"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

EDIT: added a keep reading cause this is a long post lol

EDIT: everyone in the comments needs to shut up or I will turn comments off, stop arguing, jeez

Great news: I beat up an acephobe today and threw him in the gutter afterwards.

Bad news: I got fined for littering.

Are LGBTQ labels confusing? Do you ever see a collection of words and think "aren't some of those antithetical or mutually exclusive?" Congratulations! You've run into a very interesting phenomenon that I'm about to break down to the best of my ability.

There's two major philosophies when it comes to labels, they don't have names to my knowledge so I'm gonna call them Reflective and Telegraph.

The Telegraph Label philosophy states that labels primarily function as a means of conveying useful information about one's self to others. It's telling others what pronouns, what parts and what genders that person has or is attracted to. This is usually pretty straightforward, the stuff someone interested in dating you would check before asking you out to avoid embarrassment.

The Reflective Label philosophy states that labels are primarily a tool for describing an internal experience. Putting words to feelings for the benefit of the self. This is how we get lables like stargender or autismgender. These aren't meaningfully useful labels that tell others what to expect physically or what pronouns to use. But that doesn’t mean they're useless. In the case of someone using autismgender, that label probably describes the internal experience of the ways a person's autism impacts their views on and performance of gender. Stargender likely explains not that they literally see themselves as a star but rather that their internal experience of their prefered gender performance makes them feel a way that reminds them of stars or stargazing.

And this applies to sexuality too. Boy lesbian might seem antithetical but ultimately that label isn't there to tell others anything. It's merely a comfort to have words to describe a mess of feelings and social dynamics.

And for clarification, anyone calling themselves a boy-lesbian probably isn't the cis male boogieman forcing lesbians who aren't interested in cis men to date them or else be labeled a bigot. That boogieman doesn't exist. A more likely explanation is that a nonbinary or trans person has a complex relationship with their changing gender that doesn't trigger a change in the way they see themselves in relationships and attraction thus causing them to keep or adopt the lesbian label despite the gender weirdness going on.

I see a lot of infighting about what people call themselves and whether or not certain combinations can even physically exist. And Y'know what? I don't think that's terribly productive. Neither philosophy is wrong. People are just using labels to address different root problems.

As aggravating as it might be for Telegraphers, you don't have to understand everything. Not everyone feels that they owe you the list of information you find useful, and their labels reflect that. And that's okay.

Nina Dutchdress from the Netherlands: I started my crossdresser journey in 2023 when I finally decided to be myself. Cross-dressing for me is the feeling of being free and being myself, I love to feel feminine and how the fabrics feel. I buy all my clothes from Cider and Asos.

It is apparently Asexual Day!

These goobers can fit so much self projection-

(cut is just a doodle of my little character being a me stand in)

[dayangaytransman]

Pride events (and also the whole plot) in Queer movies are like:

No pets

No POC

No trans

No Bi

No Ace

No Polyamorus

No children

No straight looking guy

No Ally

No Enby

Only Cis Lesbian and Gays

Are you telling me those gays can’t have a fucking friend who is queer in another way?!

And also, most trans people are lesbians and gays.

We need the entire community represented in movies.

Asexual people don’t owe you modesty

Aromantic people don’t owe you proof

Non-binary people don’t owe you androgyny

Unlabelled people don’t owe you a label

Trans people don’t have to present as their gender

Bi/Pan/Omni people don’t have to have had dated or slept with an equal amount of genders

QUEER PEOPLE DON’T OWE YOU ANYTHING! ✨💅

Comment any I missed, I plan to do genders like Demi-gender, agender or gender-fluid + sexualities like gay and lesbian. 🌈🫶🏻

Can we talk about THIS SCENE

specifically in Detroit: Evolution

Nines explaining ""what it would take for him to 'feel something'" makes me so happy.

I'm asexual (and demi-aro), and this made me feel so seen and understood!

I saw someone point out that Nines saying "it's against his programming" can be interpreted as how it isn't a choice and it's who you are and that's just really a neat way to do it. I guess the whole "Against an Androids programming" is a little cliche, but im not complaining, cause it works.

The way Nines explains that looks don't factor in at first and would want to connect on a more emotional level first, again, this spoke to me. I've never really been "attracted" to people - if anything itd be more of an aesthetic attraction - so hearing that he'd not look at someone like that until later in the relationship, just felt so validating for how I felt - especially cause when I first watched this I was still trying to find ways to "work out how I felt/what I am".

I just- rarara

This scene makes me so happy and it's so cute and I hope this made sense cause I hold it in my little hands and cry about it in a way that's tricky to out into words
