it’s hard to have the same reach when you limit yourself to niche platforms tho. like sure, PinkNews could post exclusively to Pixelfed/PeerTube and not have to deal with censorship.

they’d also have to contend themselves with 12 followers… a hard pass when you’re a news org

tho, sometimes i wonder how much of my feelings toward sex, sexuality and attraction is asexuality, and how much of it is gender dysphoria, since i am a closeted trans woman… when i discovered my asexuality, i was still unaware of my transness. but tbh, the idea of having sex as a woman isn't that enticing to me either

it feels a bit boring to say, but… i've never had sex, and i don't want to. if sexual attraction really is feeling desire to be sexual with someone, then i've never felt it.

my journey of discovery was also pretty uneventful, as a teen i realized that people my age were pretty much all interested in sexual acts, and i thought, "hey, shouldn't i be interested in that too? shouldn't i feel sexual attraction too?" and then i remembered asexuality existed, looked it up, and went "yep that sounds like me!"

i have felt romantic attraction tho, once, and it was a very weird feeling that i can't really describe… i think i'm on the aromantic spectrum as well but i'm way less sure of that than of my asexuality

sorry if that's a bit of a boring answer, i guess my sexuality is just "nope" 😅

i mean, there are many transphobic opinions one may have which aren’t in conflict with "trans people are the gender they say they are"

it’s often what comes after the dreaded BUT

examples of transphobia (and enbyphobia) where this applies

  • trans women are women BUT they shouldn’t be allowed in female shelters if they get abused
  • trans men are men BUT kids shouldn’t be able to transition, they should wait until they’re 18
  • nonbinary people are nonbinary BUT we shouldn’t change language to reflect them since they are so marginal in society

imo opinions like these are even worse than blatant bigotry, cause the people who say them often present themselves as safe and "allies", so they’re much more pervasive and harder to ignore
