REBLOG THIS POST IF YOU FEEL SAFER WHEN QUEER SPACES ARE OPENLY ACCEPTING OF AMAB NONBINARY PEOPLE
it sucks when im limited by my age and all i can do is sit in my room and silently be trans instead of protesting. people are putting their safety on the line to protect me, and all i can do is like tumblr posts about it.
I feel the need to clarify that penetration doesn’t just mean sex, not that OP was implying that, just cause that’s what I immediately thought.
It can also mean using tampons, which I can’t do because of this, and I just found out I have pcos.
Lease take care of yourselves lovelies!!!!
I wonder how many ppl with vaginas deal with vaginal atrophy without being on HRT but don't know and were given shitty little dismissals or incorrect diagnoses from their doctors
Bc I learned what it was from trans men and knew that's what I was dealing with, had a doctor check and say "oh yeah" and put me on oral estrogen which fucked me up, the correct treatment is vaginal estrogen cream or suppositories
IF YOU HAVE PCOS OR ANY OTHER HORMONE BASED DX and you have a vagina and penetration HURTS, please ask your doctor about vaginal atrophy. This is not something I was ever told about with any of my diagnoses but it's affected me since puberty. I use cream now a couple times a week and penetration doesn't hurt anymore and I don't struggle with dryness. This is a common symptom of having higher T in your body whether it's natural or due to HRT. This does not only affect post menopausal people or trans people on HRT.
Also atrophy can become bad enough that you deal with chronic pain constantly without penetration. Pain anywhere isn't normal and pain in your vagina at all is certainly abnormal.
Ok so I have updated what I identify with
All of the above minus androgyne.
I have come to terms with being a demiboy
I also identify with the sub labels
- cupioromantic (meaning I don’t feel romantic attraction but crave a romantic relationship)
-bellusexual (being asexual but still being interested in certain sexual/physically intimate actions without feeling the actual sexual attraction)
Ummm hi? My name is Sonny (pronounced sunny) and I use all pronouns with a preference of they/them.
And uh these are the flags I associate with
- ace
- aro
- non-binary
- androgyne
- trans
- aroace
Okay so this is mostly a personal rant (feel free to skip)
Ok so
The summer before 8th grade I had determined I didn’t like being called my legal name or the (god damned) nickname that came with it. So I started thinking about names that could pass as nicknames for my legal name.
I was listening to musicals like I often do and in the heights came on, and I guess you can see where this is going.
I chose my name in honor and reference to Sonny and kept that spelling as a way to convince that it was derived from legal name.
And so I started introducing myself as Sonny. It made me happy, when people call me Sonny I would be more excited to answer, and my mom started introducing me to her friends as Sonny.
When I accepted that I wasn’t cisgender I started to think of ways I could either come out to my mother or gain comfort without.
I have determined that I shouldn’t come out, not with how my mom see’s people who fall out of the binary and even those who just don’t associate with their AGAB.
But I started to drop hints that I dislike how my figure falls. Y’know specifically the stupid flash sacks hanging from my torso.
This is about the time that things started to change.
My mom stopped introducing me as Sonny.
It was slow at first
“Oh this is Sonny”
“Oh this is my DAUGHTER, *legal name* but SHE goes by Sonny”
“This is *legal name*”
“This is *god damn evil nickname*”
I don’t know if she suspects something, but she’s the type to confront you if she is suspicious.
That’s how I got dragged out of the closet as asexual.
But I just wanted to illustrate how bad it can make you feel when someone ignores your name.
When she stopped using my preferred name, it felt like she decided I didn’t have to be respected.
I don’t need to be acknowledged correctly.
I don’t have to feel comfort or joy when someone addresses me.
I don’t think that’s just me.
Howdy from your local demi boy, enby, he/they. I am your parent and you are safe here.
since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...
Favorite pride memory?
Ok so as I’ve said before, I’ve never been to a pride parade or protest because I’m not exactly allowed to go, but I do quietly celebrate pride.
Last year, I was inspired by a video I saw to make a cactus sweater! Y’know cause ace/aro cactus! So that’s probably my favorite pride memory
Thank some one who helped you get where you are.
I’d like to thank Thomas Sanders for providing the queer content my repressed soul needed throughout middle school and beyond.
Thank you Thomas Sanders @thatsthat24
Show us your pride outfits!
I don’t feel comfortable sharing pictures of me on tumblr ✌️
What song would be playing on my pride float?
I...
I don’t know how to explain why other than I live this song and Robin is LGBTQ+.
Who’s on my pride float!
If I could have anybody on my pride float for asexuality/aromantism, I would choose Yasmin Benoit and Cavetown.
I don’t know a lot about actually pride parades because I’m not allowed to go to them so I don’t know if my choices make sense but yeah!
A drag performer who inspires me?
Oh it would haaaave to be Todrick Hall.
I absolutely adore his works and his music.
Honestly I don’t know that many real drag queens as I wasn’t allowed to watch that kinda content growing up, so mostly I have discovered drag content to watch in the last two years.
Despite my drag ocs...
Song that reminds me of pride?
Ok so probably really basic but
Yeah...
I don’t have much else to say.
Favorite LGBTQIA+ moment in video games?
I don’t really play video games...
Soooo
The best I can do is tell you a cute story about among us.
Okay so one day when me and my friends were bored and all still played among us, my friends asked me to join an among us game.
I joined their lobby and they’re username was trans babe.
That was how she chose to come out to me.
It was freaking adorable, dude.
But yeah that’s the only thing I really have for today!
My favorite LGBTQIA+ TV moment!
My by far favorite lgbt moment on TV would have to be the Ruby and Sapphire wedding on Steven Universe! It was so precious and the entire episode was sooooo good!!!
Ahh I forgot to do this yesterday day
Favorite lgbt meme?
Favorite Lgbt ship?
Would absolutely have to be zukka
I read a ton of fanfics and love all the fanart.
I love a lot of ships but if I listed them all we’d be here awhile.
When did I realize I wasn’t straight?
Well I suppose that’s a difficult question.
For the longest time I was convinced I would marry a man and have 5 kids. But as I learned more about the world I found terms that just felt better.
In 6th grade, I started out with saying I was bisexual because it was the first term I learned. I thought it was appropriate because I thought girls were really pretty which I thought meant I could fall in love with them. But I still never thought I could have sex with a women and I had kind just pushed out of my mind the fact that for kids I would “need” to have sex.
In the same year, I was introduced to romantic attraction terms and started going by Biromantic heterosexual. That lasted about three months when I was introduced to the term asexual.
I have identified as asexual since I was in middle school and have ever since.
I also started questioning my gender identity around this time but we’ll get back to that.
Now even though I had determined that I was ace, I still had it in my brain that I needed a romantic interest to appease the concept I grew up with.
So I jumped around between deciding who my “crush” would be. From a sweet femme person I admired to a girl that would become one of my best friends.
I tried as I might to love them the way they wanted me to. I tried so hard with putting romance behind every I love you.
But I just can’t.
I don’t feel that way.
I just don’t, no matter how I try.
And that’s okay. They accept me.
It was around the time I determined I was aro that I decided there was no point in denying that I didn’t feel like a girl.
I still don’t. I identified for awhile as androgyne because if my mom ever asked me about my gender it wouldn’t break her heart as much.
But recently I’ve determined I do like being associated with being a “girl”.
So I have decided to settle with the term Demiboy as of now.
He/they pronouns.
My favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure?
I am not sure.
I could list only a few of the top of my head in general.
I like Salvador Dali (asexual) for his art and his different view of the world but he didn’t really do anything for the community.
I read a while ago about someone who worked with Martin Luther King Jr, fought alongside him, who identified as homosexual but I can’t for the life of me remember his name. I saved an article about him somewhere but I can’t find it. If anyone knows who I’m talking about, help me find his name.
He would probably be my favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure.
Which LGBTQIA+ cliche do you most identify with?
Here’s the thing.
As an asexual I most identify with beanies and succulents and Galaxy shit.
But as an enby, I am both the flamboyant goth layers for days and the reddie love child button ups and Fanny pack wearing smart ass depending on the temperature outside.
Favorite LGBTQIA+ tumblr!
For sure would have to be @crimson-chains
I absolutely love all of their works and am always waiting. For them to update both on tumblr and their other accounts.
If you see this @crimson-chains, I want you to know that you bring so much joy into my life and are an absolutely amazing artist and storyteller, thank you for all you do!
My pride playlist.
Does just all of cavetown count?
Okay! This I can do! What’s your favorite LGBTQ book?
Well I just finished reading a book called “Meet Cute Diary” which is about a trans guy who writes a blog called the meet cute diary and it’s a bunch of meet cites involving trans people. The catch is though, that he made them all up and someone calls him out in it! The plot is him trying to find a way to prove that he isn’t a fraud and save his blog and maybe find love along the way!
I’m always looking for good queer books and just picked up another one recently although I haven’t started it yet because I’m saving it to read on the road.
We’re supposed to tag our found family but the majority of my found family doesn’t have tumblr so....
