        But see, thatā€™s one of the things the Kinsey scale doesnā€™t really address. Is it really all that gay to be attracted to (as a man) someone that is presenting in a feminine way regardless of genitalia? I wouldnā€™t say it is. I know femboys and trans women are obviously different, but with regards to this question, you pretty quickly get into transphobic territory if you go around implying that itā€™s gay to like trans women or anyone else presenting feminine just because of genitalia. Or is the argument that since femboys identify as boys, that itā€™s automatically gay to have sex with them by definition?

          my answer to this is that itā€™s all complete fucking nonsense and we should just focus on kissing the hot people

          Is it straight to be attracted to people who arenā€™t cisgender? No.

          Is it qualitively a bad thing to be attracted to people who arenā€™t cisgender? No.

          My POV is simple, straight is a very specific thing, because the things outside of it fit into LGBT+ things.

          Despite centuries of propaganda, itā€™s not ā€œOh no, a terrible thingā€, itā€™s ā€œthe box you fit in isnā€™t the box you think it is.ā€

          Is it really all that gay to be attracted to (as a man) someone that is presenting in a feminine way regardless of genitalia?

          Come on now buddy. ā€œIā€™m straight, he looked like a bitchā€ and other prison cope logic doesnā€™t add up.

          They had to come up with a ā€œgay liteā€ term to get proper results from people during the AIDs outbreaks because people would claim to be straight while having sex with other men.

        Meh šŸ¤·šŸ», gay, straight, queer, trans, cis, bi. Does anyone really care? Labels are so limiting. I just know that Iā€™ve never really been into it when Iā€™ve fucked dudes but, Iā€™ve always been into it when I fucked women. So i call myself straight for the sake of convenience.

        Edit: also the Kinsey scale doesnā€™t account for things like just being extremely horny to the point of insanity, or chasing a couple of swedgers with a bottle of buckfast and loosing the ability to think rationally.

          Labels are so limiting.

          right. so you would fit into a group thatā€™s less chokehold strict than straight.

            So I considered the idea that I might be bi, but Iā€™m only attracted to men who are very effeminate and present as women and even then only sometimes, so that doesnā€™t really fit.

              sure. Iā€™m in a similar but not identical type of sexuality, I prefer the idea ā€œnon zeroā€ and call it a day. IDK, like ā€œpansexual-liteā€ or something.

              Iā€™m not bi, but Iā€™m not completely straight and thatā€™s ok.

        That implies that gay is like bi but more so, where I think gay is so much more like hetero than either are like bi.
