As a masculine bi girl, I’m sooooo fucking tired of being told I’m actually a lesbian who hasn’t realized it yet, or that masc girls can’t be bi. Every time there’s a masculine bi woman represented in media, people always dogpile her and act like she’s a lesbian just for being gnc. I feel like a can’t have shit. Bisexuals exist.

This is queerphobia!

NSFW content I think?? I don’t really know if this counts as queerphobia but it still makes me extremely uncomfortable

my friend who I’ve known since we were 6 says she’s accepting of queer people, but when I came out to her a year ago as a lesbian she started saying stuff like “and that’s why you like dick” and “you just want to suck [characters] dick.” I’ve told her several times to stop but she doesn’t. She’s also made jokes from before I came out to her about lesbians having sex with cishet men. I hate it but she’s still one of my closest friends and I don’t want to lose my other friends because of her.

I came out to my father as trans over five years ago. When I came out to him again as Genderfluid recently, he admitted that he never really saw me as a man and that he quote “knew I wasn’t trans” but was trying to be “supportive” because I was “confused”. It feels almost cartoonish in its ignorance, looking back on it

He then went on to say that he thought I was cis and bisexual: “because you’ve shown interest in women and men.”

I’m not cis. I’m not bisexual either. But at the time, I simply assumed he knew what was best for me and agreed. It felt like being forced back into the closet after years of being out, as if I were signing a contract that allowed me to be “socially acceptable” to him. I started being “she” again. It was easy for my father to use biphobia to his advantage (though i think it was mostly out of ignorance), and focus on the “straight” part of being bisexual. Again, I am not bisexual. I dated a boy for a week, but it very quickly became apparent that we were not going to work out. Ever since, my dad has simply assumed that I am his cishet daughter and is happy to leave the “old me” behind.

It took me a long time to be comfortable in my skin again. I didn’t feel like myself for a year and a half before I realized that I didn’t have to be what he assumed I was. I’m finally happy with myself again. I love my dad, but it still feels like a knife to the heart to be reminded he doesn’t understand anything about me.

(This is longer than I intended it to be. Feel free to disregard, delete, or ignore this submission /genuine)

i hate that people cant even respect that i hate being called bro or girl because of my gender dysphoria and they cant bother to call me stuff like mate or twin at all

"but i call everyone tha-" i dont fucking care, youre an exorsexist bigot. its not that hard to call an agender person something genderless when they literally asked you for it. respect enbies/agender people at once

(it counts for enbyspec people themselves too btw, as i also saw some doing the same bigoted thing. its still bad no matter what gender you are)

This is queerphobia!!

I said that I was pan to my family and my sister said that I couldn’t be pan because I didn’t research it enough and more recently I realised that I’m nebularose and she was kind of trying to like deny it and asked if I would be romantically attracted to her which is weird and I started off with just explaining that it basically means I don’t understand the different types of attraction and she said that I’m probably just confused because I’m autistic

I'm agender (AFAB) and use he/they/it + any neos people want to call me, basically any pronouns but she/her. Being called she/her isn't really bothering me so much, what bothers me is that if I ever give people the chance to call me that, that's all they'll ever use for me since I still look pretty fem. I already get misgendered enough as is, I don't need more.

Cannt go to the Pride parade closest to me because it's a 40 minutes deive to get there and I work all day

For context: Im disabled, trans, and queer

I got told I choose to live on "hard mode" by a relative the other day unprovoked because I am those things.

Choose? None of those were choices I made. I just am that way. The only choice anyone made here was to be an asshole and the next choice made will be keeping that relative away from future family get-togethers

AMEN! Being disabled ain't a choice, being trans ain't a choice, being queer ain't a choice. I am glad you're protecting your peace by banning the relative from family events!

Remember this: We're here, we're queer, we will never live in fear!
