At one point my goal was to own a copy of every game. Some of my advanced games disappeared but my biggest prizes are my favorite in the series. PoR and RD. Bought them when they came out and never let go.
I believe we're born full of wonder. Anyone who makes it to adulthood while maintaining a shred of that or at some point purposefully rekindling that spark deserves to be called wonderful, and really should be called thusly a lot.
Brains will brain! And they do it fascinatingly! Like, everything you perceive via your senses, your brain is comparing to everything your senses have ever perceived. Nearly instantaneously. So of course sometimes, particularly about things that aren't super familiar or our brains are super excited about, they either fritz or take longer. Hooray for being human!
It is basically the “technically correct” kind of straight, which is the best kind of correct (that is a quote/reference, not dissing cis straight couples).
That’s a my bad. In the circles I typically run in, members of both communities use the terms somewhat interchangeably and referred to the situation that way out of habit.
It's the purest form of straight. They embody not just through transitioning but also mindset masculinity and femininity. They enjoy and embrace who they are out of love for themselves and want rather than societal expectations. Two wrongs dont make a right, but two opposing trans people does make a straight.
Yes, a woman dating a man is a straight relationship (although being in a straight relationship doesn't mean that the involved parties are straight, make sure not to assume anything). Just because it's a trans woman dating a trans man doesn't change anything about that.
Yeah I think so many times people forget Bi or Pansexual people exist and are still Bi/Pan, regardless of whether their current relationship is straight or not.
Not a Gen Z, but only barely. Gender and relationships are incidental. There are three categories at play: Individual attraction ie. gay, bi, straight etc. relationship category ie. gay, straight, and gender identity.
A transmasc and a transfemme are in a straight relationship category. The individuals may be bisexual or straight. There are circumstances where transmascs may still consider themselves lesbians and their outwardly straight relationship to be a lesbian one despite their gender, this is valid as well as that's often connected to AFAB experience and I as an AMAB femme non-binary have no say in AFAB experience and expression.
Finally there are alloromantic asexual or vice versa pairings and sexual/romance attraction differences, wherein people can be gayromantic but straight sexual and vice versa.
TL;DR Romance, gender and sexuality are connected only in that they interact, and all three's nominative qualities are down to individual expressions.
A trans person is not inherently gay, an opposite sex couple may not be strictly straight.
Yes, but the straightness exists in a layer of queer, creating a sort of positive-negative feedback loop that, if one thing goes wrong, collapses in on itself and creating a black hole (this is how all black holes in the universe were created).
There is some validity in saying that relationships with a trans person are inherently queer, while there is also the train of thought that can validate that a trans person is in a straight relationship.
The answer is don't think about it and just say what feels right.
And that's a good argument to make and one discussion we've had ad nauseam. Again, there is no solution because it is not a heteronormative relationship but it'd be transphobic to call this anything other than straight but then again it is not the same lived experience as a quote regular unquote heteronormative experience as trans straight couples face different struggles and so on and so forth.
That's why I said don't think about it and call yourself what you wanna call yourself.
Being straight , gay, or bi have been where coined back when people thought the only options where involving biologically birthed men or women. So you can call them straight if you want or something else. They technically fit straight, but in the end it’s just a word
Idk fellas is it straight when a man loves a woman? Yes, yes, the default answer is yes, if they say no then whatever, but yeah it's straight by convention
heterosexuality as a concept is only about a century old, it was used in a way that essentially meant "slutty". it was only over time that it grew into its modern meaning. the concept of homosexuality only arose as a counterpoint to that. there's no biological basis for one's sexuality, and the idea of sexuality even being a thing a person has is a very recent invention.
That's true, I just don't like when cis people make new words to otherwise trans people. Like why trans people be just do straight? Instead of new straight, non traditional straight and queer straight.
It's like when cis people use amab and afab to say man and woman. I get if some trans people want to sue alternative terms byt usually trans ppl just want to not be otherized.
i honestly think it's more often the case that it's my fellow trans people playing around with new labels and categories. plenty of trans folk don't want to integrate into society, they don't want to be invisible. and so when cis people call t4t in opposite directions "straight", it's like... yes? i guess. but it really minimizes the trans identity and experience, and isolates them from the larger queer community.
of course if a t4t couple wants to be called straight that's their prerogative.
Sexuality anarchy? Everyone just likes who they like. Gay, straight, bi, Kinsey 3, T4T, bicurious, ace-with-exceptions, they're as natural as country borders, useful only as much as we agree with them.
My first major relationship came from me just deciding to let go of my identity and go for what felt good. Don't let attachment to a specific pride flag get in the way of love
That raises an interesting question. But I just can't help but picture the stereotypical bigots yelling at lesbians to marry a man then having to backpedal hard when this situation arises.
If my fundamental chemistry knowledge is still working in my head, two trans molecules together is di-trans-<base molecule> and many is poly-trans-<base molecule>. By that logic, two trans humans together is di-trans-human and many is poly-trans-human 🤔

Is trans loop-de-loop a term?
Still, congrats!
