#they're the reason i figured out i'm bi and genderfluid

Fandoms have really worped peoples idea of what punk is.Obviously the misconceptions and straight up lies about us didn't start with them but they were definitely a huge help in spreading them due to media and the lack of comprehension of it therefore.Like i said in the caption of my recent meme that blew up,being punk is not an aesthetic but a subculture and a policitical movement with the requirements to be one of us being fighting against corruption and helping and generally being kind to minorities and if a character is just edgy without doing that,then they don't deserve to be grouped in with us when they haven't earned it
In real life,when someone goes punk,it's almost always because they're a minority and faced so much discrimation and abuse because of it that they decided to do something about it and that's how they made their decision.I'm not gonna give out details because that would be traumadumping but the reason i went from regular pastel to pastel punk is that i'm a biracial afrolatina who was raised by the white side of their family,mentally disabled because of having a bunch of disorders including autism,mspec and aspec and a former tomboy kid turned femme genderfluid and bigender transmasc.That probably gives you an idea of all i've experienced and those experiences are the reason i decided to start going punk,not because i wanted to be 'cool'.Not that that's inherently a bad reason to but it is a rather ignorant one
Like,look at the characters i used in that meme-Hobie Brown,a black teenager who was forced to grow up too fast or he wouldn't survive,Ichigo Kurosaki,an autistic boy who saw his mom die when he was only a child and was never given therapy and resorted to repressing his emotions to cope and had deal with everyone assuming he was a delinquent based off nothing but his hair color so they treated them badly because of it as far back as middle school,Katara,an indigineous girl born during a 100 year long war who saw her mom get murdered when she was only 4 and adultified and parentified for the next 10 years straight afterwards even though she has an older brother,Luz Noceda,a second gen afro-dominican inmigrant who's bi and gender nonconforming AND neurodivergent and had no friends until her series began because of it,Stephanie Brown,a girl who was emotionally and physically abused by her dad and nearly got csa'd by one of said dad's friend's which traumatized her so much she remembered all the details years later and had to take care of her mom who was a drug addict and then had to deal with a man twice her age constantly degrading her for not being his adoptive son yet calling himself her mentor
Percy Jackson,an adhd and autistic person who's abusive stepdad used their insecurities over their intellegence as insult fuel and grew up poor and getting bullied nonstop and with their teachers not only never helping them but AGREEING with their bullies that they were a bad kid and punishing them for nothing and then spending all five books of the original series having to deal with an older man who'd gaslit them into trusting them so he could kill them when they were only 12 AND literally almost every authority figure(the gods)treating them like shit including the one who's their dad that abandoned them at birth and never made up for it,Dabi Todoroki,a physically disabled man who's disabilities were caused by him trying please his dad who'd started abusing his entire family the second he didn't get what he wanted from them and has been having to deal with everyone praising him as just an anti-hero for almost a decade
They're all punks,some intentionally,some not,but the REASON they are is that they have the punk mentality and show it in their actions,not because some of them are edgy and some of them not being edgy dosen't mean they 'don't count as/can't be' punk and that was caused by their experiences as minorities,not anything else and that's not subtext,it's just text.You don't HAVE to be a minority to be punk but the characters i've seen labeled as part of us more often than not are the ones actively hurting the ones who are and that inherently means they can't be because the whole reason punk was created was to be anti-bigotry and protecting and loving opressed people
Someone who dresses in dark colors and alt accesories and goes out of their way to mistreat people who don't deserve it and are already thought of as subhuman by society isn't a punk,they're a bully and an abuser in the making and if they're an adult,then they already are one and no,them being abused dosen't justify any of that because MANY irl actual punks went through and are even still going through it but didn't have the privilige to turn into a tormenter with no consequences over it.And sorry to tell you this but if you think they are or should be instead of getting justice served on them,then you're not punk either

Tumblr has been recommending your posts to me a lot lately, and I've seen that you're trying to figure out which words to describe your identity with, so I want to try to help you out a little!
The most important thing to consider is what you want from your label. Labels can serve many different purposes, but here are some of the key things that they're often used for:
Understanding your identity internally
Finding comfort or joy in words that describe your experiences
Finding community with others who have similar experiences
Expressing your identity to other people, especially quickly
Labels don't have to be used for all of those things, but they're usually going to be used for at least one of those things. You might also use different labels for different reasons, or use different labels in different contexts.
If you're using labels to understand your identity internally, or to find comfort or joy...
... Use whichever ones you feel fit best! It doesn't matter whether it makes sense/seems right to others or not, because the goal is to find something that makes sense/seems right to you. Be as specific, or as broad, as you desire. Use however many labels you want!
You could even make a document listing all of your labels if you want to keep track of them. There's also an attraction tracker and gender tracker if you want to track your experiences over time.
If you're using labels to find community...
... Use labels which are common and/or broad! It's easiest to find community when you're using relatively common or loosely defined labels. If it has a page on this wiki, you've probably got a good shot at finding a community surrounding that label, and thus, finding people whose experiences are similar to yours.
If it doesn't have a page on that wiki, don't worry! You can still try to find community with more niche labels; it just might not be as easy to find people who share your identity.
If you're using labels to express your identity to others...
... Use labels which are common and/or easy to explain! Using more common labels increases the chance that people will understand what you mean to express. Or, if someone doesn't understand what your label means, you'll want to be able to easily explain the definition, or what the word means for you in particular.
It can be hard to gauge how common a label is, especially when you know a lot of labels yourself. But generally, people will have a basic understanding of the following terms, whether those people are members of the LGBTQ+ community or not:
gay
lesbian
queer
bi(sexual)
pan(sexual)
trans(gender)
nonbinary
genderqueer
genderfluid
polyamorous
asexual (though many people think asexual = aroace)
The next terms are a bit of a coin-toss in my experience, but they'll be generally understood by most LGBTQ+ people, and some non-LGBTQ+ people as well:
sapphic
aromantic
demisexual
demiromantic
demigirl
demiboy
agender
omni(sexual)
bigender
xenogender
And regarding fluidity, it is often easiest to give people an "overview" or your identity if possible, rather than whatever specific shift you're experiencing. For example, you might simply say "I'm genderfluid" or "my identity is fluid" or "my identity changes every now and then." Or, if you want to express your current shift, you could say something like, "right now I'm [x], but that could change."
You might use different words depending on your current crowd, because different people will have different levels of understanding when it comes to labels. For example, I generally won't describe myself as pangender or demifluid when describing myself to cis people, but I will describe myself that way if I'm speaking to people who are also trans or nonbinary. Not as a way of hiding who I am, but just as a way of more easily discussing my identity.
You may also use different words in different contexts. For example, I describe myself solely as aromantic when that's the only part of my identity relevant to discuss, even though there are plenty of other aspects of my identity that exist, such as being polysexual, pangender, demifluid, polyaffectionate, a lesbian, or any other aspect of my identity.
And, when labels fail to convey your identity, descriptions are your friend! Can't find a commonly understood word to describe yourself with? Set the labels aside and just use descriptions alone. For example, instead of "I'm fidelityflux," you could say "the number of partners that I desire changes every now and then," or "sometimes I want to have no partners, sometimes I just want one, and sometimes I want multiple," or whichever other description you feel works best.
Hope this is helpful!
Thanks! That actually was helpful!
I mainly want to use labels for the "finding comfort or joy in words that describe your experiences" and "expressing your identity to other people, especially quickly" parts. 
I generally understand my queer identity. I have a full Google Doc listing my labels, but I'm not going to tell everyone I meet what's on that Doc (we would be there for hours). I think the best thing to do is tell them the very basic measure of my identity, something akin to "I'm genderfluid, meaning my gender identity changes every day, but I generally want to be seen as a man and referred to as a man." You know, something quick, simple, and straight to the point. 
Since I don't plan on dating any time soon, fidelityflux, omniaspec, and omnomi don't matter right now, and pronouns and my name are the most important things outside the internet for me. It's still a major part of who I am, but it doesn't matter right now, so I'll just leave them in my bio until it's relevant for people to know in the real world.
I was originally going to use this blog for fanfiction, but I ended up just making it a queer blog. I mean, most of this stuff is just for me to put my thoughts into words, but I do like hearing people's opinions on it, because sometimes it helps (like my transmasc tips post), or when I specifically ask people for help. 
The queerphobic comments I get still hurt, but I've come to accept the fact that I can't change this part of myself.
I really appreciate your response and your willingness to help a complete stranger. You really did help me!

My Magi LGBTQIA+ Headcanons
Ok, I've been working on this list since January. I still probably forgot some. I haven't worked out all my SnB ones yet and about half the Rens. It takes me an inordinate amount of time to sort them out. The only ones I'm really set on are the aspec ones because I'm biased (that's me, I'm AA and proud).
All that to say I may update this list or do a second part. Most likely won't be for a while since I'd want to to add a good chunk before I commit more to the wild.
Also, if you disagree, that's cool. My list though~ I love hearing other people's hcs but I am not up to arguing over mine. I know you guys are chill but to ensure we are on the same page :)
(It's a reasonably long list so all of it is under the read more)
Leila and Sahsa: You can't tell me the manga didn't start off with a lesbian love story with a little shit child playing mediator.
Judar: He very gay.
Aladdin: Genderfluid. I just like the idea of him having everyone constantly guessing as a child of chaos. They're also vying to take that title from Judar. I also can't place who the kid will be interested in but none of his friends are around the same age.
Titus: Trans gay guy.
Yunan: Doesn't really have much attachment to gender. He wouldn't really describe it as a lack of gender yet won't turn down using agender. Gender neutrois also works. Uses any pronouns.
Scheherazade: Cupiosexual. She yearns for being able to have sexual attraction but it just never has occurred for her. After a few decades she had accepted it about herself. The most common form of attraction she feels is alterous attraction (often explained as the space between romantic and platonic attraction).
Hakuryuu: He has messy chemistry with everyone. Bi disaster through and through.
Morgiana: Ace and questioning. She hasn't figured it all out yet but her friends are there to support her. (hi, yes, this is me projecting weeee)
Alibaba: Bisexual and clueless. So if you ask, he won't be able to answer but he also picked up on Sinbad's natural ability to flirt with anybody without trying too hard.
Hakuei: Lesbian
Koumei: Bisexual. I mentioned with the art I made on my own blog that I designed Koumei around the bi colors without realizing it. Nothing in my mind has changed to refute that so that's what I'm still going with. I do think it fits him.
Sphintus: Gay. I can see him being biromantic as well, but mostly into guys.
Sinbad: Pansexual and greyromantic. I won't go into it again more here. He's the best most clueless and suave person ever.
Jafar: Homoromantic demisexual. He likes guys but also without any strong connection to go off of he doesn't really register how people can be attractive.
Drakon: Omnisexual. There's attraction to guys, women, and enbies, all slightly different to each other. Preference for women.
Mystras: Also very gay.
Pisti: Aegoromantic. She gets invested in other people's (mainly her friends') love lives, and loves love stories, but whenever she tries getting into a relationship it never sits right for her. She won't mind an intimate relationship though knows it won't be romantic (after a bit of denial). After my brain came up with this I started projecting like hell and I don't give a fuck XD.
Mu: Mspec of some variety. I don't think he will be bothered by either bi or pan. Queer will work just as well. He will be down for anyone, you know? Going off queer history circles I've seen conversations and jokes that no one in Ancient Rome is monosexual. Mu feels like the person it will apply to the most. I'm going with it.
I joked to myself that the majority on Alma Toran are mspec or aspec. With longer lifespans for humans, a good handful are aspec because of the lack of incentive to have kids or families quickly. I would have posted about it last year during my Alma Toran posting in October and during ace week, but alas. I'm now posting it here lol.
Anyway, my Alma Toran hcs:
Solomon: Demisexual. Hasn't spent time thinking about it because he didn't expect to marry so young. It doesn't bother him though, not that he could explain his sexuality well.
Setta: Aroace. All ice mages are aroace because I said so. (except Judar, dude can have as many guys as he wants)
Isnan: Gay
Falan: Bi. Growing up she didn't have the chance to explore her sexuality. She won't deny it if asked though is perfectly happy in her relationship.
Ugo: Bi and aceflux.
Paimon: Also bi. She flirts too much with Ugo not to be (though I do know some lesbians and non-interested in men peeps who flirt with guys for shits and giggles without much feeling. Poison Ivy being the main lesbian I think of for this).
Arba: Non-sam aro. I tried to figure out her sexuality and I know it's not ace, but it's still too wrapped up in being aromantic. Non-sam is the closest I could figure.
Tess: Demiboy. The idea just burrowed into my head and hasn't left so I'm going with it. He is fine with he/they pronouns, yet the only people allowed to get away with calling him little boy are his parents.
That's all I got. For the moment, at least. If I try to figure everyone out I won't get around to finishing this till pride next year. If ever >>. As I said, I may update the list or post a second part.
Remember to stay chill peeps! & Happy Pride!

The Church on Ruby Road
I think folks have been liking these? So lets keep going. "Live" reactions to the new Doctor Who behind the cut.
Considering what we've seen from the trailers I wonder if Ruby was goblin food that got away.
A television interview is a nice way to expository dump.
Genderfluid Doctor wearing a Kilt dancing in a club. I sincerely hope Ncuti's Doctor delivers on the promise of his Bi-Generation meaning he's free of all the ANGST that's plagued NuWho
With all the bad luck they're causing Ruby I'd call these Gremlins more than Goblins.
"She's going to say yes" they explain it away with a bit of deductive reasoning but this has flavors of The Eighth Doctor and I'm here for it.
...did that woman just get impaled by a Christmas tree topper?
The Doctor just being in awe of the Goblin Ship
"How do you know all this?" "I don't, it's a new science to me and I love it" holy hell this is good shit.
The Doctor fucked Harry Houdini at some point.
How is that child not crying with all the noise?
I don't hate the musical number but it just gives me Star Wars Special Edition vibes.
The Doctor improvising a song to buy time. Okay, I dig it now
So just damn near everybody is gonna be Horny for the Doctor huh?
"You've got the biggest family in the world" "What about you?" "I've got no one" OH FUCK OFF WITH THAT. YOU'VE GOT COMPANIONS EVERYWHERE AND A GRAND DAUGHTER IN THE FUTURE. OR ARE THOSE ALL THE PROPERTY OF 14 NOW?
"I'm adopted, I only found out recently" seriously RTD? I don't know of anyone who liked the Timeless Child retcon you could just ignore it and no one would mind.
I figured out immediately what happened to Ruby meanwhile the Doctor takes like 5 minutes? Come'on now.
...that was a pretty violent death for the Goblin King.
I appreciate The Doctor respecting Ruby's mother's wishes
"Just wondering, maybe I'm the bad luck" well, yes, that's how NuWho has generally been written and I was really hoping dumping 14 and all his trauma off would have been the end of that and we could get back to some Classic Who style stories.
The TARDIS is like "your turn, Ruby. Come'on in"
Oh there had better be a pay off to that final line.
All in all a strong opener, I'm excited to see where this new era goes. Just wish we could move on from the "The Doctor has a sad backstory, boo hoo hoo" angst.

There's a part of me that wonders if bi lesbian would fit better as a label (especially since I'm weirdly starting to get..bored of the lesbian label?? Like idk it's weird. that label fits me so well yet it kinda feels like eating a bunch of chocolate constantly i guess. I dont really wanna expand on that it'd take a while to explain lol) But like... when I was first figuring out my identity I identified as bi because of a...different confusing situation (it's been 3 years I still don't understand any of that.... thing I experienced???? again not gonna expand on this. Might make another ask about it tho) but it never really fit me. And now after that the bi label feels...weird. Like idk. The bi lesbian flag is pretty and ik being a bi lesbian doesn't have to mean attraction to men but also a part of me can't get over "using bi label = forcing yourself to like men" (for myself specifically, I dont think that for others)
I don't know :( I'd like to use the label. The concept makes sense and I'd like it but the idea of actually identifying as a bi lesbian feels...idk. cold, i guess. like labels are suppose to feel warm. My identity as a lesbian feels warm, my identity as genderfluid feels warm, my identity as xenogender feels warm. They're all warm and comforting. But identifying as bi feels cold and uninviting?? for some reason?? even when combined with lesbian?? it's soo weird :(
I guess it's like...the label doesnt fit me. Even though it does? It does fit me but it doesn't???? aaaaaa
Perhaps it's because of the culture surrounding the label and the way people treat us coldly. But! Bi lesbian or not, labelhoarding is always fun and there are lots of labels you can add to the collection. If you want I'll show you my doc with all my labels and you can take whichever you want

hi! what are your sexuality headcanons? for byler and any other characters! :) feel free to go into depth if you'd like 💛
hihi :DDD prepare for too much information sorry
so for byler will is gay, that's canon, yup yup mhm. for mike i primarily headcanon him as unlabelled bc i genuinely do not think that man would ever figure himself out definitively, or even rlly want to. i do think he might be somewhere on the demi spectrum tho; him telling el he loved her at first sight is what he thinks he was supposed to feel but he's just not wired that way.
for other characters, panromantic el is ny beloved. idk if i fully hc her as ace but i feel like she's either aspec or just a late bloomer (for obvious reasons)
ik everyone says bi max but yk what imma be basic cuz i fully agree. i like gender headcanons for her, be it genderfluid, demigirl, nb, whatever, but i'm not like fully in on them bc a big part of her canon character is being the "tomboy" type without the not-like-other-girls rejection of femininity. genderfluid is probably my favourite tho. as a treat.
lucas... he's whatever andrew garfield is
Tumblr media
dustin is Very Straight bless his heart. ik there's discourse abt headcanoning him as ace and i don't fully but i like the idea of him and suzie being ace4ace and nobody understanding why they're so good at long distance lmaoooo
i don't rlly have any hcs outside of the party lol. i do think karen has kissed a woman at some point tho

Sparky sparky sparky! I MUST hear ur thoughts on wlw jasico and mlm pipeyna I'm so intruiged!!
OMG YES IM ABSOLUTELY SO VERY GLAD TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE
okay so for the genderbend au im literally just switching my headcanons from what i have in the already canon universe 😭 for simplicity imma just say my genderbend au gender/sexuality hcs before i actually get into explaining dynamics and stuff (under cut since this is a ramble-y post)
nico - transfem genderfluid lesbian, she/he
jason - transneutral nb bi, they/she
reyna - transfem gay, he/they
piper - transneutral queer, they/he/she
also cw for talks of dysphoria and queerphobia
okay so first off wlw jasico bc yes. i love them sm. nico deals with a lot of dysphoria and comphet, a good deal of that comes from growing up closeted in the 30s. she's still got the idea that all "real" girls settle down with a nice guy and start a family, which she doesn't want, so it causes her a deal of dysphoria. after she spends some time at cj, she makes good friends with reyna and jason, both of whom are openly queer at the time. jason being bi and reyna being trans as well. they share experiences and help her learn to accept and love the fact that she's trans and a lesbian. eventually, he and jason develop feelings for each other but keep their relationship private. not necessarily secret, but they didn't go around telling everyone about the details and intricacies of their relationship.
now onto mlm pipeyna. i really like the idea of transmasc lesbian reyna in the normal pjoverse so naturally in a genderbent au im a sucker for the idea of transfem gay reyna. i think reyna would come to terms with himself fairly easily, given the fact that he doesn't really wanna change much about himself??? i see him still going by he/him pronouns because of familiarity and adding they/them pronouns to the list. both sets offer a certain kind of comfort for two entirely different reasons. they knew they liked guys since they were like 11 and basically just said "oh. yeah ok we'll go with this." didn't really tell anyone, just kinda let them figure it out when they never talked about any girls they liked and mentioned his various boyfriends he's had over the years. they're not too invested in romance but enjoy it and are a overall very good partner. piper i think probably took more time to accept themself, but when they did they had a very "oh you don't like it? sucks ig" attitude towards people who gave her shit about it. so im very much lead to believe that the two of them were comfortable with each other right off the bat and eventually developed feelings for one another. reyna took more time to develop feelings i think, but eventually were cool with how they saw piper and asked him out.
this was me when i saw this ask
Tumblr media
ty for letting me ramble about this 😭 <33

Hii I id as a bi lesbian for several reasons
I used to constantly question whether I was actually bi or whether the attraction I sometimes experienced to men was comphet and I've given up trying to figure out my "true" identity
I feel like I might best be described as bi but with like a 75% preference for women (and like 20% genderqueer ppl and 5% men) so it feels weird to call myself bi if I'm mostly attracted to one gender
There are times when the reason I am not attracted to someone is because they're a man (even though once a blue moon I do feel attracted to men?)
I'm genderfluid and also sometimes attracted to other genderqueer people and adding the bi to the identity feels more inclusive to people that don't strictly id as women, since even though I find the lesbian label valid and comfy doesn't mean that other genderqueers do
When I do experience attraction to men, I don't really experience romantic attraction, but I definitely experience that with women and other genderqueers
Id-ing as a lesbian has been really validating for my gender identity
No real life queer person I have talked to about my identity (including many lesbians and genderqueer people) has given a shit that I call myself a bi lesbian
The only place I have seen negative discourse/people arguing about whether you can be both is Tumblr (and some Twitter screenshots)
It doesn't hurt anyone?? And feels right for me?? So I don't get why people on the Internet care so much. It just feels like a rehash of gold-star gay discourse (which is kinda transphobic tbh)
(and there are also many other reasons people choose to use that label and seeing your asks was literally the first time I've ever seen someone say it is a transphobe thing)
(also trans men and lesbians have been fucking each other since the dawn of time and it doesn't mean that they were invalidating each other's identities)
(also people splitting up lesbian and bi identities is a relatively new thing. Historically lesbian just meant wlw.)

Love having my sexuality invalidated by my queer friend group
So I'm bisexual & maybe bigender (still figuring it out), my friend is pan & genderfluid, & two of my other friends are bicurious.
One of our friends was showing us some characters from BG3, & he was like "oh so and so character takes being bi to a whole other level." I joked, "Bi? On another level? Can't imagine it, I'm already there."
My pan & one of my bicurious friends immediately were like "What are you talking about, that's just pan!1!1!" and started laughing. I had to try so hard to not to start something bc they know how I feel abt shit like that.
So I guess if you absolutely needed to """properly""" categorize me, I'm "technically" pan. I am attracted to people regardless of gender, & I have no gender preference. If I think you're hot, I think you're hot - end of story.
I choose to ID as bi for a couple reasons, but the main one is that I'm comfy w it. Plus I want to fight against biphobia/bi erasure by IDing as bi & showing people that it doesn't mean "bi ppl only means attraction to cis men & women."
My friends have heard my explanations about the different mspec labels numerous times. They know they're all different and nuanced but they're all under the same umbrella. I've even tried to educate my one pan friend to stop using pan to say "I'm attracted to men, women, AND trans people!1!” bc it implies that trans people can't be categorized under men & women.
It's just so hurtful to think that my friends have bought into the rhetoric that my sexuality is ""basic"" or "on a lower level" than pan bc it's "not woke." Because it "only includes 2 cis genders." That's not what bisexuality is, & it's never been that way since the term was coined.
I've explained this to them numerous times & it feels like it always falls on deaf ears - even though I'm always respectful & cognizant of their sexualities and exploration of such.
I sincerely wish it wasn't so painfully obvious that my friends still don't understand bisexuality - a fundamental part of who I am - and make hurtful comments that invalidate me.

it only depends on if you feel as if bisexuality doesnt include nonbinary for whatever reason (historically bisexuality has included all genders and means "more than one". i identified as pan in highschool but now identify with bisexuality, and i will date someone regardless of their gender, if that helps)
Well, it's sort of a semantics issue, isn't it? If bisexuality is "more than one" gender, and pansexuality is "all" genders, then if we were to make a Venn diagram of it, there's a great deal of overlap, but it would not make a full circle. Bisexuality, being "more than one", CAN include - but not necessarily includes - all genders. Pansexuality ALWAYS includes all genders. It seems to me that bisexuality is open to some interpretation, depending on the person who identifies as such. Whereas pansexuality is what it is, by nature of being all-encompassing when it comes to attraction.
The sticking point for me is that bisexuality also includes multi-gender attraction that is limited to specific genders, but not others. (Obviously no judgment there - people are attracted to what they're attracted to.) Some bisexual people are attracted to strictly men and women, or strictly male-spectrum genders, or strictly female-spectrum genders, etc. I don't think bisexuality is to the exclusion of non-binary attraction. Not at all. I just think one's "flavor" of bisexuality is VERY subjective.
My previous interpretation of my bisexuality (or, more accurately, biromanticism) was that I like men and women. As I've become more educated on the fullness of gender (with LOTS of learning left to go, of course) and that it IS a spectrum and not carefully delineated boxes people fit into, I don't know how well-defined my attraction is either. As I come to know more non-binary and genderqueer and genderfluid people, I find I'm attracted to some of them in the same way I might be to a man or a woman. That's different from what I thought before, because I know better now. So I'm reassessing.
Might I still be bi? Maybe. Might I be pan instead? Maybe. Is such a distinction even valuable to me? Maybe. Like I said, I'm trying to figure it out.

i've been at girl events and felt the same way. the more gender expectations, the more isolating it feels. this led me to see myself as agender. that helped for a bit. but when the women around me saw me as agender, my discomfort deepened. it took ages to figure out why. as an AFAB attracted to AFABs, i always felt like the "other" in a room full of women. like i missed "womanhood 101." i really just missed "heterosexuality 101." talking with lesbian and bi women, i found i wasn't alone in that
I'm fully comfortable with my genderfluid identity i'm just still not used to introducing it to other people. I'm like fully out to only one other person at work and i'm only comfortable with that because they're nonbinary and we've been able to have a lot of conversations about gender that are just such a relief. It's such a relief to be around someone else with similar experiences, you know? And to be able to be open and honest with someone in person. And the only real reason i'm not used to being uncomfortable in women-only spaces is because i've been excluded from them so much growing up because i was "different", this is the first time i've really been invited into that space and it was purely accidental lmao. With my career field I'm more likely to wind up in men-only spaces and I've kind of gotten used to that

hi i am so sorry like sorry if you dont want to or feel uncomfortable answering this question then please you do not need to but i was wondering what you have been gender identifying yourself as over the years? because same here, i am also in the same boat and i have been saying i am an aroace bi and i want to use pan but i dont want to use that when i havent really stepped foot out that far but i dont know it makes me confuse like i dont know if this even makes sense
hey! honestly i don't mind answering at all! please don't apologise ☺️💙💜 i've gone through a few labels am ngl because gender is weird, this got a bit long so i'll put it under the cut :)
when i first realised i wasn't cis (which was when i think i was 17-18 i can't remember) i went by non-binary and not long after that genderfluid as well but then i realised genderfluid didn't really fit anymore (i think i mostly identified with genderfluid because i was scared/a little bit of internalised nonbinaryphobia perhaps because i considered my self fluid between my agab & agender)
so after that i started to go by non-binary & agender (i also like gendervoid as well), i still think i am both non-binary and agender but there are times where i think maybe i might be fluid or flux (oh irony) on the masc side but i also think not because it happens usually when i'm dysphoric
my gender crisises happen either when i'm about to get my period (usually about a week before) and i tend to want to strip away everything related to my AGAB (this one of the reasons why i've taken my other pronouns out of my bio) and when i get misgendered a lot because i don't actually have people i'm out to irl so i don't have anyone to bounce my pronouns, gender related terms, and my name off of so i can't really tell if i like those used for me (that's why i'm really grateful that a lot of my oomfs/mutuals use my name when they talk to me/about me 💙💜) and personally i think i come across androgonous but no one else in real life sees it that way 😅😔
my agenderness is very much similar to my aroaceness how i didn't realise what i felt (or rather didn't feel) was different to everyone else so for a long time i thought i was cis and then the gates slowly started opening when i discovered my sexuality (yeah i figured that out before my gender 😂 actually i think discovering asexuality specficially helped me in discovering that i'm agender because they're very similar for me in a lot of senses, esp my journey with them both)
& it does make sense please don't worry! questioning anything is scary and daunting and you don't really know where to begin i understand completely 💙💜 and you can use which ever labels you want! i know people who go by both bi and pan, which ever label feels more you. You don't have to fit a label perfectly to try it out, and you don't need to use a label at all ☺️ (me @ me take your own advice 😂)
this why i love umbrella terms for my gender like non-binary and genderqueer (which is why i tend to say i'm non-binary over agender) because gender is weird and sometimes you can't understand it but that's okay because gender is different for everyone
this is why i love to use queer to encompass my whole identity (gender & sexuality) because it wraps it all in a neat box and it saves having to explain everything that usually comes with telling people my complicated gender or sexuality lol
& even if in the end you realise you're not that label it's okay! there's nothing wrong with realising you were wrong sometimes you need to stop off somewhere for a detour to figure yourself out before reaching your final destination 💙💜
my ask box is always open if you want to talk some more 💙💜

How did you figure out you were ace?
Oooh, that's a difficult question! I figured it out when I was about 16ish? Though in my head, it's 14, even though I know that's not right, because I was 14 in my freshman year of high school, but I didn't figure things out until my junior or senior year. Part of that is because in my junior year, I discovered that we had a Gay-Straight Alliance at my school and my friend group kinda accidentally took it over. But as you can imagine, no one there knew about asexuality. Hell, bisexuality was still considered kinda "new" in that way where it's not new at all, but it's a scary new concept to consider. (Which is ironic 'cause like, half the group was probably bi).
I cannot remember for sure, because my memory is like swiss cheese, but I think I found the term "asexual" online. I know I found "genderfluid" on a prompt meme on livejournal, so maybe asexual came from somewhere similar for me. But the important thing was, I suddenly realized that like... oh. Other people experience attraction. It's not just that I'm oblivious, it's that I'm literally uninterested.
So of course I immediately ran home to tell my dad, 'cause he had set up a workshop in the garage, so when my friends dropped me off at home, he'd have the garage open and I'd talk to him first and we'd talk politics and shit. And WOW was not expecting that hit of emotion, but for context, my dad died on New Year's Day this year.
Um, anyway. I was lucky. I don't think anyone had ever heard of asexuality before, but I was VERY gungho about coming out and told basically everyone lol. And at first, my definition actually wasn't quite right, because I didn't understand the differences between sexual desire, sex drive, sexual attraction, and having sex. But I actually used to do talks at universities and stuff where I'd be on a panel with other PFLAG folks and I'd share about asexuality. That's one of the reasons I AM so out and proud - 'cause maybe someone else out there has never heard of it before, but now they've SEEN an example of it being real. And if one of their friends comes out to them, they can be all "oh hey, I've heard of that!" And idk, that could mean a lot to someone.
I should probably clarify that my friends and family were all loving and supportive, if in need of education (as I was). And being asexual was really, really important to me for a long time, and it still is, but once I got my tattoos, it almost... idk, settled something in me? And then I started to become disabled, so that kinda took precedence.
Tumblr media
This is my tattoo! (Well, one of them. I have 11 currently)
From left to right: Asexual flag, Genderfluid flag, Queer flag, Polyamorous flag, and Aromantic flag. They're spades because that's a thing in the aspec community, making jokes about card suits and such. The Ace of Spades was supposed to stand for being aroace. But also, they just look cool lol.
For the sake of education, 'cause you never know who is hearing these terms for the first time, I'm gonna put definitions under the cut.
Asexual - does not experience sexual attraction. This is different from having a sex drive or being horny or desiring sex. Attraction is targetted at a person, and when you've never experienced it, it can be kinda hard to figure out. But allosexual people can look at someone aesthetically pleasing and a natural line of thought might be "wow, they're pretty" -> "damn, that's a nice ass" -> "wonder what they'd be like in bed". Now for me, that was pretty foreign, because my thought process was something like "wow, they're pretty! Huh, I wonder if I could find earrings like that!"
Genderfluid - under the trans umbrella (as in, not-cis. That's the only requirement for that umbrella and despite what my internal transphobia said for years, yes, you ARE trans enough to use the label if you want to). Genderfluid literally means your gender changes fluidly. I would usually describe it as "some days I'll wake up a girl (rarely), some days I'll wake up a guy (more common), some days I'll wake up with no gender (decently common), and some days I'll wake up with ALL the genders (probably pretty often lol)". The idea is that it changes from moment to moment and can lie anywhere on the gender spectrum - including not being on it at all!
Queer - okay, y'all probably know this one, but just to be clear: queer is a term inclusive of ALL identities that are not cisheteronormative. Period. To me, it is the most inclusive term for our community and I will never let people try to shame me into stopping use of a term that MANY trans women of color fought and died for. We're here, we're queer, and we're damned proud of it.
Polyamorous - interest in and ability to love and commit to multiple people at the same time. Basically, the opposite of monogamy, though the two are not in conflict. Someone polyamorous can be exclusively committed to someone monogamous and likewise someone monogamous could be commited to someone who is polyamorous and has other relationships. This is an important one to me because, even though I don't really do dating, I do have a queer platonic partner (@professorpineapple my love!) and it's important to me that people KNOW that I am polyamorous, because so few people understand what it means. And I think the real root of it is that love is love. Literally. Whether it's romantic or platonic, friendship or family, love is love and we all need a lot of love in our lives. Seriously, humans were meant to exist in communities. Society holds up romance as this "top tier" relationship type, and not only is that false, it's actively damaging. People are told to put all of their needs into one single person and it doesn't matter who you are - no one can fulfill all your needs all the time. You're supposed to have a COMMUNITY of people who support you in different ways as you need.
Aromantic - This is asexuality's romantic cousin. Where asexual = no sexual attraction, aromantic = no romantic attraction. Now, this is difficult to define for me, because I literally only found out last month that like... romance is an actual emotion people feel???? I still don't really get it tbh. But basically, it's a specific kind of desire to be with someone in a romantic sense. And this is tricky, because there's no clear action that is, by definition, romantic. ANY behavior can be romanic if those involved consider it so. Likewise, those same behaviors could be platonic if those involved consider them platonic. So like, kissing + holding hands + cuddling + stuff like that? Does not necessarily mean romance. And that can be hard for people to understand. But I think it's important to note that, while I personally am 100% a spinster, aromantic people, just like asexual people, can and do have romantic and sexual relationships. Being aromantic does not mean you are incapable of love, even though society's emphasis on romance as the "real" love makes it hard to believe.
I wanna expand on asexuality and aromanticism a little bit, because idk, I wish someone had told me this stuff when I was still questioning and figuring things out. If you are aspec (meaning on EITHER/BOTH the aromantic or asexual spectrum), you might experience a lower sex drive/be a "late bloomer". I say this because I was, and it's part of why I mis-defined asexuality for so long. Asexuality does not mean a lack of a sex drive or even lack of interest in sex. All it means is that you do not experience sexual attraction to people. Period. That's it. So now we're gonna go into TMI territory, because I think it's important to talk about. Asexuals can and do have sex. Asexuals can and are kinky. This does not mean that every asexual is interested in sex in any way, shape, or form. There are people who are completely sex-repulsed - and that isn't limited to only asexual people either. But like, I'm aroace and I write romantic porn literally all the fucking time. Kinky romantic porn. I've never had sex with another person and I'm not fully sure I ever want to, though would be nice to experience cunnilingus on both sides of it. I do masturbate all the fucking time. I mean, literally, I write porn! So yeah, I get off to my porn, though I've never actually had an orgasm and I'm told that's a shame. Frankly, sub/dom space seems more appealing than an orgasm, but I've never experienced that either, so what can you do? I like to think it's like when you hit that perfect level of high where you're floaty and nothing matters and you just feel good and vibe.
Anyway, I bring this up because a decade ago, I knew I was aroace, but I didn't know the first thing about kink, except that bdsm was something you could whisper and giggle over without actually knowing what it meant. Now? For never having experienced most of it personally, I'm... kind of a secondhand expert on kink lmao. The point is: lack of sexual attraction (or romantic attraction) means only that - lack of attraction. It does not define behavior. So yes, asexual people can enjoy and seek out sex and aromantic people can date and fall in love and get married and shit. And we've always existed, even before we had the terminology for it.
This is long and rambly, but I hope someone gets something out of it! If nothing else, you can now say that you've met some weirdo on the internet who was queer x4 and also kinky and wordy as fuck lmao

OK so I've been reading JJBA lately and like I'm constantly thinking "none of them are straight or cis, damn" so I'm just gonna write my headcanons about that! Also bits of au since I have ships, dammit.
(also, on a totally unrelated note : live fast die young by Hollywood undead is totally a Jojo song right?)
Jonathan - super omniromantic and also poly. In a relationship with Erina and Speedwagon. He just loves a lot 😔 he (weirdly, seeing when and where he grow up) doesn't really have any internalized homophobia. He loves who he loves and anyone disagreeing will catch his hands ! Or his words. Which are quite deadly too! Plus, the man he loves doesn't even identifies as a man, so ah. In your face homophobes.
Erina - demigirl and greysexual. She never really understood she was demigirl before meeting Speedwagon because she's a lady and nobles aren't educated on LGBT+ things I guess? She's dating Jonathan and is in a queerplatonic relationship with Speedwagon cause they're best friends fight me >:)
Speedwagon - agender, demisexual and very much into men. He doesn't even knows what gender is okay! But goes by male pronouns cause men are more respected in the streets or something?? He thinks it's kinda stupid since women are like super powerful when they want to but gotta do whatever it takes to survive in the streets right?? He just doesn't cares. He knows a lot about LGBT+ things since in the streets there are all sorts of people. When he explained how being agender felt to Erina she was like "oH" and after some talking they figure out that Erina is like one of Speedwagon's friends who kinda felt like a girl but not really (Speedwagon secretly organizes a meeting between this friend and Erina cause he knows how good it is to have someone who understands. The two girls become close friends). He's dating Jonathan and had a hard time accepting that someone like that was interested in him 😔 he's in a queerplatonic relationship with Erina cause they're platonic soulmates :D
Dio - this asshole is bigender and bisexual! A whole lot of internalized transphobia and homophobia since his dad was Like That™. He repressed absolutely everything, which might have been one of the reasons why he hated Jonathan, an out (or at least as out as one can be not knowing the word omnisexual or even pan or bi) and proud omnisexual. He was jealous. His internalized homophobia got better when he became a vampire but the transphobia? Nope, still here. Still an asshole, tho.
Joseph - BI BI BI. So, so bi. Also demiboy. Most of the time he's kinda a man but also *shrugs*. He knows the words for it since Erina and Speedwagon explained it to him but doesn't really cares cause it's just him! He is who he is, who cares! He was kinda in denial about his crush on Caesar until the final battle when he almost died. He honestly wasn't expecting for them both to survive so he isn't gonna throw this second chance away! Also very much ADHD.
Suzie Q - the biggest lesbian. Also Ace. Had an enormous crush on Lisa Lisa but it was more like... A puppy crush. Kinda. I mean come on 😔 Lisa Lisa is just so badass. She agreed to be a surrogate mother (is that the right word?) for Joseph and Caesar since they wanted children. She adopted Caesar as a little brother the first time she saw him.
Caesar - pan and genderfluid. He leans more towards the non-binary areas of the spectrum. He uses male pronouns for the same reason that Speedwagon did (they bond over it). He wasn't as in denial as Joseph about his crush, more exasperated about it. Like "this idiot??? Really ?? Do i just have bad taste??" he's quietly desperate. He doesn't really thinks his feelings are returned cause... You know (swift look to my "Caesar has self-esteem issues" headcanon). Of course this changes after the final battle. He really wanted children and loves Holly with all his heart. She's just too god for this world. He was surprised when Suzie declared him her little brother, like, three hours after meeting him,but it was nice? He likes having a sister *shrugs*.
Jotaro - demisexual and demiromantic. Otherwise, pan. Trans man :) He thought he was Aro-ace for a long, long time because really he didn't have any attachments. Until he met Kakyoin :D then he goes "oH this is what Mom and grandpa Caesar were talking about! It's. Weird. But nice??" he kinda... Likes being in love? It's nice and warm and hmmm he just likes it. It's even better since his feelings are requited.
Kakyoin - genderfluid! Also into men and greysexual (also autistic but like... This post isn't really about these headcanons) He's close friends with Caesar even with their age gap. He just never really met anyone who... Understood, you know. Never really had friends before. Also because I think that Caesar and Kakyoin would really be great friends :) he had a crush on Jotaro since pretty much... Half of their travel? It didn't take that long to be requited, really.
Avdol - gay Trans man! Honestly he thinks (jokingly... Or not) of himself as a moronsexual cause really Polnareff IS a moron.
Polnareff - also gay! Cis but likes to wear women's clothing from time to time? It's just comfy and pretty? *shrugs* he and Avdol are this "opposites attract" couple and honestly sometimes he wonders what he did to deserve someone like Avdol.
OK so I'm reading diamond is unbreakable right now and goddamn Josuke is such a sweetheart. I love him :D
Koichi : Bi :) and questioning his gender.
Josuke : Bigender! Demiromantic pan. He just can't imagine dating someone he isn't close of and I mean it's understandable! He's on the Ace spectrum too. Absolutely not neurotypical.
Yukako - Trans girl :D she doesn't really feels a lot of dysphoria cause she's well aware that she's beautiful but sometimes, rarely, it's kind of :/ but Koichi is always here to help her feel better :)
Okuyasu - non-binary! He just honestly doesn't gets the difference between being a man and a woman and how it feels?? Like what the fuck is gender guys. What the fuck. He's kinda confused (am I projecting my own confusion?? Maybe). He uses male pronouns cause his brother called him that so *shrugs* he's just used to it at this point? But when he tells his friends they ask him if he wants to experiment with different pronouns and he goes "uh. Yeah?" turns out he *really* likes ne/nem/Nir it's NICE. ADHD, so much ADHD. A sort of disaster omni that will have a sort of platonic crush on pretty much half of his friends but nothing too serious until he gets a real crush and then oh boy it's panic time.
Mikitaka - Non-binary! He doesn't even knows that humans are using a binary gender system (?). His pronouns are *shrug* he goes with whatever. Doesn't cares. He's also greyaro and Ace and in a queerplatonic relationship with Toyohiro Kanedaichi (oh my gods they were roommates). I would have said autistic but maybe he's just like that because he's an alien?
Toyohiro Kaneichi - agender and agenderflux. Also Aro-ace. Since they're cut off from society they can wear whatever they want and do whatever they want so... Yeah. They're the biggest anti-social ever and honestly mood. Also autistic and in a queerplatonic relationship with Mikitaka :) they're really happy to have someone who gets them to keep them company cause they may not want to get out of their tower but being alone full time kinda sucks.
Yuya fungami - Trans man! Poly and Pan. He and his girlfriends are all dating each other (if you tell me the girls aren't dating each other too I won't believe you) and honestly man they're just so pure this man is powered by his love for his girlfriends and I'm pretty sure those girlfriends could like take Kira out easily if they wanted to or were aware of his existence. He got a lot of dysphoria but his girlfriends are here to support him fully - one of them is Trans too and they all help each other :) (with cuddling because I really like the image). Yuya is kind of a asshole but he's still nice and respects his girlfriends so much 😔 they're all best friends and each other's... Support system? Moral support? I mean they all make each other happy and I really like their relationship.
I finished Vento aureo!! It's good!! It seemed so short tho, like it lasted what a week?? But it was good.
Bruno : cis pan man :) I already knew he was a Mom™ because of Tumblr but damn. He really is a mom. He always knew that he was pan and his dad was very supportive :) also I have this headcanon that he can sort of perform chest surgery with his zippers?? Like... I don't know why, but it's a headcanon I have? And that he helped young LGBT people in the streets, like to buy binders or find a support group :) he also has high-functioning autism and is dating Abbacchio. (tbh I headcanon him as cis solely because this man radiates trans/non-binary energy, so my mind decided that it would be funny if he actually wasn't, he's just the biggest trans ally ever)
Abbacchio : Bigender and dating Bruno. He never really... Thought about gender until he was already in the police, and then it was uh. Kind of a bad idea to be anything else than cishet. So he just... Repressed? Until he met Bruno and his kids, who helped him figure himself out. It was really nice to be able to wear dresses and such without feeling bad about it. He still feels some internalized transphobia because hey, years of repression don't go away that easily, but the gang is here to help him if it's bad and to leave him alone of he needs it :) also he has depression which is bad but his support system is good and he is improving :)
Mista : Bi ! Cis but he's the biggest, most enthusiastic trans ally (with Bruno). He considers himself Fugo's and Giorno's big brother (and Narancia's Best Bro™ with all those awful Bro jokes, I hate those but it's in character). Also he got some ADHD but like it's not too bad? It's more hyperactivity-impulsivity than attention deficit.
Narancia : some kind of non-binary but they're not sure which one and tbh they don't really care ? Like they're just... Vibing. Idk. They're just themselve ! (also. The sheer number of "I identify as an attack helicopter" jokes) greyace and greyaro, and the nastiest ADHD ever.
Giorno : Trans man, and also gay :D he rarely has any dysphoria moments but when he does, the gang is here for him :) he's Ace! (also I was thinking about him having OCD, but I'm not sure if it's valid since I don't know a lot of things about OCD).
Fugo : agender and nebularomantic ! (actually Fugo is my favorite character so i might be projecting a bit) They're autistic and let me tell you, I had a headcanon about them having serious anger issues before I knew that it was canon. They absolutely love having words to describe themselves because their parents were just. So transphobic and homophobic *sigh* but when they met Bruno, all genuinely got better. They really like labels and they're proud of their orientation :) which is kind of why Narancia's refusal to label themselves kind of angers Fugo. It's not that it's not valid!! No!! Fugo supports Narancia fully!! It's just that they don't understand not wanting to know exactly what you are and it ticks them off that Narancia CAN find out exactly what are his labels but doesn't. They have some sensory issues and most of the time, a meltdown mean Purple Haze, which Fugo absolutely does not like. They have purple noise-canceling headphones and a purple strawberry chewing necklace. They stim a lot, and at first they tried to disguise it as, you know, the "talking with hands"? (because let me tell you, with their parents, they would have been forced to hide that they're autistic. As such, they can pass as neurotypical with effort, but now they don't have to) but now they don't see why they would hide it, since the whole gang supports them :) they really don't like tight clothes, it itches, hence the holes.
(can you tell I absolutely dig the found family trope?)
Gonna edit this post as I read the manga.
