    in case people were curious the "soda can" cylindrical ball is supposed to be "aromantic asexual agender" which is also referred to as "triple A" and so in LGBallT it is represented by a AAA battery.

      That, and they like to point out that most of us bi/pansexuals end up in hetero relationships, while completely ignoring not only the statistics of LGBTQIA+ populations vs hetero, but also the rampant biphobia within said LGBTQIA+ populations that often keep us from being able to date within our same sex. We’d have to be poly (and dating other bisexuals who “get it”, tbh) to be “valid” in their eyes, and then the goalpost would just move again. Plus, if you’re a bisexual male, you’re “secretly gay”, while if you’re a bisexual female, you’re “secretly straight”, and if you’re nonbinary, it’s all just for attention.

      Pisses me off too cos its also used in the "when are you having kids" line of questioning. I knew from a very young age that I didn't want kids and my Mum's default was to say that I was too young to know for sure, I'd feel different when I was older. When in my late teens/early 20s (at uni) my Mum would talk about how I should have a kid just so she could raise it and couldn't grasp how fucking weird that was. And I again said I'm not interested in kids. And I'm now in my mid 30s (soon to be late 30s eek lol, where did the time go?) and I still do not want kids. And my Mum finally said that she has come to terms with never getting grandkids. As if my brother doesn't exist. And couldn't father kids....
      One of the reasons I've never broached the topic of sexuality and gender with her. If she can't handle the concept of not everyone wanting kids, I don't need her to question my judgement on who I find sexually attractive and what I consider my gender to be (or more accurately not be).

      Yes! That is weird. It also doesn't make any sense for conservatives to want trans people in the bathroom that corresponds to their genitalia. Require that and you'd end up with very masculine trans men in the ladies room and feminine trans women in the men's room where they will look completely out of place and have to explain to everyone what's in their pants to "prove" they belong there and aren't in the "wrong" bathroom. Why would they want anyone to have to do that? That's WEIRD.
      And how would they enforce that system anyway? Hire some genital police to check? Not only is that WEIRD its a huge invasion of privacy. NO ONE should be asking, have to show or explain what genitalia they have to belong in a certain bathroom.

    15:43 History Lesson with Internet [cis] Uncle-Gay 🏳‍🌈!
    Back in the 1990s, we Gen-X LGBT+ folk _just assumed_ that anyone who was cis+hetero was going to attack us. Or hate us. Or otherwise React Badly to finding out we were LGBT+. Because, sadly, we were almost always correct about that.
    Which is why, when I joined a new employer in 2015, my younger coworkers Completely Confused me. Because they reacted to me saying, "My husband," with … nothing. No hostility? No freaking out? Not even performative-tolerance?!?! It was … just … so strange to this Gen-X gay, so contrary to my experience during my first 10-15 years being out.
    But now, the Forces of Hate, led by the TERFs and other anti-trans groups, are trying to restore that climate of automatic-hatred, starting with attacks on trans people. But I know, and all of my fellow Gen-X gays and lesbians know, that it won't stop there.

      I know and respect that yo and others don't want to keep the joke up, but I will be.

    Back when I first started learning about queer identities and thought I was just an ally (egg not yet cracked), I thought the A was for ally. Never heard anyone talking about aspec identities. So I claimed the A..... after much self-searching and after finally coming across the term asexual for the first time...well, I hadn't been wrong in claiming the A. I feel like a lot of the "the A is for allies!" stem from the fact that until very recently no one was talking about aspec people at all. so many people didn't know they are a thing, and no one was explaining what the A stood for, letting people assume it was for ally. I, an ace myself, thought for a long time after discovering that I was queer I was a broken bi. Would have saved me a lot of grief if there had been more Ace rep and talk floating around the online LGBTQIA spaces back then.

      I'm sorry these stupid bigots incapable of listening seem to have been spamming this comment. I want you to know you are valid. They're just confused and think they're straight because they never experienced what it's like to find happiness in just living your life on your own. They'll grow out of it one day

    Basic biology= 2 sexes
    ATAR biology (year 11 and 12)= It's a spectrum. Also gender doesn't equal sex. I love my science teachers!

      @_StarlightRose_ ATAR is an Australian stream of education that basically aims to prepare students for university. It's offered to students in grades 11 and 12. It's just a higher level of education specifically for students who want to get into university. There is a specific score that you get, comparing you to every other ATAR student in the country. Most universities have a specific score to accept prospective students. There are other pathways but they take more time.
