dreamahri Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hello! I am here to introduce myself! I am asexual and currently living in Virginia! I've always knew I was asexual, but I never knew it was even a thing until I entered college. I believe my college was showing (A)sexual at the time. I didn't get the chance to see the movie, but I did end up googling the term. I am still pretty confused about my romantic orientation though. I know I am aesthetically attracted to androgyny and guys (which most of my friends think look like girls most of the time), but I always struggle between panromantic, heteroromantic, and aromantic. Anyways, I try not to think about it too much and decided to let what happens, happen. Yea, so that's my story. Nice to meet everyone! 3 Quote Level 1 CouchPotato HumanSTR: .7 | DEX: 0 | STA: .3 | CON: 3.5 | WIS: 1.4 | CHA: .7 My first challenge! | AB Group: Laning Like a Boss Weight Lost Goal 10%10% "Of course it's important to think about what lies ahead, too, but if you only look at what's down the road you'll get tangled in the laundry at your feet and you'll fall, won't you?

dreamahri Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 This weekend I spent the night at my parents' house, and it was literally ONE NIGHT but I found myself going through pictures of my cats (I have two) and getting really sad. I might have a problem.You know what's even sadder! Not having cats at all . I still live with my parents, but my parents HATE animals! I stare at all the kitties at PetSmart, wishing I could take them all home! When I finally get my own place, I am guaranteed to be the next cat lady! 1 Quote Level 1 CouchPotato HumanSTR: .7 | DEX: 0 | STA: .3 | CON: 3.5 | WIS: 1.4 | CHA: .7 My first challenge! | AB Group: Laning Like a Boss Weight Lost Goal 10%10% "Of course it's important to think about what lies ahead, too, but if you only look at what's down the road you'll get tangled in the laundry at your feet and you'll fall, won't you?

Brekketechie Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hello everyone. Popping by for an brief intro. I put the "B" in LGBTQQIA! I'm a Bisexual living in Nor Cal. - I have tended toward dating dudes, but that's as much cultural norms and preference (I'm from the American South). I live as a mostly closeted queer woman for job-related reasons (but have a super supportive boss) and have been working so much lately that dating is nil. So grateful that Nerd Fitness has a dedicated space for LGBTQQIA (et al) folks. Sometimes I just don't want to have to cross my fingers when I talk about future husbands spouses.

Cheers Queers!Hi As another bisexual girl from the South...I am married to a man, and don't discuss my sexuality much, but then again, I didnt even understand what bisexuality was really, until about 5 years ago. I just thought everyone was slightly sexually attracted to everyone else and only if you had a very big preference for the same sex vs. the opposite sex, you were gay (loooooong before all the other labels....when I learned those, I was flabbergasted! LOL!) Hello! I am here to introduce myself! I am asexual and currently living in Virginia! I've always knew I was asexual, but I never knew it was even a thing until I entered college.

Having an intersex condition is ... not the same thing as being trans. Most people with intersex identify as a man or a woman, and a small percentage identify as trans, but that's not a choice, either.

I didn't get the chance to see the movie, but I did end up googling the term. I am still pretty confused about my romantic orientation though.

Anyways, I try not to think about it too much and decided to let what happens, happen. Yea, so that's my story. Nice to meet everyone!Hello, fellow asexual Virginian! I also didn't know I was asexual until college. I took Intro to Women's Studies and one day we went over different sexual orientations/identies/etc., including asexuality (disclaimer: this teacher was awesome and addressed a lot of different perspectives/experiences each day in class, it wasn't like we had one Queer Day or whatever, we just had one day where we went over definitions and such for people who didn't know them)(I always feel the need to explain because I've heard from other friends about Women's Studies classes that don't do a very good job of that). It took another four to five months for me to realize that was me, and I haven't doubted it since. The aromantic part took a little longer, but I'm pretty comfortable in both of those now. I like you're perspective on your romantic attraction, though. I'm always impressed when I meet someone who has such a reasonable and chill attitude towards attraction.I tried to watch (A)sexual and ended up turning it off part way through, I just didn't think it did a very good job of showing a lot of diversity amongst asexuals and it showed a lot of examples of people saying kind of ignorant stuff that just upset me. Like, the guy it's mainly about (I always forget his name) did an interview on The View and the way they talked to him was making me so pissed off. It's on Netflix if you want to give it a shot, though. Maybe it gets better, tbh I didn't get that far in. Quote Current challenge: Respawn Time! Link to comment

They probably are lucky they are able to even dress themselves, let alone an article about something do with trans and/ or intersex community.
