what's your sexuality/ gender

[Sivath]

ok... cis doesn't mean what you think it means i hate that word with a passion its actually a very complex psychological scientific term that essentially means "a gay person choosing to be straight for the sake of society" until tumblr bastardised it and turned it into a tumblrism if you trace "cis" back to SJWs first using it that's more or less what they implied that everyone is born gay or queer but chooses their sexual orientation there was a weird movement for a while that you could turn straight people gay

Interesting. I'll use 'non trans', then. Or.. actually, we sometimes call you guys 'normies' or 'normals' for the sake of brevity, but that might also be offensive.

to be honest i don't know what that's like Australia's been the most progressive nation about gays for the longest time i think Sydney has the most gays of any city though it may have lost the title to SF in the past decade so here it very much is accepted but my point still stands the protests are unnecessary

I don't know anything about Australia, but I believe I'm entitled to be (peacefully) aggressive about my rights and freedom.
I may be a little touchy because I've had a classmate say that once. A group of kids were going to do a lgbt positivity presentation for their group project. He said, "They have enough rights, why don't they just shut up about it?". I asked him if he would tell the whole school he's gay. Just for three weeks. He wouldn't.

Proud straight male here.

I'm a heterosexual female.

1 on The Kinsey scale here.

I took it for the Lolz and got a 3. Probably not accurate if it came off of buzzed though. Haha

I honestly suspect a major factor in the relatively high number of QUILTBAG individuals in fandom is word-of-mouth. People who're already part of fandom get their close friends and partners involved, and queer people are more likely than cis-straight people to have queer friends and partners. That and everyone is gay for Abel.

And I do find that they tend to be way more open about their sex lives than straight cis-gendered people, which sometimes isn't entirely their fault, but it can be good and bad. I'm the kind of person who feels uncomfortable when people just spew out who they fucked last night like it's nothing so that's a pretty bad thing for me.

You've obviously not been around the same straight high schoolers I have. I worked at a school library last spring and I learned way more about those kids' sex lives than I ever wanted to. And they weren't even nice about it (as in, they were semi-loudly complaining about someone's performance. In the fucking library).

I refer to myself as my biological gender, however I could not care less what freaking genitals and reproductive systems I have. I just use my biological gender because it's the least amount of hassle. When looking at myself I just more or less feel like a genderless blob that just does day to day stuff.

Talking about my sexuality is more or less the same, I call myself bisexual for the sake of simplicity, but I could not care less about other people's genders either as long as their bodies/personalities/whatever would be attractive. Besides, I have a partner at the moment so sexuality isn't very relevant right now.

 

[pineapplepizza]

Straight male. Unless it comes to yiff- then I actually prefer gay. So far it hasn't affected my sexual orientation in real life though

 

[It'sBlitz]

Male, but I don't even know my sexuality...

 

[Cloudyhue]

I understand. My first hypothesis was that maybe young LGBT teenagers could perhaps relate to the furry fandom, as a way of safely expressing themselves, as an anonymous character. Or maybe I'm just talking completely out of my arse on this one, I don't know.

Hey, that's what I'm doing. My fursona is a lesbian just like I am. I project myself into her and express myself that way. When you're an attractive lesbian shark thing on the internet there's little prejudice compared to real life sometimes.

 

[StolenMadWolf]

Straight Guy.

This is interesting

 

[WolfNightV4X1]

Male, bi, really I don't think about that too much. I just like people.

 

[WolfNightV4X1]

Alright before this thread goes batshit, I'll throw in my understanding of the topic

1) Most furries are LGBT

Same goes for anime fans, fantasy, sci fi nerds, etc. It's not that impressive or strange. Fanbases tend to attract a lot of people of different types and backgrounds so it's no surprise that a lot of them are different and openly accept people in the community, the only similarity they all have is they like the topic of their fixation

2) Theyre are multiple genders.


Okay, let me start by saying there are exactly two sexes, with some gray margin in between: Male and Female. The majority of people are male or female, with a few intersex individuals.

Gender is the experience of someone based on overall sex traits, it's not some made up happy-go-lucky feeling to pander to your imagination. Sex traits are five things that match to get someone male or female: Chromosomes, Genitals/Primary sex characteristics, secondary sex characteristics, Hormones, and neurological traits.


As for how many genders there are? It boils down to three, or four.

Three being the two binary "male" and "Female" sex, with the tertiary gender as a gray area between the two as a catch-all term for "other" or "variant" individuals. The "other" category can be split into two others "genderfluid"- people who contain traits of both and either, and are often androgynous. And "Agender" People who do not associate with their sex/gender, and also can be often androgynous.

All those fancy terms like "neutrois", "androgyne", "bigender" and such all fall into those categories, and are nothing more than extra labels...some particularly for people who don't quite understand what gender is.



The LGBT community has a particularly awful knack for having kids and teens bandwagon onto the community just to feel special and inclusive. That's not what it's about, it's about people's rights not to be harassed for who they love or how they live.




Regarding the term "cis-", it's literal meaning is as a prefix, such as used in chemistry, "trans-" is also used in chemistry and many other terms. In literal terms trans means "opposite side" whereas cis mean "same side". If transgender was a word invented because it means "opposite gender of ones own sex", then cis implies the other. Of course, cis ended up being bastardized as a way for angry teenagers to cry "die cis scum" over their SJW movements, but it's meaning outside of that is still very basic as a definition.

Female and pan. sometimes pots too.

[Miaq_Al_Sharim]

Male, hetero in the real physical world, bi in the anthropomorphic pornographic art world.
Real dudes just aren't attractive, and they smell all wrong bruh.

 

[Scales42]

It took me 10 minutes to figure out what's the joke damn iam stupid

 

[SoniatheSquishy]

Trans-feminine [definitely more feminine than masculine, still trying to figure out exactly where I lay on that end though], and heteroflexible.

 

[ellaerna]

to be honest i don't know what that's like Australia's been the most progressive nation about gays for the longest time

Despite the fact that Australia's technically at war with the gays. Or rather the gays are at war with Australia. Have been since 2004.
Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands - Wikipedia
The rainbow pride flag can't even be flown in/on government buildings since it is the flag of a hostile nation.
Seriously. I'm not making this shit up.


But on topic, I'm female and I'm bi, for whatever that is worth.

 

[Casey Fluffbat]

Dunno if either, haven't checked.

 

[GreenZone]

Despite the fact that Australia's technically at war with the gays.

you're talking out our ass

look Dale Anderson is a known nutjob who makes micronations left right and centre the rainbow flag not being flown has nothing to do with it being a "hostile nation" its because its like others have said seen as waving it in people's face

there was a MASSIVE backlash because a couple years ago they wanted to us (soldiers) to wear these on our slouch hats to show gays are accepted or what ever

it failed miserably its offensive to politicise the rising sun badge any way but also for a bunch reasons you wont understand if you're not Australian even notable gays were offended any way it never went ahead

also ive actually just voted for gay marriage a day ago the election is going on now i think the poles were about 70 for 40 against the against are mostly religious people the only person i know who is against gay marriage is a devout Catholic he doesn't have a problem with gays or them being in relationships he just finds gay Marriage offensive because to him its a sacred religious institution and by allowing gay marriage you're undermining the rights of the churches who don't want to participate and are forcing them

which i'll be honest he's right gays have been allowed to be civilly married for a while but no they want the full marriage in a church thing

Daaaaaaamn.

Look, I would argue that I was not "speaking out of my ass" but rather making a humorous observation based on the fact that there is an actual group of gays and lesbians who have declared war on Australia, despite how silly an endeavor that might be.

I was not trying to say you or Australia were anti gay, if you took it that way. You seem a tad defensive in your response. There's no need, really.

I just think it's hilarious that this "kingdom" exists and I love spreading this fun fact to anyone and everyone.

Wow! This thread's exploded! Thanks, guys.
