So thats why it’s called the Fediverse
shit, I've been caught 😭😭😭😭
Now pay me my antifa-protest-money you still owe me 2k for teaching pronouns to lids!
The Glowing One
why is there no „help I don’t fucking know“ button?
Well... what do you feel like? When you imagine yourself in your head, what do you see?
well, I would like to be a woman/girl. That’s how I’ve felt since I was 8. but it’s gotten much stronger in the past couple months.
Ayo congrats on having your egg crack. If you want to talk about gender questioning in egg_irl or transfem those are full of ladies and feminine nonbinaries that can offer you some love or some helpful guides or answers.
thanks for not immediately invalidating my thoughts.
Oh my gosh of course I wouldn't. That would be transphobic. Transgender is naturally questioning and often confusing, too. We find our answers, in time.
thanks :)
That's partially why I'm closeted. Even my queerness is too weird and requires explanation (and results occasionally in accusations).
Nonbinary? Neopronouns? Agender?
Agender is close. Gender apathetic. I have M on my state ID but whatevs. While I can feel humiliation, I don't feel emasculation. But recently seeing the degree that trans folk know they are their gender identity (and also seeing alpha male types who look masculine to us but can't seem to be butch enough for themselves, it's like seeing my queerness as lensing of stuff behind a black hole.
I could pass as cis-het except that I'm an ASD misanthropic goblin, so I exude a bit odd wherever I go.
Oh I love that. I'm a bit odd too :3 Right now I just dress kinda... cutesy queer with florals and patterns and lots of colors.
I think, I'm a trans binary female but there is always a bit of wiggle room. I wanna express it in a tomgirl sort of way. A lot of my fashion icons rock male cargo shorts, for example. But I won't like, ever tell anyone this. Because I want to be socially affirmed as female, and only visually express the details.
I've also heard of this sort of black hole feeling you are talking about! I think gender apathetic is a great word for it.
But if you can't feel emasculation, try on this dress 😋 why pass as male? Why pass as human?

I came here for exactly this.
ahhh shit I knew i forgot to add something 😭😭😭 really sorry I forgot questioning
Questioning people belong in the LGBT+ community so I guess you answer “LGB...” for sexuality and/or “Prefer not to answer” for gender identity.
Still not ideal; another reason why the poll I suggested in a previous comment is better.
hey no Problem everybody makes mistakes it’s not the end of the world :)
This doesn't make any sense, you guys have to vote for gender AND for orientation. The percentage of cis to non cis doesn't make any sense when it's mixed into the orientation block of straight, queer etc. Should have been 2 polls
I don't get it
Can you be gay and cis? Yes. But your chart will show my vote for both as two people and Split me in half. The chart mashes together two different topics: gender identity and sexual orientation. Some people will only vote for one of the two, some will vote for both, since we all fall into a category in both of them. The chart shows every vote, without differentiation between the two and between what a single person has voted.
You can put 2 questions in one poll: both required but with "prefer not to answer" as an option:
- What is your gender identity?
- Cis (non-trans)
- Trans
- Non-binary / Genderfluid / Agender / Questioning / etc.
- Closeted
- Prefer not to answer
- What is your sexuality?
- Straight
- Lesbian / Gay / Bisexual / Ace / Queer / Questioning etc.
- Closeted
- Prefer not to answer
Any objections? Is this confusing/non-inclusive?
Edit: as with any poll involving these topics, you never know if you've missed any options (even if "etc." is available) so it’s best to get a sample of the LGBT+ community & general population and ask them if they have objections.
yeah but strawpoll doesn't allow for two different polls on the same link

Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between straight and cis?
Straight = heterosexual, Cis (short for cisgender) = someone who identifys with the gender assigned to them at birth i.e. anyone who is not transgender

Why the downvotes? Schools in lots of places don't teach LGBT+ vocabulary and not everyone is interested enough to look it up. Many have never needed to answer anything other than "male/female/other" for gender, and very few people use the word "cis" to identify themselves, so it's OK to not know ithe term.
Edit: my school was rather progressive but I still can't remember being taught the term “cis” in sex ed at 12 years old and I only found out when I started seeing LGBT+ memes online and became an ally 5 years later.
Another reason why the poll I suggested in the previous comment is better.
one is an orientation the other is a gender identity

Damn the straight fellas have been outnumbered.
they're falling behind but then they've caught back up several times now
How is this post glowing? I don't get it
straight
38, Pansexual, Cisgender Male.
Actually surprised by current results. I always feel a little out of place here being cis and seeing so many trans memes and users.

cis, straight, prefer not to say
closeted
I'm not really a fan of including gay and lesbian Alongside Asexual, doesn't really feel right considering how different they are.
So I'll just list them out here
- Aromantic-Asexual
- Agender
- Isogender
Don't feel too bad, I get that this Poll was meant to be broad, the answers just don't exactly apply to me the way its laid out.
it was meant to be like, are you lgbtq or not, with the exception of gender identitys because those had a seperate option, so really, ace is there because 1. i didnt know how to word it so the ones i wanted are included and 2. my fellow ace gigachads deserve some representation because we get basically none
