Still cannot believe I had my first threesome this past Saturday. It was a really good time 😅

So after some time, I’m back.

May 2021-all of 2022 was collectively the worse time of my life. I’ve never experienced so much continuous grief. Now I’m here trying to pick myself up, so I don’t fall deeper into depression, anxiety, and OCD. Have plans to meet up with some folks I connected with on Lex and I’m honestly not really expecting much.

I really just want to be loved and held without all the drama I’ve gone through. I don’t know that that will happen this year, but I’m trying to make new connections at least.

Is it just me or is something up with the app? I can only see handful of followers and their content, but when I log on via a web browser all is fine.

"Deadass" is a question, reaction & confirmation

Know your history:

Gay:

Used to mean carefree

Then sexually deviant

Then prostitute

Then slut

Then sodomite

And THEN as we know it today but only as a slur

Reclaimed in the seventies

LGBT:

Invented in the nineties

Has faced constant backlash (from both straight, queer, and LGBT folks from being not inclusive enough or too inclusive)

Every year there are pushes to change to acronym

LGBTQ

LGBTQ+

LGBTQ*

LGBTQIA

Mogai

Alphabet soup

Queer:

Used to mean “other”

Became a slang term for “not straight” in the 1400s

Became a slur in the early 1900s

Reclaimed in the 80s.

Sudden push back from within the queer community to have it seen only as a slur in the 2010s, a push that can be traced back to terf ideology.

Is the only term that includes all non cishet people

Homosexual

A medical diagnosis

Used for decades to make queerness into a mental illness

Used as a slur for the latter half of the 20th century

Rejected by the queer community as an acceptable term for a brief period of time in the early 2000s before coming back into fashion.

Only describes the experience of cis gay men and cis lesbians

Think what you want, believe what you will, but every word we have ever used to describe ourselves is coated in blood.

Op ur so brave to assume people on this site can read well enough to get this

[nynaeve-almeara]

I actually talked to an older queer guy who said he was amazed to see how many young people call themselves gay. When he hears it, he just hears a slur…but he also said he was glad that people are able to reclaim it, and he’s happy to see a generation of lgbt+ people comfortable with it.

People on this site could learn from him
