my demisexual ass, almost crying, apologizing to my partner for only having a grip on polyamory when I personally want to be having sex with another person and then having a Very Stupid Lightning Bolt moment like - oh my god. Is it - is it not that I'm *worse at understanding*, so much as that the rest of you all are just *more consistently horny*?

Horniness is not intrinsically less pure than any other human motivation

I feel this on so many levels. I'm AFAB nonbinary, which means I'm vaguely transmasc, but only by virtue of where I started; I'm certain that if I'd been AMAB I'd be aiming for the same midpoint from the other direction. I love dresses but right now I can't wear them without dysphoria because I already read as a woman to most people. The gender presentation I want is somewhere in the middle, but I don't want to change very much about how I look in order to be read that way. I am hoping that after top surgery, though, I might be able to wear dresses and not read as 100% femme. My cis male partner also loves dresses, and right now the greatest joy I get from the dresses and skirts I still own is seeing him wear them. He looks so pretty. I have permission to share photo evidence of this:

asldfjsdljf that's some gender right there. goddamn.

interesting observation i've made: i'm a genderqueer intersex trans person who's been on T for 9 years. i wear a lot of elaborate makeup and dress in "women's" clothing most of the time. my body is very masculine and i don't hide my "masc" features like my facial and body hair when i go out, i don't try to pass as any given binary gender, i did in the past and it made me miserable, so i just go about my life as the genderqueer person that i am

whenever i'm outside in a skirt or dress and my beard and body hair are fully visible, i do get a lot of compliments from fem people and women, but i actually get a very large portion of my comments from masc people and men. i originally thought that men would be the most hesitant, but i actually get a lot of men who approach me saying things like "i really dig what you're doing" or "keep that up" or even things like "you dress like how i feel on the inside." that one really stuck with me.

if this many men and mascs are willing to approach me- how many more feel the same way and were too shy or scared to say it out loud for fear of judgment from those who may overhear?

we societally groom men and AMAB people to believe they don't want to wear dresses, skirts, and makeup- but they do. whether or not these people were all transfem eggs or gay is not for me to speculate on; what i want people to take away from this is that people of all gender identities want to wear dresses, skirts, and makeup. people of all gender identities want to dress in different ways. we teach each other that women only wear certain clothes and men only wear certain other clothes, but that's just not the reality of it.

people are way more nuanced than that, and i've seen it with my own two eyes. it's beautiful. the world is a lot more open minded than we're taught to believe. we need to start letting everyone dress as they please. it's clear that most people don't fit into this rigid binary we've created. humanity is just too diverse for that.

I have latterly, and with some reluctance, joined reddit, just to creep on r/dateademi during one of my rare 'i don't know, maybe a dating website wouldn't be soul crushing' moments. And now I follow r/demisexuality too, *I guess*, because of this absolute Next Time You Come For Me Like That gem someone crossposted, source unknown, regrettably.

Anyway yeah that's it, that's the mood, that's the "I'm poly and everyone around me is having a great time being a slut and I'm legitimately sad I don't work that way" vibe. Turn the lights off, close the internet, the last word has been spaketh. FML.
