It really says something that a lot of monogamous people consider polyamorous and aromantic to be "opposites" but every polyam person I know took one look at aromantics and said "they're just like me for real"

[silosworld]

Poly folks x aro folks in the sense that "alloromantic heterosexual monogamous people view love and sex as an entirely different entity than me, and that makes life kinda strange"

[genderfluid-gang]

Early in covid I was working at a coffee shop and due to masking, it was difficult for people to get a read on my gender. I had long hair, a high or low voice depending on the day. I wasn't tall. I've got long eyelashes without needing to do anything to them. And so one customer from the next would gender me differently. At that job we had no employee bathroom so I would ask a friend in the morning how I read to settle on which bathroom to use to keep myself safer, but that day I really ought to have brought out two tip jars like "Am I A BOY or a GIRL?"

Sometimes I had facial hair and sometimes I didn't, and because of the mask, it didn't seem to be a factor in how I was read, because I guess not enough beard poked out.

A woman told her kid "tell the nice lady which snack you want" and the man behind her said "thank you, sir" when he paid. Had a woman call me bro and then a very straight older man hit on me and called me sweetheart. Not all gendered interactions were ideal but there was such whiplash having gay men talk to me like a gay man, dykes give me the nod, and then straight people of both assumed genders either thought I was one of them or their opposite.

I had never had such a fluid experience happening in real time, and it was SO unclear to most people that two of my coworkers were convinced I was trans, and I said that I was, but both were certain I was trans in "opposite" directions, so when one would call me "she" the other would defensively call me "he" and vice versa. It took me a while to realize that they didn't think some fluidity was involved but that the other was actually misgendering me and I was FIRMLY trans in one direction or another.

What a cool and bizarre but affirming experience! I wish this for so many people.

shoutout to the woman from my high school martial arts class who liked to get me in joint locks and then joke about how I was easy to catch. you cannot comprehend how psychosexually formative that was for me

[agnesandhilda]

imagine, if you will, having an adolescent half-crush on someone way older than you, which is also confusingly blurred up with admiration of them as a role model. now imagine that you and that person are in a social environment where it is acceptable to (platonically, consensually) choke someone. I think I was very normal about it considering the circumstances

[agnesandhilda]

she would demonstrate takedowns on her husband (also in the class, and who was not a small man) before we got to try them and the first time I saw her twist him around and down onto the floor like it was easy my entire abdomen clenched

[agnesandhilda]

I cannot stress enough how eager this guy was to be manhandled (womanhandled?) and flipped around by his wife. he was her de facto guinea pig whenever she got to teach and I never saw him unenthusiastic about it. he'd set himself up for a joint lock fully smiling. the other adults in the class occasionally teased him about it (being so quick to let your wife put you in a submission hold tends to raise a few eyebrows), and I always kind of wanted to defend him but what would I have said? like, don't worry. I won't judge you. I also like being pinned down by your wife

[draculaisagothwizzard-deactivat]

That last sentance really hits ya like a psychosexually formative takedown
