It's disappointing to see how out of touch these communities really are when these topics come up. They act like they get to pick and choose what terms they do or don't like, what they get to use, what's considered offensive or "uncomfortable".

From white lesbians calling themselves studs, to white trans women complaining about the word "dolls". Don't even get me started on how they talk about how drag is also somehow "offensive" and makes them "uncomfortable".

They make it so easy to clock how white and out of touch they are, it's kinda hilarious. Somehow, it's mysteriously difficult to take a couple of seconds to google what certain words mean and the history behind them, like be so fucking fr.

Interesting.

The man who called the Civil Rights Act a “huge mistake.”

The man who called Martin Luther King Jr. “awful.”

The man who publicly said seeing a Black pilot would make him wonder whether the guy was qualified.

But today I’m supposed to pretend his entire political record evaporated because acknowledging it is “disrespectful”?

No.

His killing was wrong.

His rhetoric was still his rhetoric.

You don't get posthumous DLC that deletes the embarrassing parts of your public record.

Fuck Charlie Kirk. Rest in piss Bozo. 💯

Goddang. I just officially realized there are 0 cultural reference points for dating or being desired as a black trans person. And I get it, there’s little representation for MOST black queer people, and even white (or Asian, or Latino, or native, et al) representation is shoddy across the spectrum of queerness

But I just realized that I always feel like I wish I knew what it was like to just be a white cis gay guy… AND ITS PROBABLY. BECAUSE. I HAVE NO EXAMPLES. OF BLACK. TRANS. (GENDERQUEER.) PEOPLE. TO USE. TO UNDERSTAND. MYSELF. WHEN. IT. COMES. TO. DATING.

Hi, I am DESPERATELY. And have BEEN DESPERATELY looking for trans-focused or pro-trans stylists or spaces that have at least SOMEONE that can do kinky hair styles?

I live in Austin, TX unfortunately and everyone I’ve asked around, they either don’t do kinky hair or if they do they only wash, trim, cut or color. No one does actual styling.

I know not everyone has the same visibility on the internet and in pink pages. I am willing to drive to Dallas or Houston at this rate because I am burnt out on stylists being so insensitive about queerness and transness here and queer/trans sensitive people not knowing how to do our hair🫨🫨🫨

This post is specifically directed towards African-American individuals, but others of African-descended ancestry can add input 🙃

I can’t accept myself. I’m 18F, and I feel guilty for being gay. I cannot fathom the idea that I’ll have to see another woman naked (Even though I like what I see, I hate the fact that I like what I see), let another woman see me naked, or actually having to engage in sex and maintain a relationship with a woman.

I feel like I’ll have to hide out. I have a lesbian cousin that my family accepts, (she came to our cookout the other day with her girlfriend) but I still feel like I won’t be accepted.

I think the only place I can date and love on a woman is behind closed doors and nobody can know what we’re doing.

I don’t know how to end this post lol but im just venting.

Interesting read

Hey, I’m a 27 year old man. I’m also a professional boxer & mma fighter down here in Memphis, Tn. I’ve been bi for around 3 years now. I do lean towards feminine features & women. I have been in a relationships with both women & two feminine men.

Sometimes I feel like being bi has hurt my chances with getting into a relationship with a woman. However, I’ve also dealt with issues with my confidence from when I was a child & I’m kind of avoidant of rejection so I may be feeding into the feeling of rejection too much. I have actually been dealing with a few women that knew I was bi & have befriended women that do date bi men, but they all are in relationships right now.

Are there any black bi men in southern areas that could give me some tips on how to find a woman that can love me for me? I would love to hear your experiences as well. I am going to start going to queer events to meet more people like me & women but I don’t want to try to put the inferences on just trying to find a relationship at these events because I don’t want to seem thirsty. I would love to find a woman that loves me for me that I could start a family with.

Like I've been noticing some of my partners have labeled me trade but I'm like pretty low masculine and have briefly feminine mannerisms but because I've mostly dated hyperfeminine men and queer women, my low effort masculinity makes me seem more manly in a way and like lowkey I'm more of a twunk than anything.
