don’t let someone tell you who to love and who to be, be who you want to be and love who you want to love

PLEASE REBLOG

I’m considering coming out to my family as non-binary, and so today I brought up the subject of non-binary gendering/transgendering with my Dad as a casual conversational topic. He’s told me that if somebody is born a boy then they “should stay a fucking boy” and not trans to a girl or be a boy some days/girl other days/genderless other days.

I told him that I think gender identity should be something one can choose for themselves, and he says that nobody thinks like that and anybody who is trans/non-binary will just be shunned by every member of society they meet. He doesn’t think that people support n-b/t communities, because he doesn’t. He says to me that not staying one’s natural gender is wrong and against the point of being born a boy/girl.

Every person who reblogs this will have their URL written in a full-size writing book and when it is full I will show it to my father to illustrate to him the amount of people who believe that being non-binary is a valid gender identity.

Two of the things I think of most during October are Halloween and pride!  While I’ve got a bunch of spooky cuteness coming soon, this post is dedicated to my pride flag-inspired items. 

I’ve got a ton of cute pride-related items up at my shop: rings, buttons, earrings, hair clips, and two types of necklaces.  But my foil hearts, as well as my mix-and-match button sets, have some new editions I’m very pleased to announce!

For the foil hearts I recently reworked the pansexual pendant, using a blue foil that’s a bit more true to the flag.  I’ve also started making agender pendants!  I really like how they’ve turned out.  :D

Agender pride has also come to my mix-and-match buttons, as well as genderfluid pride!  I plan to bring both to my other wing-themed designs—and hopefully the foil as well—in the near future, but for now they’re both ready to go on the buttons.  (However, if you’re interested in getting them before they’re officially listed, just convo me at etsy and I’ll make it happen!)

Whether you’re already out, or are planning to come out on this year’s National Coming Out Day, Magical MacGuffins would love to help you show your pride!

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Whether you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual, demisexual, omnisexual, fluid, polysexual, questioning, or anywhere in between, you are all valid.

Stay safe and stay awesome!

also he said i clearly have no idea what gynesexual means when i called him a vagina fetishist but thats Literally what it means like ….. Bro i think U are the one who does not know

[lg6tq]

Considering that gynesexuals can be attracted to any expression of femininity - with or without a vagina involved - it seems, in the nicest possible way, that you are misunderstanding the term.

[jynersosgf-blog]

why does it feel like you just defined lesbianism to me

[lg6tq]

It’s technically similar, but gynesexuality can be between men too

[jynersosgf-blog]

Attracted to femininity = gynesexual A much more compact figure of speech, I honestly don't see your problem but I'm sorry this upsets you. I'm not trying to cause friction so I will stop replying.

I never realized there was a difference between sex drive and sexual attraction... How do I know which one I experience?

Sex drive is also called libido, and has nothing to do with sexual attraction. When(/if) you watch porn and get turned on, that’s a sex drive. When you see someone and want to have sex with them, that’s sexual attraction. 

The best way to think about it is that sexual attraction is an active response, while sex drive is a passive one. If you’re asexual but have a strong sex drive, you might watch porn and think “wow that’s really hot” and get turned on by it, and even masturbate, but you wouldn’t look at someone and think “wow I want to have sex with them.”

Hope that made sense!

Is there a term for someone who doesn't find people attractive right away, not just physically but also sexually. I know there's demiromantic/sexual but for some reason I don't feel that that label is right for me. Thanks

Hi there :3 thank you for asking

I believe that in this case we’re talking about the greyromantic/sexual spectrum, within which you’ll find your demisexuals, demiromantics etc. however for you this may be a bit vague. 

Also under the grey-spectrum is a term called ‘recipsexual/recipromantic’ which applies to people who only tend to feel romantic/sexual attraction after the other person shows interest or attraction towards them first. 

Another term to consider - at least until you find one you are comfortable with - is noviromantic/sexual which is used to describe an orientation that is hard to describe or has varying levels of clarity. I really wish I had more to offer here :( all I can say is that you shouldn't feel restricted by the few terms available - and in the grand scheme of things we have only just begun to touch on the intricate array of orientations and identities. You are you, and that’s it.

Anyway, I wish this answer could have been clearer cut, but I hope that you soon find the label that is right for you~ ^^

is there a world/prefix for someone that's romantically or sexually attracted to femininity? like this could include feminine males

There is! ^-^Someone who is attracted primarily towards femininity is called 'gynesexual' or 'gynephilic' and the opposite (masculinity) is 'androsexual.'These terms apply to the way someone presents themself instead of their chosen sex/gender, so you would certainly call yourself gynesexual if you were attracted to feminine males.I hope this adequately answered your question!
