But like, is that normal? Is there something between bi and straight that I’m missing and haven’t heard of? Or have I just not figured things out yet?

well i don’t know if this is the answer you’re looking for, but when i was in my identity crisis phase, i found some words for sexualities that aren’t explicitly bi, pan, or gay. btw feel free to correct me if any of these definitions are wrong
(just adding a TW and spoiler box for anyone who finds the use of the q-word particularly triggering)

let me know if this helps and feel free to ask me questions!!!

Canvas lets you put your pronouns next to your name now by now I mean I just noticed :D
I like it even though they're next to my deadname
And my psych/soc/gov't&citz teacher put his pronouns up so that's cool, maybe more people will do that now
We stan cis people putting their pronouns up

When you're on your period and you feel like getting sick. ALL BECAUSE YOU EAT AN APPLE!

If you go to account>settings, you'll see all of your names used for sorting and display. In that list is "pronouns". Find the "edit settings" button and click the drop down next to the pronouns row to select.

-grabs my mallet- Who am I killing?!? I GO ALL JASON ON THEIR ASSES!!

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

I think I’m putting too much faith into them. They seemed really cool (and some of them still are) but the more I learn the worse it gets.
Unfortunately, no matter what I do I cannot escape them as they are, in fact, irl friends that go to all the homeschool dances and are generally liked by my family
plus if I had to tell my parents that the reason I stopped associating with them is cause they’re “transphobic assholes” I would probably be grounded and forced to Ben Shapiro for a month

@Becfromthedead group

:( Sorry Ella
My family is the big transphobic too…
My mom works with a lot of LGBT students but still misgenders them, says things like "a girl who wants to be a boy" in describing trans boys, and she's explicitly told me to not bring up the fact that my fiance has 2 siblings who don't id with their birth genders (one's a trans guy, the other is an enby). Also my fiance uses they/them pronouns, but that sounds like something my family will never know. (Just keep thinking I'm straight, guys….)
Like is it really that hard to be respectful? I know it's easy to be disrespectful towards things you don't understand, but even effort to learn can go a long way.

OK SO we have a problem. One of my close friends recently came out as transgender and I keep on accidentally calling him his old name/pronouns out of habit. I feel terrible everytime I do, and I'm sure he does too, so I need help breaking the habit. Any advice on how I can break out of this habit? Or should I just try my best to call him the correct name/pronouns until it becomes a habit??

@Becfromthedead group

Just catch and correct yourself, and move on. If it helps, maybe in your own time, write/talk about him to yourself so you get more practice? I promise it'll eventually set in, as long as you make the effort and as long as at your core, you respect his gender identity.
