Ok, so that's what the asexual flag looks like.
I'm guessing gray is on there to signify lack of sexual passion. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

It actually represents the gray area between asexuality and allosexuality (= experiencing sexual attraction), which includes demisexuals, gray aces, etc. Additionally, the black stripe is for asexuality, the white one is for allies and non-ace partners, and the purple one represents the whole community. I personally think it's a very pretty flag, and I like to wear its colours to low-key show my pride hahahah.

Ah, thank you for the education!
I'ts great that you can show your support for the community, my ma's been listening to Catholic radio lately and I don't think I can reveal myself at home yet. But my older sister, aunt and therapist know. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

bisexual non-binary girl here! to be more specific w/ my gender identity, i like to call myself genderflux - my feelings on gender varies in intensity. most of the time i do feel female, but sometimes i feel nothing at all and don't want to be associated with any gender.

Hullo, Chillwave, welcome! :]
The presidemt of the local GSA club on campus has asked members who are trans or nonbinary if they want to be part of a documentary and some of us have responded favorably, including me. I wonder if I'll get interviewed. I gave the person a short profile on myself. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

Well, I'm all straight and boring so I don't think I'll contribute much to this thread. But I do want to say I also hope this becomes a big happy thread for the LGBT members of our community! I've chatted to plenty of you, and y'all are awesome. I've been struggling with being a gender fluid for a under a year now. It started when I was 18...I've always been a tom boy all my life. I hate girl clothes, I hate the color pink, I think people who do fashion need to get shanked because nothing fits me!!! I'm starting to cope with the random switches during either the day or at night. But I've always felt more like a guy trapped in this stupid girl body. I don't think I'm really transgender but I do know that most of my friends have been guys cause I can't stand other females, with a few exceptions to some of my close female friends. It's a bit hard to explain cause I am very emotionally stunted from my bad childhood so I have a hard time talking to others and opening up about things....cause then people see a freak. |

Welcome, Shunte! :]
I think I can relate to you a bit, I'm not very girly either, I seem to relate to the women who don't care too much about fashion as well. I know some people who are sensitive to scented lotions and things so I don't use those products. I've never had a manicure or pedicure because I garden and it'd just get ruined. I once had a female classmate who freaked out at the insects and worms in the garden and I wanted to ask her why she even paid for a class that would be outside. I would go around in overalls if I could bu my mom wouldn't like that unless I paid for em with my own money so I'm starting job searching. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

I wear a lot of guy clothes cause I find them quiet comfy much to the probable displeasure of my highly religious adopted parents. Well I don't really think my adopted cares but my adopted mom does cause I picked up the habit from a friend of mine I am very close to. It's mostly just the shirts, I still wear girl pants as long as they don't try to squeeze the life out of me. |

I have a question for everyone who is nonbinary: Do you ever have dreams where you're the other sex and you're going to the bathroom like them?
I've had dreams where I'm a guy twice now. It's interesting. Or do you dream of safe spaces if your usual environment is not welcoming? I do. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

Hi, I'm Raven Black.
I was born Amanda Schifano but that's become a slave name to my past being raised a door mat to my mothers ideals and expectations for me. I was raised Catholic but realized I only went for the free band when our awesome band was replaced by this old woman who sung horribly and realized I didn't give a damn about anything in the religion. People abused my kindness so I changed my name, had a bit of a "goodbye to Sandra Dee" moment and rose myself from the ashes like a phoenix. Ironically it's one of my favorite mythical beings. Religion wise, I can't say. I believe in reincarnation but like the idea of waking up in the world I only role play about. I'm asexual and gender fluid but mostly gender void. But I do have a female fiance whom I've known and been with for 10+ years. She's my RP partner, best friend and greatest ally who's been there with me thick and thin and I wouldn;t have it any other way. She's talked me through good and bad times so while there are many like her, she is mine. I hate gender nouns. I am not Miss, Ma'am, madam etc and prefer Xir or Zim. X) though I don't mind being called sir. >_> Because I was raised that women are child bearers and house keepers but I am a warrior and will NEVER be pushing out one of those Parasite STD's. I'm almost 30 and STILL hate children and that's ok because my fiance does to. We prefer animals, robots and cars X) -------------------- |

Hello Raven, thank you for your perspective.
Who thought of the terms Xir and Zim? It's interesting. Why are those considered gender neutral? I do not know very much. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

It's been a while since I've been on these forums. Happy to see this type of thread on here!
I'm a bisexual man and in a relationship with a bisexual woman. People can't seem to wrap their heads around that. (Fun fact: We met on this website 6 years ago, became best friends and later partners, visited each other on school breaks, and have just recently moved in together!) I'm attracted to men and women (and other gender presentations) in different ways. I can find a man's physical appearance attractive, but have a harder time being attracted to their personality, possibly due to the experiences I have had with male figures in my life. I have no problem being sexually and romantically attracted to women and non-binary folk. I identify as a man but sometimes I feel non-binary. Still trying to figure this one out, since I have a very masculine body type and don't know how I would be able to present as anything else. It's more an occasional feeling than anything else, currently. -------------------- |

Hullo, MisterGrieves, welcome!
I think it's awesome that this website has led you and your wife to each other! I don't know what new discussion we should have, it seems my previous question was ignored. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

as far as my gender identity goes, i'm non-binary. the concept of gender is silly to me. i present myself as female though since i'm dfab but i consider myself more as a person than a gender.
for sexual identity, i'm proudly bi, and i'm dating a bi trans guy <3 |

Hullo fiji water, welcome!
What does "dfab" mean? I'd Google it but I might find all sorts of things so I think it'd make more sense to ask the community. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

I bought a ticket for my campus' Gay Prom, it's next week and I am excited for it!
I just need to remember to bring earplugs in case it gets a bit loud. Have any of you had the opportunity to go to a Gay Prom? If you have, was the atmosphere fun, safe and freeing? Edit reason: I misspelled "bought".

Hello snapple! Welcome!
I'm slowly figuring out how I identify. I hope everyone who wants relationships can find understanding and loving partners. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |
