...and friends. Because let's face it, there's not enough letters there. Heck, there probably never will be.
So I figure that the trans thread went off pretty great, so hey why not make something more inclusive. Guys who have sex on guys, Girls who have sex on girls, and everything in between.
Now, the last thread wasn't perfect, so lets strive to make this one a little better:
RULE 1:
Don't generalize. Seriously, there's as many different types of people as there are people. Don't speak for those people. If you start a sentence with "most people" or "gay men like" you're generalizing. Don't do that.
This thread will evolve as it goes on, so keep an eye on this post.
NEW STUFF!

Thanks for the support, guys!
But the thread isn't just about me. If all goes well a lot of different people with different experiences will chime in.
I was at an event a couple of weeks ago, and there was a pretty sizable contingent of openly gay Christian men there. I was desperately curious to ask them about their experiences, but it seemed a bit of a heavy topic to get into with strangers at a party.
What's it like being a member of a faith where a not-insignificant portion of fellow believers think you fail to live up to the tenets of said faith? Are there people that you feel don't live up to the tenets of the faith? If so, how do you interact with them? Did you come out to the members of your church? How did they take it? Did you need to switch churches? If so, how difficult was it?
Lotta questions! And there might not even be anybody 'round here who has experienced it, but hey, it's worth a shot.

Sort of
Once upon a time I was a Christian. I had been to churches that were really open minded and one that was super judgemental, so YMMV on a church by church basis.
Oh, I know a lotta folks who left the church/faith entirely, but I'm more curious about the people who stayed.
Mainly because I'm sorta fascinated by anybody who ain't a cis, straight male staying Christian for any length of time. So much of it seems so unwelcoming/demeaning to people that don't fit that description, and I find myself intensely curious about the people who make peace with that cognitive dissonance.
Then again, I wasn't raised in any faith, never had one, likely never will. So I don't understand a lot about how it works for people. So I try to ask a lot of questions about it, and try to see things from other folks' perspectives, even though those perspectives ain't really my speed.

I'm kinda Christian, in the sense that I believe a God could exist and I pray

I've had a translady ring up some clothing sales for me at a Macy's a couple of times when I've been there. Is there a generally accepted way to kind of show support for people that you meet like that? Or is it best to just be nice and not directly draw attention to her identity. I kinda lean toward the latter, because I would think that anything else would be more like "HEY LOOK AT ME AND HOW ACCEPTING I AM OF YOU, AREN'T I SO GREAT?"
EDIT: Additionally, I lean toward not specifically saying anything about it also because it seems like not a good idea to assume that she is a transperson.

Reading comprehension fail, sorry!
Yeah, just assuming someone is trans is a little judgemental and can lead to some embarrassing situations for you both.
So what kind of treatment do I like to receive? Being treated like I'm normal, first off. Not being patronized or used As a tool in someone's quest to show the world how accepting they are, second. I want to be talked to like a normal person, is probably the most obvious thing.
Hey, @Metalbourne
I know we're not supposed to generalize
but is it okay to say I find female-bodied people hot
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
Well I DON'T
I am THOROUGHLY disappointed that this is not a quilting thread.
why cna i only hit agree once
I hope so otherwise I dunno what I'm gonna talk about for the next 99 pages

There's a person who was born a man but would like to be identified as a female. This person is into weightlifting and is constantly going "ha, bet you didn't think a girl could do x" whenever she does something that she feels is significant (and she's pretty strong, so that's often). Is it wrong of me to think "yo you're working with a man's genetics, even if you self-identify as female, so maybe tone that back some?"
That's not a generalization, that's an opinion.
Now if you said, "a lot of trans girls think female bodied people are hot"
That would be a generalization.
then for a while I was one letter
then I thought I was two letters
now I think I'm just one, but different than the one I started with
who dares solve my riddle
if I get back into cross-country, I will be competing with women
and this is exactly the sort of mentality I fear

Saying anything is impressive "for a girl" is tacky and dumb, regardless of genetics or gender identity

Excessive bragging isn't fun, no matter what gender or sex the braggart is. Don't let their condition stop you from telling them that it's starting to get irritating. And then find someone else to hang out with if they don't want to stop

Like, if I had confidence that society weren't going to brutally beat my ambitions into the ground the first chance it could, I'd hit up an HRT specialist first chance I got. But the fact is, I'm not sure if I want to calculate that risk where I am in life. And the only place I'm very comfortable with venting has been here, so great timing for the thread @metalbourne
Gonna do it today.
boooooo I hope you feel better soon : (
I've mostly been doing okay although the lady who cut my hair recently interpreted "just clean it up a bit" as "shear it all off" so now my hair is distressingly short and unmistakably masculine
it'll grow back out but ugh! UGHHHH
