I cheated the system.
I wore my gym clothes to school.

that's what everyone at my school did…was mine the only school that did that?

I was the only one who did that in mine. I mean, I'm sure other kids did, I just never met them.

No one in my school did that except the kids who had gym first period. I feel bad for them.

Marching band is great because I never have to deal with locker rooms again. But then concert season rolls around and it’s gendered formal wear and I’m just like “D: shit” but I can avoid dysphoria for some of the year at least.

Quoisexual AKA WTFsexual: someone who can't pin down what sexual attraction is, or feeling it's impossible for them to comprehend

Das me :)

HAHAHA, I'VE NEVER HAD TO DO GYM
I'm doing online p.e. for my online class and my gym credit

@jupiter-sun, if you go back a page a few of us tell about our experiences being on the ace and aro spectrums, and there's some good vocab back there too. It might help you figure some things out :)

Just had my first date with my datefriend and I didn't have the balls to kiss them and I'm really mad about it

oof im sorry

Thank you so much to everyone for sharing their stories, especially @Owen, It'll still take me a while to figure it out but you really cleared things up for me. And I can totally relate to the girl locker room situation, I’d always get so much shit for changing in the toilet stalls and not in the changing room with everyone else.

Aw, you're very welcome :)

I just like….hate homophobia..so fucking much.

There’s a good chance that I’ll never be able to publicly acknowledge the fact that I’m with my significant other. Their mom has threatened to send them to New Orleans if she ever hears that they’re with “a girl.”

Damn, that's horrible. Im guessing their mom thinks you two are just friends? Do you spend a lot of time together?

oh honey.. I send all my hugs to you.

Yeah we were just friends for the entire school year. We haven’t been able to see each other since quarantine started. They confessed that they liked me close to the last day of school. Then sadly we never went back to school so I haven’t seen them since. So we actually got together over quarantine. But they accidentally let it slip to their mom that we’re QPP’s. And that’s when she did the whole “if I hear anything about you in a relationship with a girl ever again, I’m sending you away.” So that sUcKs

oh honey.. I send all my hugs to you.

Thanks I appreciate your hugs :D

I can't believe there are people out there who'd really send their child away, uproot them from their life, their social circle, the only thing they know just because they have a relationship they don't approve of. The only excuse to send your child away is if it's for a vacation of if your kid actually committed a crime and has to go to a detention center. You don't just move your kid away when you don't approve of one aspect if their life. Disgusting.
I'm sorry your zuchinni's mom is so detrimental to you two.

Thanks I appreciate it. I almost feel like it’s my fault though. Up until now, they’d exclusively liked guys. And I’d had a habit of quickly rejecting anyone who tried to ask me out. If both of us had stuck to our usual ways, they’d never have to be suffering like this. I know it’s stupid, but I still think like that sometimes.

nO it is 100% not your fault
{insert what owen said bc it's so well worded}
and anyways
you can't help who you're attracted to
repress it, maybe
but it will always be you

i'm sorry that you have to go thru this
big hugs @ fren

i’m so sorry max but none of this is your fault

your zuchinni

Are we ignoring this or?

Zucchini is the term for your QPP, I use significant other or partner because it’s more well known

And thanks for all of the support y’all. Y’all are the best.
On a happier note, I managed to buy tickets for the Messy podcast live and meet and greet. Messy is a great podcast hosted by MacDoesIt and MikeMGTV, they’re both awesome queer creators.
