I am just a curious soul

Questions are always welcome, it’s good that you are asking questions about communities you might not know very much about
Most do not have the maturity to do that

I would answer but I’ve lived a very cushy life compared to the majority of the community and haven’t even been out for a year- I don’t have any labels other than cis and not straight-

1: mostly very nice! somewhat tiring being told homophobic things, but we persevere together!
2: fears of being hate crimed, getting told i’m going to hell or that i’m a mistake, people just not understanding it wasn’t by choice.
5. this one varies from person to person, but for me, it’s just like “oh. i’m attracted to two genders. oh well, guess i’ll keep trying to find someone!”
if you have any more questions, i’m happy to answer based off my experiences!

My questions:
1. What is it like, being a part of your community?
2. What are some hardships you face as part of LGBTQ+
3. (This one is for the Trans people specifically) what was transitioning like, and how did the people around you deal with it?
4. (Another one for the Trans people) do you consider yourself straight or gay if you are sexually attracted to the gender opposite of your current gender, but the same as your previous gender,
5. (This one is for the Bi people) Is it more or less difficult finding a partner being sexually attracted to both genders

For the bi question, it is pretty difficult, (and your almost always horni when your bi) yes, it is difficult finding a partner being sexually attracted to both genders

Well it's nice to have a group that supports you but even then it's kinda divided in my opinion

A hardship it face is well the slurs and well people saying my sexutility isn't really which is damping to say the least

So ok for the last one can I get you to reiterate I really don't understand

So if you mean as a romantic partner or sexual I don't really think the sexuality matter as long as it aligns say I'm a guy and a gay guy flirts with me or say a straight girl

4: we are considered straight

Ok good that’s the one I was most confused on thank you

no prob frien!

For me I can answer question 1, 2, and 5.

1. it's nice, its comforting to know that so many people are like you and are going through things similar to your situation.

2. I think the fact that i've had other lgbtq+ members forcing themselfs on to me and harassing me and instead of saying sorry or saying anything just writing it off as just "being fruity" another hard time for me is knowing that most my family is conservative Christians and that if I came out they would hate me (I'm also Christian I just think that God loves us all, no matter sexuality).

5. Disclaimer here I'm not bi I'm omni (like pansexual but you have preferences) being a cis women if i do date a man all the sudden jokes about being straight again come from all angels. I think it might be hard in a way that when people approach you they think they have to be lgbtq+ to date you, which I don't think is true, they just need to be supportive.

I can only answer 1, 2, and 5, so here we go
1. As someone who has been in the community for about a year and a half, at this point I don't even remember what it feels like to be cis and straight. At this point, it just feels normal, but at first I think it felt kind of overwhelming, especially when I discovered all the different genders and sexualities and romantic orientations that helped me open myself up to more possibilities. Sometimes I realize just how amazing it is that in different than a lot of other people, and how I'm probably also one of if not the best genderfluid musicians in my district. At first, for some people, I can be hard for them to accept that they aren't straight, and I've even seen people go through the five stages of grief because of it, since they were so caught up in the idea of being cishet. But after a while, it does just feel normal.
2. Being LGBTQ, you will often get bullied. A lot. I've even experienced bullying from a guy who I'm pretty sure he was gay but just in denial. It can be a lot harder to find the right person for you, as 8 times out of 10 (in my experience), your crush won't be gay or whatever they'd be if they were to date you. It can also be frustrating if you're under what I at least consider the trans umbrella (anything that isn't cis pretty much), it's not uncommon for your gender not to be mentioned in surveys, and sometimes the only options are male and female, which can be incredibly frustrating, especially for people who have genders which either simply aren't or tend to change.
5. I'm not bi, but this really applies to pretty much every sexuality or romantic orientation that is attraction to more than one gender. To get it down to the bone, it really depends on what your levels of attraction between the genders, for example liking one gender more than others, but still liking all of them. But to be honest, for the most part, it's just as hard to find a partner. Just because you have more options doesn't mean that you can date anyone you want, since they aren't all the best people or you might just not feel any attraction to them at all. But probably the hardest to find partners with is demiromantic or demisexual. These two only feel attraction of any kind towards people after forming deep personal bonds, which means oftentimes people will only like their best friends. Sometimes people won't like any of their friends in that way, even as demiromantic or demisexual. Continued in next comment

Unfortunately, having attraction towards your best friend can change your relationship, and sometimes for the worse. I've seen it end relationships between friends or make them really awkward, since both people know how they feel. But all in all, bring attracted to multiple genders makes it just about as hard, in my experience, to find a partner, since you'll experience just as many rejections as you would being straight

Id say a major hardship is hate within the community and then complaining about homophobia. If we arent strong on the inside then where can we be strong?

3, i havent transition yet sadly
4, straight
