It was super cathartic and I mostly made it for me, but maybe some of y'all will enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNr4PaNJSA8

We're putting in a counter-offer on a house we're trying to buy across the country so we can move back closer to friends and family and my insides are freaking out. It was already stressful buying one house across the country, now we're selling that house and trying to buy another. AAAAHHHH

AAAAHHHH  I move into my Condo in 10 days but the whole scale of everything that's about to happen decided to freak me the gently caress out Wednesday evening. And on top of that, my Parents are coming up to visit the day after the move which is cool but also aaaaaaaaaaaaa. They would have been here over the Parade weekend but that's been delayed until October.

OOF, that's some timing on a parent visit. On one hand, nice to have some help and comfort when moving in but that's a lot to juggle all at once. Good luck with the move! Prokhor Zakharov posted:buying a house right now seems like the most stressful thing on earth, goonspeed and I hope you smoke whoever bids against you We found out last night that our counter offer was accepted and we're officially under contract! Assuming nothing abnormal comes up with the inspection (and we're not expecting anything) then we should be set to move into 100-year-old home built on a former burying yard. Poltergeist, here we come! We're moving from Austin to a small mountain town so I'm jealous of the queer friendly stuff around you! Haven't been able to enjoy any of that for the past year and now we're packing up and shipping out.

Boyztown was especially fun although they did allow bachelorette parties so be warned that there may be stray hets wandering about unsupervised.

So I've been giving it more thought and I'm pretty sure I'm pan. I won't lie I'm not as up on the lingo these days because I'm an oldie but if it means attracted to people dependent on personality and physical preferences, regardless of gender, gender identity or anything else than yeah. That's me. Hope this isn't weird to say - just figured this place be as safe as anywhere to announce it.

The sorta standard definition is pretty much up for both, cis or trans, everything goes. There's a lot of weird discourse around it vs bi, but it's meaningful enough as it's own thing to make it clear. Also I've stalked this thread since single digits, but also big dumb enby/trans person that likes the 619 here. And also Eddie was way hotter with the mullet than the short spiky hair.

That's me. I came to the same realization last year and struggled with the bi/pan thing. From everything I read, some people interpret bi with two genders and others see it as essentially pan whereas pan seems to be explicitly regardless of gender. It's all confusing, even more confusing when I was looking up what the pan flag looked like and saw a bunch of drama about the person who created it and just gave up diving deep on anything. I like whoever regardless of however they identify, and I guess I'll call it pan and everyone else can call it whatever they want.

The bi in bisexual has always referred to heterosexual/homosexual, which encompass all ranges of gender expression. Bi meaning "two genders" or "no trans" is an age old misconception that's historically been used for a lot of hella biophobic stuff and is pretty frowned upon these days.

Right, I think it seems like the mainstream understanding of it is specifically two genders because of the use of "bi" but of course it's never that simple beneath the surface

Not gonna get bogged down on The Discourse but there's bi manifestos from the turn of the 90s saying not to assume that bisexual is limited to 2 genders

I was nervous to come out to my partner just because I didn't know what it would do to the dynamic of the relationship and if anything it's made it better. I'm glad you've got a supportive partner, too!

My biggest regret in not admitting this all to myself sooner is that college would have been a lot more fun. I'm in my 30s now and have only been with women, and it bums me out to think that the window to experiment and everything is closer to closing than opening.

I came out when I was 12 roughly 10,000 years ago and all it got me was almost murdered a couple times lol, because the Bad Old Days were poo poo for anyone not rigidly conforming to het crap. No one is ever too old to experiment and experimenting in your 30s, 40s, and beyond are all cool as hell. I remember an elder I used to be pals with at a queer bar, he didn't start experimenting till he was 71, got married to another cool old dude when he was like 78, and had a happy decade with his dude queering it up. I will fight anyone who says anyone is too old to experiment with their sexuality or gender.

There's also gonna be a lot of people now hitting their 30s who weren't able to figure out or come to terms with their sexuality due to the culture in their teens who are now feeling more able to express their authentic selves and taking those first steps into the world of queer. You're not going to be alone.

I came to terms with a lot of things during quarantines and lockdown, and I知 not spending anymore of my life not being 100% myself.
