The Glowing One

[–] SkySyrup@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 year ago (4 children)

why is there no „help I don’t fucking know“ button?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well... what do you feel like? When you imagine yourself in your head, what do you see?

[–] SkySyrup@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well, I would like to be a woman/girl. That’s how I’ve felt since I was 8. but it’s gotten much stronger in the past couple months.

Ayo congrats on having your egg crack. If you want to talk about gender questioning in egg_irl or transfem those are full of ladies and feminine nonbinaries that can offer you some love or some helpful guides or answers.

[–] SkySyrup@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

thanks for not immediately invalidating my thoughts.

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh my gosh of course I wouldn't. That would be transphobic. Transgender is naturally questioning and often confusing, too. We find our answers, in time.

That's partially why I'm closeted. Even my queerness is too weird and requires explanation (and results occasionally in accusations).

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nonbinary? Neopronouns? Agender?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agender is close. Gender apathetic. I have M on my state ID but whatevs. While I can feel humiliation, I don't feel emasculation. But recently seeing the degree that trans folk know they are their gender identity (and also seeing alpha male types who look masculine to us but can't seem to be butch enough for themselves, it's like seeing my queerness as lensing of stuff behind a black hole.

I could pass as cis-het except that I'm an ASD misanthropic goblin, so I exude a bit odd wherever I go.

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I love that. I'm a bit odd too :3 Right now I just dress kinda... cutesy queer with florals and patterns and lots of colors.

I think, I'm a trans binary female but there is always a bit of wiggle room. I wanna express it in a tomgirl sort of way. A lot of my fashion icons rock male cargo shorts, for example. But I won't like, ever tell anyone this. Because I want to be socially affirmed as female, and only visually express the details.

I've also heard of this sort of black hole feeling you are talking about! I think gender apathetic is a great word for it.

But if you can't feel emasculation, try on this dress 😋 why pass as male? Why pass as human?

I came here for exactly this.

[–] euphoric_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

ahhh shit I knew i forgot to add something 😭😭😭 really sorry I forgot questioning

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Questioning people belong in the LGBT+ community so I guess you answer “LGB...” for sexuality and/or “Prefer not to answer” for gender identity.

Still not ideal; another reason why the poll I suggested in a previous comment is better.

I immediately thought about how this seems like weak glowlie bait, but it's most likely not

I'm a 6'8 Malaysian body builder living in California, I make Ramen plastic for a living, and on the week ends I bench press homeless people for tips

[–] euphoric_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

i don't know how to say this but, its nice to see other like minded people thinking about it being bait, really. it gives me hope people here actually understand this kind of shit unlike on literally any other platform

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TIL. No idea how it relates to the post so consider me clueless.

glowie (plural glowies)

(Internet slang, derogatory, far-right) A government agent or informant infiltrating an online political space, with the supposed intention of surveilling violent extremists or provoking entrapment.

[–] euphoric_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

well, you said yourself how it relates to this post in your definition, an agent who is doing some kind of surveillance to better understand a group, usually to control them, villify them, etc. the trouble is, most of the time this kind of work is done not against extremists, but activists and minority groups like us so they can oppress us and strip away our rights

Euphoric cat is a CIA plant who's handler is Vaush and they report together to Amtrak Biden

This doesn't make any sense, you guys have to vote for gender AND for orientation. The percentage of cis to non cis doesn't make any sense when it's mixed into the orientation block of straight, queer etc. Should have been 2 polls

Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between straight and cis?

[–] Suspicious@lemmy.wtf 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Straight = heterosexual, Cis (short for cisgender) = someone who identifys with the gender assigned to them at birth i.e. anyone who is not transgender

Why the downvotes? Schools in lots of places don't teach LGBT+ vocabulary and not everyone is interested enough to look it up. Many have never needed to answer anything other than "male/female/other" for gender, and very few people use the word "cis" to identify themselves, so it's OK to not know ithe term.

Edit: my school was rather progressive but I still can't remember being taught the term “cis” in sex ed at 12 years old and I only found out when I started seeing LGBT+ memes online and became an ally 5 years later.

Another reason why the poll I suggested in the previous comment is better.

[–] euphoric_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago

one is an orientation the other is a gender identity

Damn the straight fellas have been outnumbered.

[–] euphoric_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they're falling behind but then they've caught back up several times now

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

How is this post glowing? I don't get it

[–] ssfckdt@mastodon.cloud 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

cis, straight, prefer not to say

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

38, Pansexual, Cisgender Male.

Actually surprised by current results. I always feel a little out of place here being cis and seeing so many trans memes and users.
