And also someone else’s sexuality/gender does not have to make sense to me, like it should seriously just come down to basic respect and care for the other person. Everything is a performance of our internal desires and understanding of ourselves, so I don’t feel intellectualizing someone’s identity is the most pertinent; it’s that they’re happy and healthy. So in summation, (bc holy fucking essay) it boils down to just caring for that person
Words have meaning and people have fought hard for these labels and these communities to mean something the moment we start trying to bend set in stone boxes them those words lose their meaning and importance. If a label needs to bend to adhere to you maybe it’s not a label for you and that’s fine but find the one that fits don’t try to bend and entire community to try to fit your needs. Queerness is a beautiful spectrum and there is a place for everybody. But certain labels have meanings
Yeah like I’m a gay man. I identify with the sex I was born as but just feel like it doesn’t matter, like even including conceptually. Therefore if there were someone who I assumed was a man, I would feel sexually and possibly romantically attracted to them. That person could be nonbinary and I still would find them attractive and respect their identity at the same time
it depends on the trans man, how they want to identify. it goes on how gender and sexuality is a spectrum. also the lgbtq community as a whole doesn’t go with societal expectations. there’s a history of lesbians and trans men. identity doesn’t have to make sense. identities can contradict each other as we are people and everyone is different.
what about the lesbians who feel uncomfortable there’s men in their community now? we have to just let men invade a women’s space just bc it fits them better even tho it’s making people uncomfortable and an incorrect label? this is like saying even tho i’m a trans woman i can say im cis because that fits me better personally like huh that’s not how it works
