    I was legit accused of homophobia. I had to say "But I am gay?"

    I want to thank sitemods and admins for looking out for me and wanting to make me accept my sexuality by having me defend it in front of an internet stranger

      yeah that was a funny one. dont you worry comrades, modchat is currently a mess, we're doing our best to make sure everyone who was banned/punished deserved it and reverse the ones that didnt.

        Calling me heterosexual as a joke was not okay

            I mean, because I've never really thought I was straight. I didn't see myself as having a sexuality but rather "I am normal and straight is normal". And the idea of ending up in a heterosexual relationship (the only kind of relationship I could have) made me feel miserable. So I thought I was meant to be single for the rest of my life which also made me feel miserable. But maybe I feel like that because I am a self-admitted heterophobe

              lmao im not asking you to justify yourself i was taking the piss

              yeah i had a similar conundrum being trans. i never wanted to date anyone even though i very clearly found all genders attractive. turns out, i just hated my body. so much so that i legit thought i was asexual for a bit till i had a full conception of what being trans was.

      I did not make this post to antagonize the mods. I'm guessing you were banned for using "gay" in the perjorative sense. I thought about reporting that. I can see why other gay people may not like that.

        I am not antagonizing the mods either, I'm explaining why it says "gay"

        Yeah no I'm actually gay.

        I'll admit that I haven't known I'm gay for a long time, only realised at the end of 2019, and I don't feel safe enough to completely come out irl, but still gay. Coming to terms with it has been one of the most healing things I've experienced in my life even if I still struggle with it sometimes.

        No more nights lying awake speaking to myself like "so I know I'm not actually gay but what if I am... haha, ridiculous. but what if I'm not straight, that would be... inconvenient, unless? why do I feel grossed out by me?"

        When I chose the username I knew there were gonna be people who'd take it the wrong way but I went with it because it was epic. I'm sorry if it hurt you, I try to make frequent users know that I'm actually gay.

      Sorry for reporting you. I don't know you and thought you were being homophobic. If it's the comment I think it was, without context of the user, it wasn't a good look. Seemed like a natural thing to report
