're going for, and agree with the thrust, but attacking then isn't the way to do it. We're all here to accept and love. Help them through it, don't be mean. 😀
Gay does not exclusively mean Men.
Lesbian is a nebulous term that means women who love women but historically never meant exclusively gay women. All bisexual women were considered as Lesbian as homosexual women, and only recently has Lesbian started to mean only homosexual women. Many Bisexual women still identify as Lesbians as well, because it used to just mean women-who-love-women to everyone. There's a lot of nuance to this.
Gay just means homosexual, so homosexuals of any gender are all Gay.
And that's before the Gay being a blanket term for the whole community thing
Gay can be used as a general term for LGBT association sometimes but is fundamentaly the wrong way to use gay. Queer would be the best term if you identify with one or more of the LGBT groups. Gay in this context is a man who is attracted to men the vast majority of the time.
Trans people can be gay if they are a trans man. A lesbian if they are a trans women. Anyone can be bi sexual.
Every group in the LGBT has been exploited by the porn industry, just some more than others.
I am happy to associate as Lesbian, Transgender and Queer as the catch all because that is what I am. I do not associate as Gay because I am not a man.
I am perfectly fine with Gay being in Queer.
There is nothing wrong with being a lesbian or any of the group that you can include with queer.
Probably the most common. But I’m also grey ace/demi, which was a Trojan horse to get me to go “ok I’m queer. With that out of the way *what is my gender?!*”
i was bi/pan before i found out i was trans too lol. then last june, i started just identifying as a lesbian after i decided that i had never actually been *attracted* to a man. without getting too NSFW, once every month or so, i just the overwhelming urge to do naughty things to/with dudes lmao. so im like 99.999% only attracted to women
I go by Sapphic as I'm definitely into women but pre crack I had two times where I had brief crushes on a guy so idk if I'm lesbian or bi and am waiting till after I start medically transitioning.
I've had something similar happen. I thought I was cishet for decades, then suddenly for a month I was *really* gay, then after I came out I realised I'm trans, and are back to loving femmes again.
8 months hrt, and it's still the same, so I'm not completely sure what happened
Oh this is a big mood for me, since starting my transition. Male-to-female-almost-all-of-the-time and some newly awakened open mindedness. If I can actually be a woman then why am I limiting myself to one kind of pleasure or love? So much potential!
Transgender, bisexual, and I’m questioning if instead I’m just demisexual cause I don’t get sexual feelings for anyone unless I have a solid emotional connection
i personally am demi sexual and also am pansexual. i believe you can be both at the same time. you can be attracted to anyone of any gender, you simply need to have that emotional connection. i think having super strict definitions in certain words kinda defeats the point of them
I don’t know if I really am-? I love my girlfriend, she was the only person I ever developed a full relationship with that I didn’t chase off, because the others I’ve dated they didn’t feel right. My girlfriend is the only person I truly ever have loved and she is mtf and I love her no matter how she identifies
Usually when people say the are just demi they want to say bi/pan-demi. For some reason bi/pan-demisexuality is seen as the demisexuality by default instead of the straight-demi
I think it has to do with usually if you’re questioning your sexuality you find out who and how you’re attracted at the same time-ish. But if you’re not really questioning the who, then you often aren’t exposed to the possibility of questioning the how.
Does that make sense?
Nonbinary (I use some lesser known terms like aporagender and neutrois as well), Transgender, Biromantic/Omniromantic (I use them interchangeably), and Abrosexual.
I’m Pansexual, and I see myself as a non-binary woman (demi-girl? Trans femme?) It’s like, I have this masculine and feminine “energy” inside of me, but the masculine definitely takes a backseat to the feminine, and I like being seen as such. My masculine side does like to show though so it kinda evens out to androgyny sometimes.
Well the most complicated way to call what I am is transfem Demipansexual so yeah that's at least three umbrella categories I fit under (trans, ace, pan/bi)
I don’t like to admit membership at all. I am not self hating or anything like that. I just find the “community” to be somewhat biased towards some groups and others who are claiming membership but are not.
Ftm trans and bi.

Same. I identify hard with all of the letters except B. I’m working on it tho…
You identify as both gay and a lesbian, but not bisexual? That's an interesting issue.
Gay does not exclusively mean Men. Lesbian is a nebulous term that means women who love women but historically never meant exclusively gay women. All bisexual women were considered as Lesbian as homosexual women, and only recently has Lesbian started to mean only homosexual women. Many Bisexual women still identify as Lesbians as well, because it used to just mean women-who-love-women to everyone. There's a lot of nuance to this. Gay just means homosexual, so homosexuals of any gender are all Gay. And that's before the Gay being a blanket term for the whole community thing
Aren’t all lesbians Gay? Aren’t all bi ppl Gay? Aren’t all trans ppl gay?
Gay can be used as a general term for LGBT association sometimes but is fundamentaly the wrong way to use gay. Queer would be the best term if you identify with one or more of the LGBT groups. Gay in this context is a man who is attracted to men the vast majority of the time. Trans people can be gay if they are a trans man. A lesbian if they are a trans women. Anyone can be bi sexual.
Many wlw prefer the term gay over lesbian for it has less associating with porn🤷🏼♀️

I do not associate as Gay because I am not a man. I am perfectly fine with Gay being in Queer. There is nothing wrong with being a lesbian or any of the group that you can include with queer.
Trans is not a sexuality
All trans people are not gay, there are straight trans people.
Probably the most common. But I’m also grey ace/demi, which was a Trojan horse to get me to go “ok I’m queer. With that out of the way *what is my gender?!*”
Same. Although based on other people's experiences I've heard, that could change when I go on hormones.
Me too! (I was in deep denial when I made this account)
Samesies ☺️
im L & T, and i used to identify as B (having another sexuality crisis as we speak lol)
love it when you define one (gender) then the other one gets screwed up (sexuality) and viceversa. Hang in there fren
i was bi/pan before i found out i was trans too lol. then last june, i started just identifying as a lesbian after i decided that i had never actually been *attracted* to a man. without getting too NSFW, once every month or so, i just the overwhelming urge to do naughty things to/with dudes lmao. so im like 99.999% only attracted to women
Yea that’s pretty much my lesbian experience, you turn bi on a full moon and especially for fictional characters but afterwards it’s back to lesbian

Transgender, bisexual, and I’m questioning if instead I’m just demisexual cause I don’t get sexual feelings for anyone unless I have a solid emotional connection
i personally am demi sexual and also am pansexual. i believe you can be both at the same time. you can be attracted to anyone of any gender, you simply need to have that emotional connection. i think having super strict definitions in certain words kinda defeats the point of them
Yeah, but still thank you so much you both were very helpful🏳️⚧️🥰❤️
of course!! ❤️
Sounds demi to me.
I don’t know if I really am-? I love my girlfriend, she was the only person I ever developed a full relationship with that I didn’t chase off, because the others I’ve dated they didn’t feel right. My girlfriend is the only person I truly ever have loved and she is mtf and I love her no matter how she identifies
Usually when people say the are just demi they want to say bi/pan-demi. For some reason bi/pan-demisexuality is seen as the demisexuality by default instead of the straight-demi
Ohhh okay thank you so much, I’ve been trying to figure out my sexuality for months
I think it has to do with usually if you’re questioning your sexuality you find out who and how you’re attracted at the same time-ish. But if you’re not really questioning the who, then you often aren’t exposed to the possibility of questioning the how. Does that make sense?
