    There’s also a bunch of us who at one point identified as bi before realizing we were actually ace. I’ve talked to a fair few people with similar experiences.

    In my case I went from being a homophobic straight guy because I mistook being uncomfortable with being directly desired for sex with disliking gay guys because “of course I like women… I’m just old fashioned and need to find The One™ first.” To realizing that I must be bi because I don’t actually feel any different about men than I do about women. To realizing that I’m ace because of course I don’t feel any different 0=0 after all.

    Hell, I probably wouldn’t have ever figured out the ace part without my partner. She’s the one that taught me it was a thing when we first started dating along with helping me figure out I’m nonbinary.



  • Yeah I never meant to upset you or anyone else. Bisexual erasure is dumb and I’d hoped that I was over the top enough for it to be self evident how dumb a position it would be to unironically hold.

    I’d identified as Bi myself for many years before learning what asexuality is and so I’ve experienced people doing this not joking. That frustration is pretty much where that joke was coming from. I’m sorry.

    Well yeah, trans girls can like boys and be boykissers just like they can like girls and be attracted to the same gender.

    Edit: reading it back I wanted to add just to be clear I’m saying a lot of these can apply to both femboys and trans girls. That’s why it’s not redundant.


  • I could be totally wrong too. I was just kinda guessing based on what I found. I did see one that mentioned asexual but I figured that one was probably less likely given it being in there with Bottom and Boykisser along with there being that stereotype of trans women being really likely to date or fool around with other trans women

    Another great one for people who became disabled later in life is being in that magical Goldilocks Zone where it began too late so you have to worry about the full work credit requirements for social security disability benefits but too early for you to actually get those work credits.

    It’s old code so I imagine they probably used a single byte to store it. Probably figured the Gay value only goes from 0 to 100 so they could have -100 for totally Straight, up to 100 for totally Gay and still have some padding room. To be fair though the Devs couldn’t possibly have foreseen the Tumblr expansion absolutely shattering the scale.
