Heading to Nashville to see Something Corporate this Thursday, but would love to check out a gay bar or two while there. Anyone have any reccs?
I am trans and i hate other trans people they all hate me and abandon me and leave me to rot in misery, alone.
Last couple years have been processing the vocabulary to properly articulate my sexuality. I have always been in this weird spot on the sexual spectrum where i felt too queer to be straight, but too straight to identify as queer without feeling like I am co-opting. On top of that I had issues with commitment and letting partners in emotionally. I now consider myself Gynosexual and Demi-Romantic. Meaning I am sexually attracted to feminine physical features regardless of gender identity or sexual anatomy, and that I only can develop romantic feelings for someone after a long deep connection. People in public ask me if I am gay a lot (mostly because as a cis man my voice/mannerisms are not masculine presenting enough for some people) and I just find it a lot easier to just tell people "I am attracted to women" or "I am open minded" than to have to explain the nuance of the sexual spectrum to people or lie and claim to be 100% straight.
This is still one of the most important things I’ve ever read in regards to understanding myself, my sexuality, and my addiction. Gonna add this one to it.
I am trans and finally ready to be perceived publicly as such. Been on HRT since new years. Trying to be more vocal about it!
This is a little silly, and I feel dumb for posting it. But I entered my husband and I into an America's Favorite Couple contest, and we just made it to the second round, from the top 75 to top 20 in our group. If we win, we receive $20,000 and a feature in Variety. I think the odds are pretty darn slim, but with him having a heart and a kidney transplant last year, and potentially losing his job this month, that would be pretty helpful right now. Plus, how amazing would it be if an LGBTQ+ couple won this, especially during this... tense times? Sorry again for sharing this, BUT, if you don't mind sending us a vote, we'd certainly appreciate it! Vote for Ricky And Nathan as America's Favorite Couple!
I just had this thought: when I was fifteen, I didn't think I'd make it past thirty, and back then I didn't even know why I was so depressed! Now I'm turning 35, I'm the happiest I've ever been, but also... everything fucking sucksssss. It's tough being a trans woman out here fam. Even in a big city in a blue state. Seeing all the anti trans legislation popping up elsewhere... Maybe I'm just too online, but I have this constant anxiety anytime I go out. tbh, I don't even get misgendered or faced with microaggressions that often in public. I don't really have an online presence outside of this site. So yeah, maybe I am relatively safe here and it's all in my head. But it would be nice to not worry all the time. I feel like if this whole fascism thing escalates too quickly us trans poc will be among the first to go. ICE may not be targeting Asians yet but it's only a matter of time. I just feel so powerless. Clearly protests aren't working and no one actually gives a fuck about the Epstein files or anything else the orange dicktator does. Why aren't other countries doing anything? I feel like I'm drowning.
