#me when the guy who's chill around queer people isn't homophobic :(

[shiningstarlight101]

Doc has been posting on Twitter about homophobic reactions he's gotten because ue's openly supportive. And I just am baffled at why you'd watch Hermitcraft while being homophobic.

Both Gem and Cleo are openly queer, and the partners of Joe and Joel are also queer. Not to mention how much of the community is queer themselves, or how a lot of Hermitcraft members also play in the life series which also has queer people in it! This is such an accepting space for the community, how can you genuinely expect a hermit to share your bigoted world views. Make it make sense 😭

Your genderfluid, right? Have you ever been attacked by a transphobe? Or is Portugal chill?

Yes, I am! Your friendly neighborhood genderfluid entity!

And nop

Mainly because I don't look trans. I look like a generic lesbian. If you search for the word "lesbian" in the dictionary you will have a picture of me, my flannel shirts and my dirty all-stars

With that being said, it's not that I don't want to look trans: I do. Very badly. You have no idea how badly my dysmorphia hits me when I'm in full masc mode. But my chest doesn't allow me to pass as a guy

Soon I'll have a breast reduction surgery - no, I aint taking the tits totally off. I'm genderfluid, I need them for fluidity reasons - and I'll be able to walk around without a fucking bra and wear an open shirt with nothing else under it, barely covering beforehand mentioned small tits, like my genderfluid ass deserves!

Until then, I cannot escape the "Hello miss!" cage

Don't get me wrong: the "Hello Miss" feels nice sometimes. When I feel fem. I'm totally fine with it. But when I'm masc? Boy, oh boy

My objective in life is to make all the straights and gays confused

"Is that a really short dude, or is that a lesbian?"

For now, I'm just a lesbian. One day I shall also be a really short dude

Answering the second part of the ask:

It depends.

In small areas, people will judge. Some judge me cause I look gay. Usually the ones that know me personally don't. Some of them even say I look better now, but alas. Those are people with which I grew up.

In big cities, some people will stare, some won't give a shit

Currently we are having a political shift in the country and stuff is getting hard for minorities, queer folk included. We got 50 fascists in the parliament because, in a universe of 10 million people, more than 1 million voted for them. There's, at least, more than 1 million homophobes, transphobes, racists, etc etc in the country and you don't know who they might be. You might be safe, you might be not. Before they were hidding, but now they have a leader and power. They are not ashamed to show their colors anymore, so you truly never know if you are safe if you look too queer.

I have a friend - she's trans, not genderfluid like me - and she has been attacked before. Mainly when she was still in the process of transitioning and was still not passing as a woman. I haven't talked to her in a while, but I believe now everything is chill cause no one new in her life knows she is trans. She just doesn't tell anyone because she got scared and I understand why. But that's sad, isn't it?

So, yeah. We are kinda chiil. We are kinda not.

The max that ever happened to me was having a homophobic slur thrown my way. And 5 years of my father forcing me to pretend I was straight even tho I had already came out to everyone.

Better safe than sorry, I would say

I am just sick of the environment around me where I am never allowed to be what I want to be and it's sickening in a desi household or just not my home but this society and at most places in my country.

I was never allowed to make male friends, I have never been in a relationship with anyone either. Relationship as in where I could talk about it to my parents and friends and the person whom I think I am in a relationship with.

Most of my life growing up I have been surrounded with girls and I think I have always liked girls and it has always been harder for me to approach girls than boys to talk because I am heaven and high level of concious around girls. Where I just want...

I want female validation to feel good. Seriously.

But at the same time I can never tell anyone close to me or immediately that 'yeah I like girls' 'I am bisexual' 'no I— I support LGBTQ, I am a part of it' 'I would marry a girl before a guy'

A lot of people around me have always made fun of queer community, girls flirting with girls but at the word lesbian or bi going 'eww'

But from last couple of years I am in Delhi and people are not that homophobic or I haven't met homophobic people where I used to study and everyone was chill about everything.

Now I am going out of Delhi in a not so developed area because yeah I got a med college. (Yay!) But seriously I am afraid to be what I am because I went to reddit and Instagram and people are just HOMOPHOBIC there with capital everything and it's disgusting and they are just down right abusive and if you say you are a bi they are gonna treat you like a hooker who would so so so want to have threesome with them and their opposite sex partner. It's so disgusting and disturbing.

My heart cries for every LGBTQ+ person in this country and how much the majority just cannot be 'live and let live', they felt threatened by everything which isn't the norm. And especially since this hindutva moment started things are worse and people are cruel in the name of religion which was known to accept all.

I don't think my god hates me for who I am when she made me this way.

Yeah, in my family I have pretended to be like... I am not even heterosexual for my parents because I am not even supposed to like male celebrities or characters because good girls don't do that.

Good girls just pop out babies with a stranger they sell marry you to and never be open about sex at all. Or anything related to that.

My mother blamed me for having periods and I was fucking eleven and haven't even heard the word before because in advertisement they never use blood and I thought I am gonna die because seriously who bleeds from down in there for a eleven year old. My relationship with my mother was so good that I went to school crying and told her nothing and I wore a white skirt and thankfully it was halfday with ptm that day and my mother came but when she saw she was so angry for me getting periods at eleven and I even didn't knew what was happening to me, I thought I was dying. And she never told me but just told me to be quiet about it and bear with it. (gods, I love her but I just don't like her, I understand her but I don't want her to be the way she is) I mean she should have reflected on why I did not told her. But she never did. Because you don't talk about bleeding from your uterus, blood trailing down from your cervix to vagina to thighs to knees to calfs to foot to the floor.

I mean the world would be a better place if we just let people be whoever they are. And let them love whoever they want in a consented manner.

This is really... I just feel so much for women and queer people in this country and how badly we are treated by masses and they call us abusive and weird and what not.

I feel suffocated here and yeah it's polluted and crowded but I wish people were just... Chill. Because I am scared of the people out there. I am scared to be what I am in open because that's just gonna be worse for me and I don't want to live like this.
