Just because you got a ton of college degrees doesn’t mean you gotta tear people down to make yourself feel good...
Me too!
Happy pride month :)
ReplyHmm. How would your family feel if they knew you were asexual? Usually when people are coming out, it's more about non-traditional sexual orientations.
ReplyAsexual certainly isn't 'traditional'. Otherwise there wouldn't be 8 billion people on the planet.
ReplyWith that consideration, true — but I was wondering if your family would feel shame if you told them that you don't want anything to do with how to have children.
ReplyWhat are y trying to say? R u dissing ?
ReplyIn the original post, the title was "coming out." So I assumed you were going to confess (pronounce?) an orientation along the LGBTQ communities, but you claimed you were asexual. I might be behind on what is included in the community now, but even then I wondered why confessing you don't want anything to do with how to have children would be something you feel you can't tell your family, which you said in the original post.
There might be slight "dissing" on the part that I feel that declaring yourself asexual doesn't align with LGBTQ community inclusions, for the reason that it is simply that I feel someone doesn't have to "come out of the closet" about not having attractive desires. And with that, would your family shame you for not having these desires? Or perhaps your culture where you're from?
Honestly I don't know your full situation, so me jumping to conclusions comes off as dissing. But I will say that there are others who replied to this post that recognize your orientation so it is accepted.
I don't know, honestly I think your family would not mind you telling them your specific orientation.
ReplyOh my freaking gosh! Another LGBTQIA+ community member! I’m so happy for you! I’m pansexual! I too haven’t come out to my family but one day we both will. Good luck and keep on fighting! 🔥🔥🔥
