Hello, friends. I'm a straight cis guy, 19 years of age and I'm not gay, but I have one thing that makes me different from others and that others cannot emphasize with so I understand how that feels, even though it's much more extreme in my case and actually inherently negative.
I've come to ask some questions about this board, if that's okay.
1. If you've visited other boards, do you find that the atmosphere here is more friendly, considering you all have one pretty big common denominator?
2. What age did you discover that you were different than others, whatever that way may be, if you're transgender, gay or bisexual?
3. Can somebody properly explain to me what the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality is? There are only two main ways a person can lean to with how they look physically: like a woman or a man. So every person on earth will look more like a woman or more like a man more or less. Wouldn't all bisexuals be pansexuals then, since they're attracted to both people who look more like women and people who look more like men?
Thanks, /J
1. I guess
2. Repressed tranniness for ages, then dysphoria really kicked in at puberty and I actually started to identify as trans at 14
3. Apparently pansexuality is 'more inclusive of non-binaries' or something, but other than that they seem pretty much the same to me
1. It's still 4chan. Attitude here is different but I dont know if I'd call it friendly
2. I denied being gay until about 13-14 but I knew something was off before then.
3. The old school definition I learned when getting into communities is that pansexual people don't consider gender a factor when dating, where as bisexual people do - even though they're attracted to both, gender is still something they consider and think about. They might like girls and boys in a different way, or like one more than the other. But I'm not sure if that definition is still valid.
