I have had a long romp through the non-heterosexual landscape. Have seen a lot of human diversity that my conventional straight friends never get near. It’s a tough subject to write about. How do we deal with, for example, honestly saying you are same-sex attracted and discovering that we have been deliberately hormonally disrupted? A lot of Bible bashers come over as self-righteous bigots, who have never walked in the shoes of others or faced derision for simply wanting ordinary human closeness they are comfortable with. I am having a very hard rethink about how I got to where I am at. Grindr and Manhunt have brought deep problems by putting casual sex everywhere. The urge to define people with labels is dangerous. The LGBTQ ideology is not representative of the population it hijacks. None of the trans folk I know give a hoot about pronouns but do want basic respect and dignity for their individual jouneys and struggles. My data collection was costly. Need to use it wisely.
Your honesty is always thought-provoking Martin. You seem to be going thru a period of self-defining which is often uncomfortable, but i do blv it is necessary in order to reach a point where one can wholeheartedly love oneself for what/who one is. At least that's been my experience.
Ppl seem to want to use them but have always found labels rarely fit anyone. I ignore them. None of my gay friends are happy with the LGBT movement n in fact feel threatened by it. ALL the divisions in society have been deliberate and everyone just wants to be treated with respect and dignity - basic human rights.
I wish you well in your journey and pls know deep in your soul you ARE loved❤️
