Okay so this is mostly a personal rant (feel free to skip)
Ok so
The summer before 8th grade I had determined I didn’t like being called my legal name or the (god damned) nickname that came with it. So I started thinking about names that could pass as nicknames for my legal name.
I was listening to musicals like I often do and in the heights came on, and I guess you can see where this is going.
I chose my name in honor and reference to Sonny and kept that spelling as a way to convince that it was derived from legal name.
And so I started introducing myself as Sonny. It made me happy, when people call me Sonny I would be more excited to answer, and my mom started introducing me to her friends as Sonny.
When I accepted that I wasn’t cisgender I started to think of ways I could either come out to my mother or gain comfort without.
I have determined that I shouldn’t come out, not with how my mom see’s people who fall out of the binary and even those who just don’t associate with their AGAB.
But I started to drop hints that I dislike how my figure falls. Y’know specifically the stupid flash sacks hanging from my torso.
This is about the time that things started to change.
My mom stopped introducing me as Sonny.
It was slow at first
“Oh this is Sonny”
“Oh this is my DAUGHTER, *legal name* but SHE goes by Sonny”
“This is *legal name*”
“This is *god damn evil nickname*”
I don’t know if she suspects something, but she’s the type to confront you if she is suspicious.
That’s how I got dragged out of the closet as asexual.
But I just wanted to illustrate how bad it can make you feel when someone ignores your name.
When she stopped using my preferred name, it felt like she decided I didn’t have to be respected.
I don’t need to be acknowledged correctly.
I don’t have to feel comfort or joy when someone addresses me.
I don’t think that’s just me.
Howdy from your local demi boy, enby, he/they. I am your parent and you are safe here.
since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...
Favorite pride memory?
Ok so as I’ve said before, I’ve never been to a pride parade or protest because I’m not exactly allowed to go, but I do quietly celebrate pride.
Last year, I was inspired by a video I saw to make a cactus sweater! Y’know cause ace/aro cactus! So that’s probably my favorite pride memory
Thank some one who helped you get where you are.
I’d like to thank Thomas Sanders for providing the queer content my repressed soul needed throughout middle school and beyond.
Thank you Thomas Sanders @thatsthat24
Show us your pride outfits!
I don’t feel comfortable sharing pictures of me on tumblr ✌️
What song would be playing on my pride float?
I...
I don’t know how to explain why other than I live this song and Robin is LGBTQ+.
Who’s on my pride float!
If I could have anybody on my pride float for asexuality/aromantism, I would choose Yasmin Benoit and Cavetown.
I don’t know a lot about actually pride parades because I’m not allowed to go to them so I don’t know if my choices make sense but yeah!
Song that reminds me of pride?
Ok so probably really basic but
Yeah...
I don’t have much else to say.
My favorite LGBTQIA+ TV moment!
My by far favorite lgbt moment on TV would have to be the Ruby and Sapphire wedding on Steven Universe! It was so precious and the entire episode was sooooo good!!!
Ahh I forgot to do this yesterday day
Favorite lgbt meme?
Favorite Lgbt ship?
Would absolutely have to be zukka
I read a ton of fanfics and love all the fanart.
I love a lot of ships but if I listed them all we’d be here awhile.
When did I realize I wasn’t straight?
Well I suppose that’s a difficult question.
For the longest time I was convinced I would marry a man and have 5 kids. But as I learned more about the world I found terms that just felt better.
In 6th grade, I started out with saying I was bisexual because it was the first term I learned. I thought it was appropriate because I thought girls were really pretty which I thought meant I could fall in love with them. But I still never thought I could have sex with a women and I had kind just pushed out of my mind the fact that for kids I would “need” to have sex.
In the same year, I was introduced to romantic attraction terms and started going by Biromantic heterosexual. That lasted about three months when I was introduced to the term asexual.
I have identified as asexual since I was in middle school and have ever since.
I also started questioning my gender identity around this time but we’ll get back to that.
Now even though I had determined that I was ace, I still had it in my brain that I needed a romantic interest to appease the concept I grew up with.
So I jumped around between deciding who my “crush” would be. From a sweet femme person I admired to a girl that would become one of my best friends.
I tried as I might to love them the way they wanted me to. I tried so hard with putting romance behind every I love you.
But I just can’t.
I don’t feel that way.
I just don’t, no matter how I try.
And that’s okay. They accept me.
It was around the time I determined I was aro that I decided there was no point in denying that I didn’t feel like a girl.
I still don’t. I identified for awhile as androgyne because if my mom ever asked me about my gender it wouldn’t break her heart as much.
But recently I’ve determined I do like being associated with being a “girl”.
So I have decided to settle with the term Demiboy as of now.
He/they pronouns.
My favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure?
I am not sure.
I could list only a few of the top of my head in general.
I like Salvador Dali (asexual) for his art and his different view of the world but he didn’t really do anything for the community.
I read a while ago about someone who worked with Martin Luther King Jr, fought alongside him, who identified as homosexual but I can’t for the life of me remember his name. I saved an article about him somewhere but I can’t find it. If anyone knows who I’m talking about, help me find his name.
He would probably be my favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure.
hey you!
yea you!!

whatever you identify as

There is one pride flag

This is NOT okay
It must be so cool for demisexual demigender people because someone could ask "Which demi are you? Demigender or demisexual?" And they could just be like "Yes"
Can't wait for May to be over so it's PRIDE!!! 🌈
