Wait can someone actually explain to me what that is? Like I've heard of it but I have no clue what it is

Wow.

Oh.

yep. this is….. to be frank…..a little silly

Hey can I join this?

Of course!

So on the otherkin subject. I'm not sure how I feel on it. I'm all for personal freedom, but when people picture the LGBT community and they think of otherkin, that projects a less than stellar image for us.

Can someone tell me what the acronym stands for these days? There are too many letters for me to keep up anymore.

As a bisexual, I can't even tell you what it stands for anymore.

I'm gay, and I believe that LGBT encompasses people who aren't straight, cisgender, and experience romantic attraction. That has some exceptions though, I'm hesitant to allow those who identify their gender as an inanimate object into our community. Asexuals and Aromantics, y'all are cool.

Most people use LGBTQA+
So lesbian, gay, trans(including nobinary, genderfluid, etc.) queer (for people who don't really have a label or choose not to use a label beyond 'not straight'. It also stand for questioning sometimes) and aromantics/asexuals/agender people. The plus is there for sexualities and genders that fall under an umbrella and don't have a letter, like pans, polys, demis, and grays.

thx

What do you guys think about people who say their gender is an inanimate object or is related to one?

People….say that…?

Ah, they do. Tumblr is a good place to go for that.

Can I have an example? Because this is the bizarrest shit ive ever heard

So…. my left arm can be male but the rest of me is female……

I think imma just be Bi.

Seems legit.

These were the first articles that popped up when I googled it, haven't fully read through both of them because school but they might have something you're looking for? I don't know.

The tumblr blog @/uncommongenders should have info straight from the source. Scroll down a bit for gems such as "moviegender" "charmgender" and "arthogender"

is shook

I like glitter and want a dog, quick, we have to make up 8 genders and 2 sexualities to define this complex emotion

Honestly those type of people make the LGBTQ+ Community look really bad and it's annoying.
