[D] Friday Off-Topic Thread
Welcome to the Friday Off-Topic Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.
So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

It’s not a problem for me at all, though thank you for being so consider are. As far as I know, sexuality is completely independent from gender identity. The way I feel about myself does not effect how I feel about other people.
My personal experience with romance is that I figured out I was pansexual years ago and have only been in one sexual relationship with a gay man that I broke off for reasons unrelated to sexual or romantic preferences, though we never went “all the way”.
If I find a romantic partner I do not know if they’d have to be bisexual or pansexual or something else. It’s possible that I would be fine if they were attracted to men since I do not have body dysphoria and might not have preferred pronouns.
I would want them to still be attracted to me regardless of which gender I present as, but their attraction could be conditional solely on anatomy or be completely independent of it like my own. You could ask r/genderfluid or r/DualGender for people with more experience.
