MODERATORS
 

Hey, we still haven't been able to find a secure way to poll everyone yet. I've really been wanting to ask (in the negative, to be more inclusive) what proportion of Hexbear is queer. This isn't going to be super scientific or anything as a result, but just a quick guess.

Please respond to this post with the following emojis :

For yes, you ARE a cisgender heterosexual (cishet):

dean-smile

For no, you are NOT a cisgender heterosexual (cishet):

dean-frown

For unsure, as in you are UNSURE or QUESTIONING if you are queer, transgender, a cisgender heterosexual (cishet), etc:

dean-neutral

If you have anything to add, please use a spoiler tag below your answer like so:

spoilerhi!

Remember to respond even if you are cisgender, queer, or otherwise. Everyone should try to respond, if you feel comfortable! meow-shining

Hexbear has more lgbt people than the liberal lgbt instances and it's not even trying. fidel-layup fidel-balling

The one neat trick: Visible pronouns that aren't buried in a performative section of the profile page where people can ignore that they exist.

it feels wrong frowning at something that brings so much joy and is the morally correct thing to be

Spoiler

For all practical purposes? Yes. I'm a cisgender man who is in a relationship with the mother of my children and I want to keep it that way.

If I for some hypothetical reason were to find a new partner I feel like I could be with any gender, they're all hot in each their own way so I guess I'm bisexual at heart although I feel like applying that label to myself is done form of stolen valor.

As for gender I feel fine about presenting as a guy although it could be fun experimenting from time to time.

Though only like two people in my real life know because that feels scary to share.

[–] commiewithoutorgans@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

dean-smile I've said it before, I'm bi and very much not attached to my manhood. But for any poll's sake, it's not fitting to ignore that I live in and experience the world as a cishet.

spoilerI am afab and present as cis and het. I was in love with a girl in high school but haven’t really been attracted to another woman since though I’ve had like romantic-adjacent feelings. I think I might be somewhere in the nb space but I don’t have dysphoria or anything I just don’t particularly feel engaged with the idea of femininity or gender at all

:dean-neutral:

oh I should spoiler thisrealistically I might not be cis, given the amount of time I spend in the trans mega. Maybe next poll I'll upgrade myself again.

IDK... I like ladies. I like penises. I like ladies with penises. And maybe a few guys, but body hair is a turn off. 🤷‍♂️

spoilerIn a very long term cishet relationship (probably longer than many hexbears have been alive), so I don't really consider myself biderman, but that would likely change if my relationship status did. Note: this is just something I apply to myself, not others, so I still think you're valid in your identity if this same thing applies to you but you think differently.

And I kinda don't get 'gender' as to how I'm supposed to interpret how I feel occupying one but I was amab and it's fine I guess. It hasn't really been an issue aside from being called gay in jr high kinda stuff.
