I'm amazed at how much effort people put in to deconstructing their tastes and preferences to the point where they require a full sentence of buzzwords to describe who they want to fuck.

I get that. But I am positive that most people when they describe themselves would not immediately say "I am an intersex genderqueer aromantic pansexual" or something similar. Or even really say that they were gay, if you want simplicity. No one is saying it is their entire identity. Let's go back to the sweets analogy: Yes, cookies, cupcakes, cakes and donuts are all sweets. But if someone points to a bakery display case and says, "What do you want?" It's pretty damn vague to just say "Sweets".Yessir. :0 I'll tone it down a little. Just passionate.

Ok, Rob, you've convinced me. I'll take back the [2] I sent in Aragorn's direction.

I'll be taking my [1] as well.

Alright, I just wanted to make sure that understanding was made. :)

This is just perhaps the most common topic I see become a confusion/fight between the LGBT community and straight allies.
So I didn't want to take any chances in not trying to clarify the other side.

First of all, sex is the biological definition of male or female. Gender is far more the sociological and psychological aspects associated with the sexes. The people who have been fucking up these definitions can stop talking now.

Whatever societal pressures are placed upon a sex is entirely arbitrary nowadays and was derived from our biological makeup affecting our behaviour in the distant past. For example, the male identity of seeking power and control is derived primarily from two biological factors: First, males are more disposable than females (one male can preggerz several females, one female requires several months to make one unit after incubation), second, males have significantly more testosterone, which leads to aggressive behaviours. As society evolved and grew, we grew around these as natural concepts, ergo why they're pretty common across the entire world no matter how isolated the society with only a few, rare exceptions.

However, it should be noted that the few rare exceptions do exist. Meaning that the societal aspect of "boys love cars" and "girls love barbies" is something we simply label, not something that is one hundred percent grounded in fact. Meaning that the only trait that should be considered in the face of the law and other institutions is purely your biological gender where determining such things as medical aid: Females, and males. How the female or male interprets him/her/itself is entirely irrelevent. Meaning a person can see themselves as being a guy trapped in a girl's body, a girl trapped in a guy's body, a halfway cross of feminine and masculine traits, feel like both or neither, have strong sexual urges or none whatsoever, be attracted to their own gender/sex, another gender/sex, to other species, to dirt, to bottles, to the hole in the fence, to a goddamn body pillow or trampoline. All of these are perfectly valid and make perfect sense in the face of gender, which is psychological and sociological. In the face of the physical sex, no, it makes no sense, but nobody is talking about the physical sex when they talk about sexual identity. They're talking about the psychological and sociological aspects.

There. Science. N' shit.

i call people people. that doesnt mean you share an identity that means you are equal. if you insist on being different that to me says you dont think youre equal and probably a prick.

as for describing nonbinary panromantic demisexuals i dont know. how about simon? i mean fuck most people dont know what panromantic is anyway so youre going be be explaining it ninety percent of the time anyway. also his sexuality is only relevant when it comes to attraction. i dont go to a job interview saying hi im straight. that is irrelevant. i dont go and throw my sexuality around for no reason. sure sexuality is important but it isnt the only identifying factor of a person. thats like saying your identity is not multifaceted ie that simons only defining factor is his sexuality. the only time i care about someones sexuality is when i want to get romantically or sexually involved with them. when i dont i dont give a fuck. and thats the way it should be. youre gay? good youre a guy who likes guys i wont treat any different for it. youre nonbinary panromantic demisexual? good for you ill try to avoid asking if you have a tumblr but other than that nothing about our interactions should change.

the only reason this divisive shit exists is because of a lack of acceptance in parts of society and in that sense its important to a lot of people to give names and explanations about sexuality. that is a persistent issue sure but when were all good on the acceptance part not giving a fuck is the next step so get used to that. if anything the genuine confusion as to why to divide love into different terms is progressive.

Alright, if this thread does get lock (and it will get lock), then please go to the official LGBT+ thread.

-You encounter wild thread Tension.
-Thread people uses "Try to understand other side"
-It's super effective, the Tension is dissolved.

*Cue 8-bit walking music*

-You encounter a wild Argument starter!
-Dispel with humor I choose you!

Alright. I think we've had enough of this thread.

Sad to see this go, but I would like to everyone to go to the official LGBT+ thread. It has rules and it's more organize.
