I'm in a gender and sexuality crisis

I gave that a "love" response, not because I love that you're in crisis, but because I'm sending you love.

Exactly. This is a chicken site not a LGBT hangout site bc if you didn’t mention it nobody would know or care

If you don't like it, then leave

I'd ignore this person. They'll go away eventually. They're replying to 3 year old posts, anyway. So their intentions are clear to me.

I finished my muslin pattern pieces for a dress. Gotta sew them together still. But progress!

What type of crisis?

all of them.

all of them.

So that is.....? Big bad crisis with hotline needed? Or just aching confusion as you try to figure it what and who you are?

That's great! I know you've been working on it for a while. I love the idea of sewing, but I don't have the patience for it. I *can* see, but I'm never happy with the results. I hope you plan to post pics of it, right????? I'd love to see what the final product looks like. And be jealous. In a good way.

Yep, I will. Probably not on me (hopefully I'll have a dress doll by then).

It's taking forever. Bit it helps that I can physically see the progress when my wrist starts acting up every time.

I get that. I have labels I use, but it's more so for other people to use on me.

I like who I find attractive, be they male or female, and so I call myself bisexuality.

Sometimes my body feels like the wrong size sweater and sometimes it doesn't. So Genderfluid seems to fit and work for other people asking me.

Polyamourus, well that one is easy until I explain it to people

I personally don't use labels when talking to myself and two of my friends don't really either with me, but that's because they know me personally.

It takes a while too. I thought for maybe.... 6 years that I was Trans, but that just didn't feel right either.


And of course, there are so many labels for things that it can be hard narrowing them down sometimes

Off topic (kinda), but does anyone else think it's kinda weird we ask about a chicken's gender and not its sex? Like, those are two very distinct things in my mind, and it's not the gender we want to know. Or am I being dumb?
