Stereotype vs real people

Untrustworthy: Not really.

Confused: Not about my sexual orientation, at least.
Doesn't exist: Yes, obviously.
In a phase: Probably not?

 

Pansexual:

*Attracted to literally everything including inanimate objects: I'm only attracted to people, so that's not true.
*It's only a fad: I know how I feel, and it's my life, not a fad.
*There are only two genders, so pansexuality cannot exist: There are only two sexes, but there are many different genders, so this one isn't true.
*Pansexuals and bisexuals hate each other: I have many bi friends, and I don't hate them!

In a manner of speaking, I am both bisexual and a lesbian. See my thingy to the left for explanation.

As a bisexual:

Promiscuous: I only have eyes for my loved one. I'm even loyal to celebrity and fictional character crushes. I'm weird, I know.
Down for threesomes: threesomes are weird to me. I see it as a step removed from an orgy. No offense intended to those who like threesomes, they're just not my thing.
Only doing it for guys: see above points.

As a lesbian:

Man-hating feminist: I like men, I just don't want to date them.
Dressing like a dude: I dress androgynously, but I am clearly a chick.
Liberal, environmental activist, vegan, hipster, etc: No.

 

Lesbian

likes playing: video games true

hates men : Not true I'm friends with some men

wants to be a man :I like being a girl

Manly or butch : I'm very feminine and have long hair

can't find a man : I get hit on by men

 

Lesbian:

Manly/butch: Sort of. I still have long hair and wear clothes to fit women's sizes, I just wear more gender neutral or boyish clothing. I tend to walk and carry myself more boyish subconsciously. I have a deeper voice. I'm not girly. I'm into more "manly" things like motorcycles and muscle cars though. I don't want to be a man.

Likes Home Depot: Hahaha, I loved it as a kid because it was fun to ride those big carts.

Hates men: No. I hate douchebags, but not all men are douches.

Feminist: Yes, but not a "feminazi."

Likes cats: LOVES CATS.

Wears flannel: Sometimes, I own a few collared flannel button downs.

Vegan/vegetarian: Noooo I could not live without meat!

Couldn't get a man: Men hit on me often.

Overweight: I'm a skinny minnie at 120 lbs and 5'6"

Likes camping: Hell yeah I do...especially RVing!

Drives a Subaru: Naw, a Toyota Corolla.

Into sports: Sports bore me.

Watched The L Word: Never even seen it lol

 

Gay:

Has a lisp: Not sure, you judge :lol: ####### | Voice message

Loves fashion: Sort of true, but my STRAIGHT dad is the one who cultured me in clothing and such.

Liberal: I am a bleeding-heart conservative. That's probably the best way to put it.

I like to go shopping: Yeah, but anything more than an hour and I get cranky.

Feminine: I actually enjoy activities and things that fall in the realm of masculinity.

Promiscuous: I actually view dating as a gateway to a long-term relationship.

Confused: I've known I liked men exclusively from an early age.

Likes Broadway shows: I actually hate musicals, but do enjoy plays from time to time (12 Angry Men is my favorite).

Is hairdresser/fashion designer/interior decorator: My degree is in economics/business so I doubt I'll end up in those fields :lol:.

 

Transgender:
Mentally disturbed: I honestly don't know about this part.
Radically Liberal: Liberal? Yes. Radical? Not entirely. I still support gun control.
Drag Artist: Never done drag, but I want to. I have a friend who does drag shows, though.
Sexual Deviant: I honestly don't know what entails this. If by "cheater", then hell no.
Confused: Kind of.

Gay:
Has a lisp: Yes? Kind of? But it's more of the geeky/nerdy kind, I guess. Whenever it presents itself.
Loves fashion: If by "fashion" you mean jeans and a T-shirt, sure.
Liberal: Sure. But I've been liberal since an early age.
I like to go shopping: Yes, but I don't do it often.
Feminine: Yes? No? You tell me. This has more to do with gender.
Promiscuous: Currently in a committed relationship.
Confused: I'm not confused really, I know exactly what I get aroused by. But not everything's black/white. I actually might be pansexual, after some events today.
Likes Broadway shows: Yes. Hell yes, I do. But I've loved them since a pretty early age and they're core to my upbringing.

Transgender stereotype: Fail
Gay stereotype: I say fail, you can tell me otherwise.

 

Love Broadway musicals: I'm not into musicals. I don't dislike them, but I never watched one to judge whether I would like them or not.

Closer to mom than dad: This is very true for me.

Wealthy: I'm dirt poor.

Obsessed over Lady Gaga, Madonna, etc.: I appreciate them as artists and what they have done for LGBT folks, but I don't worship them.

Has good sense of fashion: Um no lol. I just wear simple clothes from H&M, Kohl's, etc. I'm not very fashion savvy, don't keep up with trends, etc.

Dislike sports: I don't like sports

 

Nothing's wrong with being stereotypical, either

 

Transgender:

Mentally disturbed: well, I'm not exactly mentally sound...
Sexual Deviant/fetishist: actually, sex worries me.
Confused: not particularly. don't mistake my periodical socially induced sense of guilt-shame for confusion.
Just don't want to be gay: socally I'd be considered straight now
Hypermasculine: I'm such a fruitcake omg
Easy to spot: yes and no. do I pass consistently as my gender? no. does anyone seem to notice i'm trans? also no, since a lot of cis-women wear dude clothes.
Pervert: considering I see dicks everywhere this would have to be a resounding yes

 

Bisexual:

Promiscuous: Sometimes, maybe...
Untrustworthy: No, I'm sincere.
Indecisive: Too much!
If in relationship, also craves other gender: No, I don't need both genders at the same time. Plus, I don't crave "genders", I crave people.
Confused: Not anymore.
Doesn't exist: I exist, obviously...
In a phase: Yes, since kindergarten.

Yeah, that's the point of this thread. Sometimes we fit the stereotype, sometimes not. :icon_wink

 

Well, I'm still not sure whether I'm bi or gay, so I'll do both (!)

Bisexual
Promiscuous- Nope. Still a virgin. I'm a slut in my head though
Untrustworthy- Farthest thing from it.
Indecisive- In general, I'm totally indecisive.

Lesbian
Loves Lady Gaga, Madonna etc- Heck to the yes
Wears flannel- Never ever ever
Butchy- you'll never see me in a dress, but I'm definitely not butchy either.
Into sports- I like baseball, that's it.
Couldn't get a man- Men hit on me but I find it annoying as fuck and blow them off, whoops.

 

Lesbian

Wears flannel - I have one shirt like this, I would actually like another one
Masculine - No, I like being comfortable in my clothes but I dress quite girly and have long hair
Likes sports - Not really, I'd rather play it then watch it, but I don't do it often at all.
Couldn't get a man - Definitely not, I got hit on by one just this past Sunday
Into The L Word - Yes, can't lie but I watch a lot of shows with lesbian content
Hates Men - No I love everyone
Feminist - Somewhat
Vegan - No
In my same sex relationships one was the man - No, all my relationships have been equal
Feminine lesbians are only interested in masculine lesbians - No I prefer feminine girls

I would say that's a fail

 

I'm bisexual with a preference for guys, but nearly everything about me fits a gay stereotype.

1. I absolutely hate sports.
2. I love cooking, and I bake with my step-mom every weekend.
3. I like girly colours, like pink, yellow and purple.
4. I love going shopping, but only if it involves DVDs or games.
5. I make very feminine hand gestures and am known at school for always putting my hands on my hips.
6. I love Britney Spears. My favourite song is Toxic.

 

Transgender:
Mentally disturbed: Probably XD
Radically Liberal: I dont really know wht is means >.<
Drag Artist: Never done it, dont know anyone who has
Sexual Deviant: Far from it~
Confused: Sort of~ not too confused though ^.^

Gay:
Has a lisp: Nope~ i speak quite clearly
Loves fashion: Sort of~ i like it and i dont at the same time
Liberal: ?
I like to go shopping: YES!! I love it <3
Feminine: Yep ^.^
Promiscuous: Nope, once i find someone i will stay with them
Confused: Nope not really~ i like boys
Likes Broadway shows: Never seen one i dont think

Transgender stereotype: Fail i think
Gay stereotype: I dont really know XD

 

Lesbian:

Masculine: Eh, only sort of. I prefer to say tomboyish. I have long hair, but wear men's clothing.

Likes cats: Yes, I fit this one.

Hates men: Nope.

Can't get a man: Actually, this is mostly true because men rarely hit on me. But it has nothing to do with anything since I'm not interested.

Abused as a child: Nope.

Into sports: Eww I hate sports.

Into the L word: No, I despised it.

Commits early: Not really. I'm not into casual things, but it still takes me a while to say "I love you" and I don't move in with someone in a relationship under two years.

I've also seen the promiscuous stereotype (Seriously, does this apply to everyone in LGBT)? And no. If anything I'm sex-repulsed/reserved. I'm more conservative in sex than even my strong catholic straight friends.

 

Gay:

I’m half and half. I am both Masculine and Feminine Gay. Kinda weird I know.

Sports: I absolutely love Hockey, but that really the only sport I like/watch.

Feminine: I don’t really act Feminine, but I can go from watching a hockey game to crying at a girly movie. I’m pretty sensitive actually, but the only people who know that are previous boyfriends. I love romance books and there pretty much the only thing I read.

Colors, I love pretty much love any color, I love pink though(hence pinklover, ha)

Clothes: I wear super skinny jeans and like to wear bright colors

Shopping: I don’t mind clothes shopping, but when at book stores/ electronic/target I like to just look around and have fun with friends.

Friends: Most of friends are guys, not girls.

Diet: I don't eat meat, but I do eat fish... Pescatarian. I love salad!!!

Alcohol: I love cocktail/white wine/rose
