But like, is that normal? Is there something between bi and straight that I’m missing and haven’t heard of? Or have I just not figured things out yet?
well i don’t know if this is the answer you’re looking for, but when i was in my identity crisis phase, i found some words for sexualities that aren’t explicitly bi, pan, or gay. btw feel free to correct me if any of these definitions are wrong
(just adding a TW and spoiler box for anyone who finds the use of the q-word particularly triggering)
Spoiler - click to show.
Polysexual: somewhere in between bi and pan. attraction to multiple but not all genders. fluid sexuality, your amount of attraction to a gender can fluctuate. not a blind attraction like pansexual is.
Omnisexual: attraction to all genders but again not a blind attraction. while pansexual essentially means that you could be attracted to anyone and not care about their gender, omni means that you could still be attracted to anyone regardless of gender, but you would still care in some degree what their gender is. (does that make sense? you can ask me questions if it doesn’t)
Queer: a term some people like to use to describe themselves when they either don’t want to explicitly label their attraction, also used as a broad term to describe anyone not heterosexual. used as a slur in the past so some people, most older lgbtq members or people who had it used against them negatively, don’t like the idea of reclaiming it but (most) younger people have no problem with it. i myself identify as queer/gay
let me know if this helps and feel free to ask me questions!!!
Canvas lets you put your pronouns next to your name now by now I mean I just noticed :D
I like it even though they're next to my deadname
And my psych/soc/gov't&citz teacher put his pronouns up so that's cool, maybe more people will do that now
We stan cis people putting their pronouns up

Wait it does?
checks
Okay how long has this been a thing
Bruh idk but I love it
It's like having a crown
look at my pronouns, look at them
I can't find it :(
I mean I'm cis and don't get misgendered, but I do make a point to put my pronouns where I can.
When you're on your period and you feel like getting sick. ALL BECAUSE YOU EAT AN APPLE!
If you go to account>settings, you'll see all of your names used for sorting and display. In that list is "pronouns". Find the "edit settings" button and click the drop down next to the pronouns row to select.
I am readily making all my RP characters sad every chance I get because I Hate Myself.
Yeah, mine just doesn't have it. Oh well. It might be a bit different because we're using a university-specific Canvas site.
AAAAAAAAAAA
IM THROWING HANDS WTF
-grabs my mallet- Who am I killing?!? I GO ALL JASON ON THEIR ASSES!!
braid their arteries
I-
Wh-
I mean-
Uh-
Okay then
I think I’m putting too much faith into them. They seemed really cool (and some of them still are) but the more I learn the worse it gets.
Unfortunately, no matter what I do I cannot escape them as they are, in fact, irl friends that go to all the homeschool dances and are generally liked by my family
plus if I had to tell my parents that the reason I stopped associating with them is cause they’re “transphobic assholes” I would probably be grounded and forced to Ben Shapiro for a month
:( Sorry Ella
My family is the big transphobic too…
My mom works with a lot of LGBT students but still misgenders them, says things like "a girl who wants to be a boy" in describing trans boys, and she's explicitly told me to not bring up the fact that my fiance has 2 siblings who don't id with their birth genders (one's a trans guy, the other is an enby). Also my fiance uses they/them pronouns, but that sounds like something my family will never know. (Just keep thinking I'm straight, guys….)
Like is it really that hard to be respectful? I know it's easy to be disrespectful towards things you don't understand, but even effort to learn can go a long way.
However, Ella, I will say, your friends are still young and have time to change. So they might be terrible now, but they aren't hopeless forever necessarily.
OK SO we have a problem. One of my close friends recently came out as transgender and I keep on accidentally calling him his old name/pronouns out of habit. I feel terrible everytime I do, and I'm sure he does too, so I need help breaking the habit. Any advice on how I can break out of this habit? Or should I just try my best to call him the correct name/pronouns until it becomes a habit??
Just catch and correct yourself, and move on. If it helps, maybe in your own time, write/talk about him to yourself so you get more practice? I promise it'll eventually set in, as long as you make the effort and as long as at your core, you respect his gender identity.
Also, don't freak out about it. Just correct yourself and move on, maybe throw in an apology after or when you two are alone.
the human who puts the pan in panic has arrived haha
