I’ve seen this sort of thread get mixed responses in the past but maybe we can make this one work idk.
I’m a cis (or not trans) woman and I consider myself pansexual. To borrow from an online dictionary, to be pansexual means to not (be) limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity.
There’s some debate as to whether pansexuality is just glorified bisexuality. Perhaps we can discuss that further here. I don’t mind being considered bisexual either.
As for not-straight experiences, my first relationship was with another woman. It was an online relationship with someone I’d been good friends with for a while (I certified that she wasn’t a creeper, lol). I loved her very much but got too paranoid about our relationship being discovered by my homophobic family to meet up with her in person, which made her upset, understandably, and we broke things off. It took me years to get over that.
On a happier note, I’m more accepting of myself now. It’s almost like accepting myself as a mentally ill person led to self-acceptance in other ways. I’ve pretty much stopped caring what my family thinks of me though I’m still not out to them. Maybe I’ll say something after I’ve moved out because safety is still a concern, I’m sad to say.
I’m a cis gay men. I’ve been with plenty of women but it took me some time to realize thats not what I really wanted. People are so open about sexuality where I live, its really progressive and I love it. I’m currently going on dates with a few different men, some knowing of my psychosis some not, but things so far are going well. I used to live pretty deep in the south and was very scared of coming out as people there are not as accepting, and I’ve seen violence threatened to lgbt people when I was younger. I came out to my family in the middle of a psychotic episode and lucky to me they were very accepting. I haven’t told my extended family about my sexuality or my sz as they are very close minded and religious, but eventually I hope to get married to the right person and by then I won’t really care about keeping false relationships like that.
I’ve never been with another female. I wonder what it’s like. I haven’t given up with guys but I do wonder if being with a female is maybe better for me I guess I’m bi curious.
@Qwerty you don’t want to take this path. Obviously people are open about their lives here. That’s not a bad thing. Seriously. I would rather talk about this, than erectile dysfunction… we are here to support anyone’s lives.
Hey folks! As most of you know, I’m trans and asexual. I don’t identify as a man or a woman, and I’m married to a man. We just love and accept each other for who we are.
Speaking of lgbt issues, I’m in a car alone with my dad for the next hour and I really want to tell him I’m trans (if that’s what what I am is called)
But I don’t know how. Any ideas?
I don’t want him to think it’s just a psychosis whim I’m having
You know him best. My big advice is to work under the assumption he will take it well, and open up with things like “I trust you so much and you’ve always been so supportive, so I want to share something with you” which puts him in the drama of reference of being accepting.
