    I'M JUST CURIOUS ALRIGHT!

    For some reason the idea for this just popped into my head out of nowhere. Lately I've actually been pretty interested all of this, even though I've known I was trans for like two and a half years now but never wanted to actually learn about anything. No idea why it took this long. I blame Seattle.

    Anyway, feel free to pick the answer in the poll that you personally identify as. If you don't want to that's fine, but if you came here at all I'm assuming you're probably comfortable with it. But if not, I hope myself and this wonderful community can make you feel welcome enough to do so in the future.

    Also, if you want, you can go ahead and talk about it in the replies. I'll start off by saying I am a trans lesbian, though I haven't actually started transitioning yet for several reasons. But I absolutely plan to, hopefully soon.

    I wish I came up with this even a day sooner so it would fit into Pride Month...

    Okay sorry to post twice put I accidentally listed Trans twice in the poll so I'm going to go correct that. Whoever picked that should check which one was deleted

    I voted bisexual since it's fairly similar to pansexual, my actual sexuality.

    Edit: With the new options I voted pansexual and gender-fluid. I'm pretty closeted irl due to fear of harassment. Once I move to a bigger city maybe I can open up a bit.

    Queer basically means sexual orientation or gender identity that doesn't correspond with cis or straightness, in case you were wondering. Often people say it to mean gay, but a lot of people use it now as a general label that encompasses many identities or as a way of labeling themselves if they are unsure about using a more specific one. Gender identity and sexuality can be very confusing at times.

    Also where my fellow enby folks at o.O

    I'm very sure I'm ace (asexual, not having s-xual attraction), but not sure if I'm biromantic (attracted romantically to 2 or more genders) or aromantic (not having romantic attraction).
    I'm closeted to my family because from what I've gathered, they don't like/support the community. I'm out to my irl friends and online folks though.

    God DAMMIT I forgot those too AHHHHHHHHH!

    This brings up a question. I have a friend who said she isn't against having a partner, but doesn't actively want one either. I believe her exact words were "...now I don't really care. If I find someone I find someone if not I'll be fine". Is that aromantic or something else?

    I love your friends quote: "...now I don't really care. If I find someone I find someone if not I'll be fine".

    Cause that's exactly how I feel about my situation in life. While I believe I am straight on normal occasions, I never really actively look for a partner, and I'm genuinely happy and content without one so far.

    I mean, it's about what gender(s) you're attracted to, not so much whether you seek it out. That latter bit is more a choice. I guess you could say she's just romance-neutral? Aromantic means you don't feel attraction to anyone, at all. They can date people, they just don't have interest in other people first or whatever.

    - Source: am aroace (although romance averse/repulsed, will not date people)

    I'm totally sure I'm straight. And you know how non-straight people say they're proud to be that, I say I'm proud that I'm straight! Yay.

    I am straight, but It doesn't matter to me what someone is interested in. As long as ya are nice to me, I am fine.

    I'm BI but outside of a few select people would I've directly told no one knows but have assumed such.

    I feel anyone who cares about being trans or gay/bi or whatever are just assholes who are insecure or people who are part of some really messed up shit.

    But regardless of what you identify as I don't care. Just be a decent human being and we will be on good terms.

    I think of myself as Pan but I am in a very committed straight relationship if that makes sense. If I ever (hopefully not) am not in this relationship I would be open to a relationship with anyone that I really like, no matter the sexuality. From having been in a now 15 year relationship I can attest, meshing with someone mentally is so much more important than anything else.
