TW: queerphobia, dysphoria
A user named Lorelai144 made several queerphobic comments on my post and others, including derogatory remarks about our chosen identity labels and pronouns. I responded calmly but assertively, stating that their comments were not appreciated and notifying the admins, who promptly took action by blocking them from the platform.
Another user, FoksTweeMoon made a disparaging comment about my fluidity in names and genders, implying indecisiveness.
Okay, so I feel like I connect with a bunch of different labels, like a *ton* of labels. Each one kind of captures a different part of who I am; making 1 whole identity. My identity's all over the place, which makes it super hard to just stick to 1 or 2 labels.
And, ugh, external stuff totally messes with my head too. People are saying mean stuff about people being queer and all, plus society is always pushing for everything to be simple and easy to understand. It's like, those comments make me question if the labels I picked are even legit. Or right for me. And then there's this pressure to fit into more standard labels, which just makes things even more confusing. Making me just want to use heavily simplified labels.
I'm all about embracing how complicated my identity is, but at the same time, I just want to be understood and accepted by everyone else too. So sometimes, I think about maybe using simpler labels that everyone understands, even if they don't really cover everything about who I am. It's a constant struggle for me and I don't know what to do.
What labels I use: Nomifluid, Acxygender, Noxigender, Doxigender, Fluidflux, Non-binary, Omnigender, Perifluid, Revealfluid, Transgender, Androgynous, Fidelityflux, Fictoromantic, Greyromantic, Keepromantic, Omniromantic, Reciproromantic, Aegosexual, Fictosexual, Greysexual, Omnisexual, Aplatonic, Omniplatonic, Demisensual, Pansensual, Omniaesthetic, Minic, Faunpronominal, Panpronominal, Aemotional, Androgyne, Freedressing, Libidoist, and Non-partnering.
Simplified labels: Nomifluid, Doxigender, Perifluid, Androgynous, Fidelityflux, Omniaspec, Omnomi, Greyrose, Minic, and Faunpronominal.
Heavily Simplified labels: Genderfluid, Bisexual, and Aroace.
I mean................... I like genderfluid, bisexual, and aroace, but that doesn't encompass who I am fully.
I don't know, this was just a dysphoria vent. If you have any idea on how to put this into like 3 or 4 labels, then please, be my guest.
