LGBT people in the playground - part II

[SMEE]

Welcome.

This is a thread were we, LGBT people, use to discuss, share our experiences, give general advice and support.

Of course, everyone is welcome to post their views regarding the matter here.
I just ask that we keep this topic free of politics and religion. It's beyond the scope of this thread to discuss whether LGBT is "right" or "not".
Let us not post sexually explicit content as well, okay?

If you would rather ask for advice or post your story or your view regarding the matter, you can use the address below to send an anonymous message to be posted in this thread.

Keep in mind that content which contain strong language may be filtered, and content that goes against the forum rules won't be posted at all.

Here's the link for the first thread, where much useful information lies:

And to start...
It seems I have only a few weeks left before I have to go full time... Almost no one belives I'm male when I'm in guy mode... I tend to be called ma'am when shopping or walking around...
This is clearly a sign that guy mode isn't working anymore...

Now, let us continue with our schedule.

[LightWraith]

Awesome, new thread! Thanks SMEE!

I don't have much else to say really, except that I'm still open to PMs if anyone needs advice. Not saying I'd be good at it... but I'll try.

[Phae Nymna]

W00t! Third post! and congratulations to Bea!

[Collin152]

Ah, I get in on the ground floor of this one.
Have I mentioned how much I love beign me latley?
In spite of all the difficulties it presents, I'm just so happy with my identity. I think I'll sing. So, uh, I'll buy you all earplugs, hmm?

[Serpentine]

Not to burst your bubble, Smee, but Goff gets called "miss" and the like all the time, even after he cut his hair short, and he has sideburns, stubble and a cleft chin But yeah, I'm glad for you.
<.<
Is there any point my reposting my graph? Hey, we could put the whole Playground on it!

[Collin152]

The chart and all of our positions on it?


Genius!

[Dryken]

Mmmm....that new thread smell. Smells like...Jasmine I think.

I just want to say how happy I am that the hormones are really doing their job. I don't totally "pass" yet (still getting more sir's than anything else), but I AM quite obviously confusing a lot of people with my appearance and that's better than nothing!

Also, I just recently bought myself an adorable little pill case for me estrogen:

That's actually be pretty cool. DOT EEEEEEET!

[Collin152]

Then again, the top of the graph is gunna get awfuly crowded.

[Phae Nymna]

^Make it bigger. We'll have a giant one host somewhere and someone with a bulletin board can Kinko's the thing and have a manual diagram too.

Desperate, well meaning, and entirely non-joking invitation to a week of fun with people in das playground. Short notice compared to other ones, but whatevah. For details see below.

Oh, and I might as well. If you (yes, you!) want to have fun at a (semi) traditional Oktoberfest, come to New Orleans. We'll have a gay old time (Puns Included!) and celebrate what's worth celebrating- ourselves. I am not liable if we are murdered, mugged, pickpocketed, or if we end up in Detroit. I won't be drinking, so I'll keep an eye on people. C'mon, I'm desperate here. It'll be fun. (Fun as in, "Pay for your own admission, food, transportation, and lodgings.) But seriously, I can't make any other Meet Up or Get Together. HELP ME!

Please don't act like I'm the weirdest person you've ever met. Maybe next year with more planning or something. I dunno.

[Dryken]

Alright, I'm lost here. What graph?

[Dihan]

Hehe SMEE made the thread after all!

It's this graph:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Grongrats on the new thread guys/girls/in between.

*flees*

[Calamity]

Then again, the top of the graph is gunna get awfuly crowded.

I wouldn't place myself near the top of the graph. I'd probably be slightly below the centre.

So, most people I know don't know I'm bi. What troubles me the most though, is that the person I feel most comfortable about telling, can't keep his mouth shut.

Now I know what some people might think, that how can he be my friend if I can't trust him? Well the thing is we've been friends since primary school, and despite revealing things I didn't want him to reveal in the past he has always, always respected what I tell him despite the fact that a lot of people wouldn't. It's usually a case of him not realising what he's saying.


I have other friends who have been more trustworthy in the past... but I'm afraid that they won't take me seriously. Oh, I've never been good at my handling my own secrets.

[Devin]

Hello, all. I love the pill case and I'm completely on the gay side of the chart.

[Serpentine]

I tweaked and/or updated l' graph. Here's the small version:


...and the large:

V Dang, I was hoping it'd be alright. What's the biggest size that won't cause screen stretch? Also: Cool

[Calamity]

Yup, that's where I'd place me alright.

Can you spoiler the large one though? It's screen-stretchy.

[LightWraith]

Nice chart Serp, thanks for making it up! It didn't stretch my screen, but I don't think much will (2560x1600... love my 30inch monitor).

I'd probably be in the upper left.. (2,2), maybe (2,3). I consider my 100% homosexual, but I'm not arrogant enough to say that there couldn't be any remote infinitesimal chance that attraction to a woman could occur. As for the Y-axis... yeah.

[RabbitHoleLost]

So, here's a question for my fellow people who couldn't care about gender less...
Or lesbians.
Lesbians would work, too..

Always before, gender never really mattered to me. I oogled and admired boy and girls equally, an equal opportunity lech.
Recently, though, I've found my oogling tends more to women. Like, much, much more. Its very rare that a man catches my eye.
And I feel really silly for asking this, but... is this normal to have such a shift in tastes, or am I being taken over to the darkside?

[SMEE]

Regarding the chart... I'd be in the middle of the X axis... and middle way to the top of the Y axis.

Rabbit: Nah, it's quite normal. I used to ogle neither gender, now I mostly ogle guys... and... wow... there are some good looking guys around... <.<
I too ogle girls sometimes, but it's mostly guys...

[Terraoblivion]

Looking at the chart i would say i am probably at 2 on the X axis and haven't got much of a clue on where i stand on the Y axis, so probably somewhere around the middle.

I just really like girls and have a hard time imagining myself being attracted to men, but i cannot say that men repulse me nor will i completely reject the concept that i might like the personality of a man enough to be attracted to him. It would have to be pretty immensely impressive though. As for amount of sex i like i really don't have any experience actually having sex which makes it pretty much impossible to determine. I know that i am not asexual nor focused solely on it though.

As for "passing" i have to admit i have no idea how well i do it. People here tend to be polite enough to say nothing directly and when nobody ever addresses others with titles it is practically impossible to tell. I know that a lot of the local stores know about me, simply because they recognize me from before, but beyond that i have no real clue, though i try to tell myself that i do it just fine.

[Jibar]

Say... if you were a...
14, 15.5
You fall off classification on that chart.

15,15 for me.
Hey, it could be a fun new thing. Even if it pushes at the boundaries of PG13 a bit.

[Dallas-Dakota]

16-ish, I´m straight....
And for hypersexual - a sexual thingy, place me on the line, for I´m not quite that age yet.

[Dihan]

I'm about 10,13 on the chart.

[Ethrael]

Ooh! Chart me please! I'm thinking I'm about (9,15) but I would change quite occasionally so if you don't want to that's fine by me...

[Lyesmith]

It is X, then Y, right? Right?
7, 8-9 for me, I think.

[The Extinguisher]

I'd put myself at about (12,17)
The concept of being in a sexual relationship with someone of any gender freaks me out.

And I still think it should be nonsexual, as being asexual is something different and isn't really covered on the chart. It belongs more on the x-axis than the y, but still doesn't fit there.

[Thufir]

I'm about (12,9), maybe (12,8) I think.

[LightWraith]

It is X, then Y, right? Right?
7, 8-9 for me, I think.

Yeah, as a general rule, X is the horizontal, Y is the vertical. Since they aren't defined as such it doesn't have to be, but labeling them the Sex/Gender Preference-Axis and the Enjoyment/Interest in Sexual Activities-Axis could become a bit tedious

[Lyesmith]

Yeah. I remember it like stairs. First you go along, then you go up!
(There are reasons m confidence in my own mathematical abilities is low.)
