I’m respectful and tolerant and understanding all that blah blah blah stuff. I get that FTM are physically born females who feel like boys inside. And I get that MTF are physically born males who feel like women inside. I’e been told this, I’ve learned it, I accepted i, and respected it.
But then I actually thought about it and the not understanding part came in. How do you FEEL like a girl? Or FEEL like a boy? Like, I’m pretty sure that the only reason I identify as a girl is because I have a vagina. And with my vagina I have always been told I’m a female. But that is the only attibute that I give to girls specifically.
I’ll use FTM as an example. If a girl liked girls, that doesn’t make them a dude. It makes them into girls. If a girl liked to wear baggy “boyish” clothes. That doesn’t mean they’re a dude. it means they like to dress like that. If a girl wanted to be able to walk around without a shirt on, pretty sure we all want that (sorry this one’s stupid). But my point is, at what point are they trans?
What is “being a boy on the inside”?As always, this is a legit question. I am not trying to be a bitch.
Who are you to tell people what they’re attracted to and who they love. Bisexuality is just as real as any other sexual orientation. If people can like the same gender, and the opposite gender, and everything that comes between, why can’t they like both/all? And it especially upsets me when I see gays and lesbians say that it isn’t real, because they know what it’s like to have someone tell them that who they are isn’t real. Maybe there are straight girls and gay gays who say “I’m bi”. But the majority of people who come out as bi, are actually and truly bisexual.
Possibly no word in the English language is as misunderstood as is homosexuality. In our society we are so afraid of it and we know so little about it that we are apt to become anxious whenever we hear a whisper of homosexual behavior.
ANYWAY.
I often hear gay people (usually dudes) say that there is no such thing as bisexuality. I was just curious as to how you can get all upset or insulted when people say that homosexuality is a choice or not real and etc, but then you turn around and and do the same thing to another group?
Not trying to insult anyone. Not trying to start an argument. Simply curious and looking for answers in the place I know best. And now here’s a question mark?
I have a legit question here.
So I understand that LGBTQ is a label for basically all things homo. Lesbian. Gay. Bisexual. Transgender/Transsexual. Queer.
So obviously lesbians are homosexual. Gays are homosexual. Bisexuals can be in homosexual relationships. And queer, well I use this word in daily language for its actual meaning (which is “weird”) but I guess it is also another word for gay.
But why is Transgender also included in this category? Please understand that I am in NO way trying to insult anyone who is trans. I am not trying to belittle you or say that you don’t deserve equal rights or that you guys don’t get bullied.
But when I think of Trans people, they consider themselves (or will get a sex change) the opposite sex. And in my opinion that’s not gay. I am acquainted with a FTM trans and I call him a he. He is attracted to girls. He dates girls. He considers himself a boy. This isn’t gay in my opinion at all. Because he is straight. He is a boy who likes girls. Maybe he’s not technically a dude down there (yet?), but on the outside and in his view/mind (and in mine and most others), he is a chico.
So yeah. Please remember I am NOT insulting anyone (at least not trying to) because I respect ALL individuals (because by my definition we are all queer[weird]. Maybe I am just not educated on this matter enough. I was just curious as to why trans people are meshed up with homos all the time?
