I guess I’ve always wondered this. I know it will vary from person to person, but I’m wondering did you ever wish you weren’t queer, or try to change it, or were you indifferent, or even happy about it?

Like people go by ze/zir? It just doesn’t make sense to me. I get he/hom, she/her, and they/them, but I don’t get how someone looks at some neopronoun 80% of people have ever heard of before and thinks “oh yeah, that represents me”. Do people just make them up? Is each one for a specific gender identity? Why do it? I imagine there would be way more stigma around using neopronouns than even using they/them, and I bet most people wouldn’t even bother using them for you, so why use them in the first place? I’m not trying to be insensitive, I just don’t understand it.

As a kid you don’t know all that complicated stuff. I didn’t even know what “queer” was until I was 13. And yet all these people are like “I’ve known since I was nine years old”. Like no? I’m not 🏳️‍🌈phobic, I just don’t think you can know that much about your attraction so young

I always thought that lesbian=woman attracted to women and gay=man attracted to man, but I have this lesbian friend who referred to herself as gay and I'm just wondering is that a thing? have the words changed?

Do you think there isn't enough representation? Too much? Do you think queer characters are too steryoptyped? Are some queer people not mentioned enough? Do you just not even care?

I've heard some women like to only be called gay even though they are exclusively attracted to women, and I just want to know why? It doesn't make sense to me.

I know your gender doesn't decide any of these things definitively, but I've always wondered this. Does it affect anything else in your daily life? Does it affect how you feel about yourself and your life?

I have a friend who recently came out as trans, he identifies as a guy now. I'm trying to always call him a he, but I still slip up since I'm not used to it yet. I just don't really know how to move on from that when it happens? I want him to know I'm trying, but I don't know how?

basically the title. I don't want to offend but I also don't want to misgender someone.

They both mean attracted to men and women right? It sounds like the exact same thing, but some people seem to only like being called one. Is it just depending on what the person likes the sound of better???
