I try to phrase the questions as neutral as possible to get an unbiased response, but I should probably include a disclaimer that I have scrupulosity OCD n I want to peel my skin off anytime someone indicates that I’ve been a bad person, n consensus helps

I think people were being mad/confused because w thought YOU were thinking they were only lesbian terms, not that someone else had asked you. You phrased the question well, but didn’t put that someone else said it to you, leading to us thinking you had come up with that train of thought on your own. You are not a bad person for asking, or having someone be wrong and mad at you.

Just wanted to say generally that you're not alone, and you're definitely not the only lgbtq+ person on here with OCD. We're here for you 🫡 -Sincerely, a fellow transmasc bisexual with OCD

PS I’m aware that it’s not ideal to give into compulsions and seek reassurance and I’m actively working on that for the other facets of my ocd but it feels truly logically unethical to just ignore whenever someone says I did something wrong and just chalk it up to my ocd making me over think it.

You’re all good don’t worry, I understand the feeling especially when it’s something I know little to nothing about, I hope the responses were helpful, but yeah theres nothing wrong with asking the community something if you just don’t know

I completely understand the reaction !! I just didn’t want to include that context in the original post bcos I was worried that people might ‘go easy’ on me if it was like “I did x, aita for doing x?” Honestly I thought everyone on the post was very nice and informative, I just hadn’t realized that it would come off as discourse-starting n wanted to clarify

Yeah, I don’t think you need to feel guilty about asking this, there’s a difference between seeking empty reassurance and seeking correct answers, and as far as I can tell you asked for answers.
