mega thread What is your sexuality ?

It's been a recent revelation of sorts for me, but increasingly I think I am aromantic. To what degree, I don't know yet, but I still do indulge in the degenerate habit of watching porn and I know I'm straight since I still feel physical attraction to others of the opposite sex. So I'm fairly certain I am not asexual. Despite all that I never once had a girlfriend in my life, nor do I have desire for one, let alone marriage. I have openly told several of my relatives that I don't care for marriage, but I only go to weddings as a matter of family obligation and to show support.

Not to offend anyone, but I really don't care for intimacy, public or otherwise. I can appreciate sincere love among couples, but many of the public displays of romance or those fictionally portrayed seem overly sappy and clingy to me. But that may just be me speaking as  an aromantic. I will say watching Bojack Horseman and learning about Todd Chavez helped me understand these issues much better. I probably wouldn't even be aware of aromanticism, let alone asexuality. 

It may not seem a big deal to some but for someone who has that pressure to marry, get a job and start a family, I can't help but fixate on my revelation.

Not physically like damn im like an nfl linebacker

Don't be so harsh with yourself, there're cis women out there who could probably throw NFL linebackers if they wanted to.  There're also butch women out there who regularly get thrown out of the women's restroom because they're mistaken as men.  What I'm trying to say is, is that cis women have it rough trying to fulfill the status quo of what a "feminine women" looks like.  It's hard enough putting trans-feminine folks in with them too since they're at more of a disadvantage in some regards.  I really think trying to fit this mold for how to be feminine or masculine can become pretty toxic for trans folks.  I'm not MTF but I am FTM so I can kinda understand the toxicity that can creep into the trans community sometimes.  My advice would be to stop caring about "passing", define who you are as a person instead of letting peer pressure get the worst of you.  Passing isn't that big of a deal but I understand the safety behind it, especially if you're in a place that's more conservative and we all don't have the privilege to pack up and move when something becomes toxic for us.

You can't just ignore all the social pressure of passing. People DO react, whether anyone likes it or not. I don't know how I'm just supposed to ignore getting thrown out of the bathroom/complained about and the constant creepy stares if I were to go out trying to buy or even just wear women's clothes. Like sorry but I can't just be myself without all the backlash that inevitably makes me feel awful. Though forcing myself to not be myself is also painful. Damn, this sucks

The problem is that society is very judgmental towards transgender people and people who are experiencing/have experienced gender dysphoria.

Unfortunately, yes we do suffer that problem. :( Even if it weren't there, even the perception that society might be that way is still very harmful.

Straight white male here. Huh. Kind of funny when you say it out loud. :P

Long the presumed default, now seems odd to say it :)

(might need to add "cisgender" in there someplace too :D )

Phew I have always had trouble figuring that out. And I really dislike labels.

I do not care what gender my partner is. I only care for their personality, not what's between their legs. Might also add that I am female with androgynous traits.

Also I feel like I am mostly asexual?
