#similar-sexed attraction

[beyond-mogai-pride-flags]

OSA Pride Flag

OSA: other-sex attraction (or opposite-sex attraction); the counterpart of SSA (same-sex attraction/similar-sex attraction).

SSA Pride Flag

SSA: same-sex attraction/similar-sex attraction.

SGA Pride Flag

SGA: same-gender (or similar-gender/s) attraction.

OGA Pride Flag

OGA: other-gender(s) [or opposite-gender(s)] attraction; the counterpart of SGA (same-gender attraction).

These definitions are neutral in nature and are older than the discourse surrounding them (gatekeepers still use then, so use with care).

Though "opposite" may imply a gender/sex binary, it's not always the case since many use it as the attraction to their antigender(s)/sex(es) [e.g.: enanteic]. These terms includes those who are exclusively attracted to such gender(s)/sex(es), and those who are attracted to multiple sexes/genders. Sometimes, being attracted to multigender or agender people can make the attraction blur into neither or both (mestric/diamoric is useful for that).

It should be said that "sex" isn't necessarily indicating biological sex. As sex is a biopsychosocial construct and may include social/brain sex (according to one's intrapersonal identity narrative). For example, a Wolffian dating a Müllerian Wolfadic can still consider their attraction SSA if they consider the altered/modified sex or psychosocially sexed traits in this attraction. However, another person can consider their attraction as both SGA and OSA, as they see sex and gender as distinct concepts interpersonally [unleashed from the binomial/biaxial].

Image transcripts input is appreciated. These flags can include intersex and altersex people as long as they consent individually.

I worry quite often that if I don't find someone else who's a romantic ace like I am...I'll be a disappointment to them and I'll fall out of favor with them-

Like I wanna date so badly but I think especially in HS nobody will ever want me

Idk sometimes I worry that maybe I'm not even good enough and I'm a waste of space like it's gotten to the point this summer where Im afraid of time passing and I've developed some suicidal ideations I wont lie-

(Dunno if this is too much for your confession box my apologies)

I just want to preface this by saying I know you are not a lesbian, I am not looking to be a lesbian that's on here wanting to circle jerk about how oppressive and cruel bisexual women are, someone thinks I have cruel intentions, I don't, I just want to know more about radical feminism and lesbians. I have no issue with OSA women and their relationships with men. and you just seem to know a lot about radical feminism, so I wanted to ask.

Were there any lesbian radfems, or where they(well known ones) just OSA women calling themselves lesbian?

Radical feminist spaces are just like any other space: there are actual, bona fide lesbians (if you're looking for recommendations?), there are bisexual women who think they're lesbians but will one day realise they're not (there are some well-known examples, e.g. mean-lesbian-something), there are bisexual women who think they're lesbians but who will refuse to acknowledge their bisexuality (there are some well-known examples of this group too, e.g. apparently someone in a lesbian discord server?), and there are political lesbians (who may or may not be actual lesbians, e.g. Julie Bindel and Sheila Jeffreys).

What would happen if God disappeared one day?? Would the angels keep living as usual? Would things change?

Heaven would become a polyamorous gay angel commune

It's not easy to be a guy with a weird gender and complicated relationships with its sexuality and romantic attraction and fat and autistic and traumatized to the bone but someone has to do it

"Zevran would romance Astarion" I don't know that much about Astarion but I don't think he would.

talking to my mom is such a blast. meeting of the minds

[benjinkies]

the thing about horny chefs and bakers thirst trapping on tik tok is that they don’t even get why it would be sexy to cook/bake. it’s not just being hot and fingering a turkey. you’ve melted down the complexities of horny into one big mundane boring and altogether sexless thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I figured out a while ago that the part of being raised Evangelical Christian that fucked me up the most was the aspect that your thoughts are constantly being monitered by god. A close 2nd was the very commonly expressed idea that giving your life to god would make you very happy, with the underlying idea that if you were unhappy then god did not love you.

Why isn't fisto on the list?

i'm beginning to think some of you don't know what a sexyman is

[tyrannuspitch]

i'm reading this historical novel with a third gender character and like. i don't know how to feel about it. because obviously gender is personal and contextual and they will be operating within their own society's rules. but i feel like the author is keeping things so just-within-the-rules that it almost becomes like... a weird reluctance to engage with actual queerness? only with alternative norms? almost like. inventing new ways to be cis and then doing cisnormativity with them lmao

i hung out with both of them again over the weekend and it's going really well* and this is still wild to me. it's been exactly what i needed- just easy and good, and good in different ways bc they're so different from each other! but i don't think i've fully described either here

Bookstore: very tall. verrry sexy voice. nb and bi. does not do small talk.** similar taste in media to my own, esp movies, book genres, and spooky podcasts; every time we hang out is like (sexually charged) book club. big nose. always looks exhausted (hot). younger than me but an oldest sibling and lowkey has oldest sister syndrome, but not in a bad way.

Tech Guy: medium height. v round. v much a standard normal straight guy*** but sweet? adventurous- seems kinda boring and normcore, but the lore keeps getting wilder. he's iranian (initiated his citizenship process immediately after the 2016 election (can successfully navigate bureaucracy (hot))) and has offered to take me on a date to his favorite little middle eastern grocery.**** maintains the exact level of beard scruff that makes me craaaazy. the EYEBROWS on this bitch!! older than me but a youngest sibling (with sisters, so like. he seems to understand that women are human beings).

Both: soft hands.***** lots of friends, including platonic female friends. dislike going out and doing things alone, except for going to the movies, which they do often. when asked what dnd class would you be, personally, like you as the person you are now, both said... bard.****** idk how to feel ab that one.

so i like them both and i'm also glad i started seeing them at the same time, bc i think if it was just one or the other, things would have gotten too intense too fast (bc they both like me A LOT and i'mmmmm enjoying that more than i would have expected, i am tempted to overindulge in such adoration). as-is, i've made a list of guidelines for myself that's helping me to maintain boundaries and keep things as tidy as i can. it helps that they're both good at communicating and planning!

anyway next weekend i'm hanging out with the two friends who set me up with these ppl and i need to think of something very good and special to bring them to say thanks!!!

I'm kinda stunned at how little I care for canon x canon ships unless they're ACTUALLY canon.

Like if it's a canon crackship, I don't care. Most of them make no sense anyone (yes even the ones I KINDA ship but like??? Do I even really ship any of them or do I just like the aesthetics??)

Anyway, I don't really care for shipping fandom anymore 🤣🤣🤣 it's the worst part of any fandom let's be real. For whatever reason I only vibe with OC x Canon now (or just OC x OC).

WHICH IS LIKE, SO BIZARRE TO ME, I USED TO BE SUPER INTO SHIPPING, but I think perhaps recently a lot of the ships that get "popular" are just the most boring, bland, EXPECTED ships (like Dabi and you know who LMAO could you honestly get actually any more boring than that???) <- ALSO THIS IS HILARIOUS FOR ME TO SAY BECAUSE ABITETH IS A HERO?????? (I'm really not here to bash any ships which is why I'm not specifying WHICH ship I find yawn-worthy BTW so please no one else try to guess 😂😂 I'm more delusional than anyone else OKAY I SHIP MY OCS, WHO WILL NEVER EXIST IN THE SERIES, WITH CANON CHARACTERS FROM THAT SERIES I AM VERY MUCH MORE DELULU).

Anyway TLDR if the ship doesn't actually have ANY development in the canon and interactions between characters are NEVER shown to be positive or romantic, then I have literally zero interest 🤣 esp if it's Enemies to Lovers, I cannot stand that trope (I used to think I liked it but I realized what I liked was RIVALS to Lovers, not Enemies to Lovers hahaha).
