I think: actual straight people don't exist, only self hating people who cling desperately to an imagined blood tribe.

That being said, don't proselytize your ways in other people's places of love that do you no harm. I think of it like a church: you do you, I'll do these people :)

That's only true if gay people don't exist either though. I would love to be bi, how nice it must be to not care what body someone wears. Not closed minded, half my kids are queer, and my mom didn't care or judge either.

But I'm straight, I know, I've tried with women and it doesn't feel like sex, there is nothing. It's men for me, so that makes me straight, yes?

I think: actual straight people don’t exist, only self hating people who cling desperately to an imagined blood tribe.

Honestly, this is absurd. I've been on this Earth for over 50 years, I am a man, and I've never felt attracted to a man. I am straight. I exist. I don't hate myself, I also don't hate others for their sexuality. Let gay folks be gay, let lesbians be lesbians, let bisexuals be bisexual. I fully support trans folks. I am not against anything LGBT+. But I don't fit any of those labels. I am a man, and I am only attracted to women. I don't even understand how/why straight/bi women are attracted to men. I'm glad they are though.

You could offer me a billion dollars to fuck a man, and I just would not be able to do it. No man is making my dick hard. My sexual identity is just as valid as yours. Gay people exist. Bisexual people exist. Straight people exist. You can't tell me I don't exist. I am attracted to women exclusively. To be clear, that includes trans women, some of those women are really beautiful. Trans women are women.
