do you want to try out some new pronouns on the internet for a while, to see if it's something you might like? nobody (nobody cool, at least) will judge you if you want to explore gender more

Spoiler: I got really pissed when a guy pretty much asked me out after Humanities class yesterday. Like... I try to keep calm, but considering, you know, as I've said before, it really really annoyed me. I laughed it off but honestly mehhhh. I'm not good at responding to these things. Though I guess at least I didn't yell at him. Should've just told him I have a "boyfriend" xd

Like, I'm not at all attracted to him, or pretty much anyone so eh??? I don't think it's socially acceptable here to say "yooo I'm asexual". I mean there was another more accurate term I forgot, but either way it'd be too hard to explain. And probably unnecessary for me to explain myself anyway.

If you want to be called she, just say the word. Only way to figure it out is to try it and see how you feel.

Try playing a forum game/FM and everyone keeps on calling you he/him. RIP.

There are dudes who just like to cross dress. That might be you. Just take time to figure shit out.

Labels have loose definitions. If you think a word fits you, there's nothing stopping you from using it.

I identified with asexuality for a while, just because it was simpler than using some drawn-out explanation that nobody cares about. A little while back I decided that might've been crossing some lines and now I just tell people I'm not interested in sex. I still go with gay, because that's pretty much what I am, but it's more complicated than that, and if someone really wants to know then I can just elaborate then. Otherwise there's no point in worrying about finding something that fits you perfectly, whether it's being gay, transgender, or someone who likes green.

TL;DR don't worry too much about it. You can be treated like a girl without saying you're transgender.

(It's nice to see this still up btw.)

Have you done any research on nonbinary identities? You might find that rather that fitting on either end of the gender spectrum, you're floating somewhere nearer to the middle ^.^

Distinc.tt is more of a social networking app, but it doesn't forbid anyone from looking for dates if they wish to do so. An app like that would be better than an app purely focused on dating, since I think purposefully chasing a relationship forces it too much. For me, it's better to make a lot of friends and see if you like any of them, rather than go through a crowd of stangers and not know what you're looking for.

But of course life works differently for different people, so I wish you good luck nonetheless.

Any tips or things you wish you would've known before meeting someone for the first time?


You did make sure it was a date and not a hookup right <.<
Only reason I say this is because of how Grindr is seen more as a hookup app rather than a dating app.

Aw, congratulations!

No first-hand experience, so I'll just throw out the most generic advice out there: be yourself. If he doesn't like who you are, you're better off without him anyway.

But I do hope it goes well. Have fun and stay safe.

How do people always manage to read me as male? I always use a genderless name and don't set any particular gender.

It's not even on this site, it's even on the weird communities filled with girls. Does anyone here know why?

Ehh. It's even on the female dominated places where they usually assume people are girls.

I'm not really against it, just curious about what about my pony fanfics is just oozing masculinity.

The old laws wrote:There are no girls on the internet

Or yknow, your username here starts with Al, thats already a guys name so it flows into assuming masculinity or something.
