Stereotype vs real people

Lesbian:

Manly/butch: I have long hair. I am a shirts and a jeans type of girl. I find myself more tomboyish than that. I like to wear things that I am comfortable in so...

Likes Home Depot: Rarely go unless my family and I need something from there.

Hates men: No. I hate jerks. I hang out with a few friends who are male and all are awesome!

Likes cats: Love dogs

Wears flannel: I like button down shirts, but usually just wear a regular t-shirt.

Vegan/vegetarian: Um, nope. I like eating meat.

Couldn't get a man: Not entirely true.

Overweight: Nope, I am 135 and around 5'6".

Likes camping: Hm.... depends where we go.

Drives a Subaru: Nope, Ford Taurus...it runs well

Into sports: I rarely play them, but if I do I would rather play than watch.

Watched The L Word: What is this?

 

Gay:
Has a lisp: Nope
Loves fashion: Nope
Liberal: Yep.
I like to go shopping: Nope.
Feminine: Nope.
Promiscuous: Nope.
Confused: Nope.
Likes Broadway shows: I've never been to one
Likes pop divas/mainstream poppy music: aha no.
Closer to mom than dad: Wayyy closer to my dad
Decorator, fashion designer etc: Sure, but your house and clothes will look badd
Way more female friends than male: Good friends are guys, but I find it easier to click with girls, so I have tons of girl acquaintances.

 

I'm known as the gay walker, all the strength and none of the weaknesses. No one ever believes me when I tell them I'm gay, so I guess I don't fit the stereotype at all.

 

Rude: No

Butch: Not really (have short hair but all in all not really butch)

Wears man's clothes: rarely

Overweight: No, almost skinny

Vegetarian: yes, I can't understand how y'all eat meat!!?

Hates men: sometimes, little feministic

Sportloving: Love to do sports but not watching it

Watches L word: Never done that

Male best friends: No, all boys here are stupid

 

Lesbian:

Masculine: NO. I'm a tomboy, but I still look fairly girly and I'm far from masculine. I don't like to wear dresses and skirts often, but it's not because I don't like the way they look. They make me feel really uncomfortable because I fear that people can see my panties. It's more about OCD tendencies than not liking the way they look.

Gamer: Totally fit into this one. I loves me some videogames.

Crazy cat lady: I'll admit that I have a soft spot for cats, but I don't really have any interest in owning one, at least not at the moment.
Even if I change my mind, I'd only have one. I'd personally rather have a goldfish. They're much easier to take care of and they're freaking adorable. :icon_bigg

Overweight: I'm 5'8" and I weight about 122lb. If anything, that's underweight.

Alchohol/drug problem: You kidding? I'm the only person in my family who DOESN'T drink/do drugs.

Obsessed with Lady Gaga and Madonna: I think they're good artists and I admire what they do for the LGBT community, but I'm far from obsessed. I think Madonna is a bit of a bitch nowadays.

Drives a Subaru: I don't drive yet, but I do like Subarus. My first car is most likely going to be a Volvo though, my mother loves those.

Man-hating femminist: I do consider myself a femminist, but only because I believe that people of all genders should be treated equally. I don't do that man-hating bullshit.

Radical liberal: I am a little liberal, but I'm far from radical. My political views are more independent.
I don't think fealons should be allowed to carry guns and I think the battle to carry guns in churches that's going on here in Georgia is ridiculous, but I still believe regular people should be allowed to carry concealed guns to protect themselves. Just don't go cuo-cuo with it.
I'll admit that the religous right makes me absolutely bonkers, but I don't hate all religous people, only the extremists.

Secular: I'm agnostic, so YEP.

Hipster: I'll admit that I'm fairly hipster, but I don't hate everything that's mainstream.

Vegan: I have iron-deficiency anemia, so no, I can't be vegan. Even if I didn't have it, I still wouldn't be a vegan. I love chicken, beef, turkey, and cheese WAY too much to give it up.
I wouldn't mind giving up pork though, EW.

Abused as a child: Emotionally, yes. Sexually, no.
I guess I fit into the lesbian with daddy issues stereotype. My birth-father and step-father are both asshats.

Obsessed with The L Word: I've never even watched that show before, but I watched a commercial for it and it doesn't seem too interesting to me.

Can't get a man: I've had dudes hit on me all my life, so no. If I wanted one, I wouldn't have trouble getting one.

Into sports: I played basketball, volleyball and soccer when I was little, but only because my dad made me. It was kinda fun, but I was terrible with them all and I don't think sports are my thing.

Emotional issues: I have bipolar disorder, so I guess that's a yes. I don't think it has much to do with me being gay, though. My mom has it also, so I probably got it from her.

Promiscuous; NO, I'm far from it. I can get horny sometimes, but I'm still a virgin. I want to wait until I find the woman of my dreams before I have sex. Sleeping with someone I don't love would feel violating.
All the straight people I know are much more slutty than I am.

Is willing to do threesomes: REALLY?! Please read the above.

Commits early: I'm really picky about what woman I want to date (hence why I'm still single). I only want to date a woman that I LOVE and I don't want to date more than a few women before I'm married. But still, I want to be in a long term relationship before I marry.

Butch/femme relationships: Sorry, that's not my thing. I want to be with a woman who's like me.

Who would be the 'man' in your relationship: NEITHER ONE OF US, DAMNIT. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS.

Stereotypes: mostly fail.

 

I agree with all your attitudes!!!!

 

Lesbian


Obsessed with plaid: not particularly

Dresses like a man: not really but in no way am I girly girl. I haven't worn a dress because I wanted to in 3 years now.

Loves Cats: I'm more of a dog person

Hates men: I tend to get along with guys better than girls!

Hate makeup: I wear the bare minimum if I'm feeling it but other than that yes.

Hate bras: I think all WOMEN struggle with this

Hate shaving: no I rather enjoy being clean shaven

Love sports: no. Never. I'm into the arts

Tomboy as a kid: nope!

Obsessed with the L word: well who isn't?

Try to recruit straight women: no use beating a dead horse, not to insinuate SW are dead horses.

Serious/no fun: well I think I'm funny

Butch women are overweight and have short hair: well I'm not REALLY butch, but yea I cut my hair off because I hated it and I'm kinda chubby but I'm working on that!

Just a Phase: well I hope not.


Stereotype: probably about half and half.... uhh sorry guys.

 

That my good sir, was an epic blade reference.

 

How could I forget? I love Orange Is the New Black and if you ask me about Alex Vause I will ramble for 5 minutes about my huge crush. Typical lesbian right there, huh? :roflmao:

 

Gay

Feminine: My closest friends have witnessed my more feminine side. Mainly though, I'm way more masculine.

High pitched voice: Nope. I've actually been complimented many times by girls who say that I have a sexy deep voice.

Shopping: If it's for a movie, yes. The only clothing that I really shop for is shirts. I look for nice button-ups to wear. So I guess yea, I'm a shopper.

Conscious About Appearance: I love my hair. I spend the most time in the morning fixing my hair. I love looking well groomed. I'm no fashion expert, but I do enjoy looking nice.

Hates Sports: I happen to enjoy sports (and not just for the guys). I am so pumped for the UConn vs. Florida game! I also get way too into baseball. I don't follow football, but I'll watch it if its on.

Lisp: Not even slightly.

Liberal: Only when it comes to Gay Marriage and religion. Everything else I am a conservative.

 

Lesbian
-Manly/Butchy: I have medium-lenght hair and shop in the female's section of the shops. I do love shorts and jeans over skirts and dresses, but I also wear the last two in parties. I wear make-up, and straighten my hair when I have to... but I also hate pink with passion... I don't even know why.
Hates men: Why would anyone hate someone based on their gender? It's insane.
Vegan/Vegetarian:... guilty. I did try to go vegetarian last year, thought I had to quit.
Into sports: The only reason I ever passed gym is pity. I'm horrible at every single sport in the world.
Likes cats: I don't like them. At all.
Can't get a man: I get hit on guys on the street, but never in a party or by a classmate.
Wears flannels: Never have I tried one, though they do seem comfortable.

 

Transgender:

Confused: Definitely not confused. I've felt this way since I was five.

Mentally disturbed: I don't believe so. Unless I'm so disturbed I don't realize it.

We hate our bodies: Can't say I "hate" my body. I just wish it wasn't the way it was.

Drag shows: PFFFFT no way

You can tell right away: Nawh, you look at me and you'll probably think lesbian
before trans.

We're weird: Well I am weird. But I don't think because I'm transgender has anything to do with it.

We're perverts: No no no! I had someone (online) say I'm going to touch little kids because I'm a transman. :dry: I didn't take that very well.

We're all prostitutes: I don't even want to have sex with my future boyfriend, let alone tons of people and sell myself for it. .-.

 

Thank you! :icon_bigg

"But how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!?"

(Just kidding, I wanted to reference Pink Floyd. :lol

 

Bisexual:

Promiscuous: The concept of promiscuity disgusts me, I can't bare the thought of multiple sexual relationships at a time, and infidelity, while I don't mind if other people do it, is something that I would end up hating myself for doing, it would make me less of a man.
Untrustworthy: I have lied before, but who hasn't? I'm guaranteed to keep a secret and about 99.9% of the things that come out of my mouth are true. (Except this sentence, or is it?)
Indecisive: Regarding attraction? No, regarding everything else, hell yes.. I'll stare at a menu for a solid 10 minutes, or stand in the middle of the isle at 7/11 just staring at things.
If in relationship, also craves other gender: Nope, I'm in a relationship with a man, so all the females, please move out the way.
Confused: I know who I am
Doesn't exist: I think I exist?
In a phase: Nah, don't think so.

Additional notes: masculine with 'feminine' traits such as a severe arachnophobia, an unwillingness to kill large insects, a cat lover, etc etc.

Summary: I think I shot the stereotype in the face.

 

Now I'm curious to see how I'd fare as a gay male.

Lisp: I don't have a lisp so much as an accent (my straight brother has the same accent too).
Fashion Fanatic: About 99% of my wardrobe was chosen for me; even then, I prefer to wear long sleeved shirts and cargo pants in blue or black for the sake of comfort (I avoid bright colours, even in the summer).
Political Liberalism: If politics was a food fight between the right and left wings, I'd be hiding under the table with my iPod in the middle of the cafeteria.
Femininity: My expression seems to lack any masculine or feminine identifiers. My identity leans toward masculinity.
Promiscuity: I'm not much of a fan of hooking up just because; I'm more of a quality of quantity kind of person (as in long term relationships over one night stands).
Confusion: I used to be confused, but not anymore.
Broadway: I've only seen the classics (Rocky Horror Show Live and My Fair Lady in accordance to my recent recollection). Otherwise, I don't care much about musicals.
Career as a hair dresser, interior designer, or fashion designer: I am an Arts student, but I'm interested in Writing; I can make use of independent thought that way to make a point if I so wish.
Interest in shopping: Only for anything technological (computers, video games) or for things I already plan to buy in advance. Otherwise, everything else is a waste of time for me.
Closer relationship to mother than father: My father was never a big part of my life anyway.
Wealth: I'm a student and I'm trying to find work for the summer in this modern economy. If I was rich like I would be stereotypically, I wouldn't need to get a job.
Obsession over Lady Gaga, Madonna, etc.: I don't really care much for their music; I'm into rock.
Dislike of sports: If you were an unfit kid in school, you wouldn't like sports anyway. Even then, I prefer martial arts than regular sports.
Diversity of friends: Most of my friends in high school were female; even then, I fit in with the geeks (as in awkward social rejects, not people who like nerdy things). These days, the ratio is slowly shifting to include more guys.
Voice Pitch: Slightly higher than average; most people would think that I'm a high schooler rather than gay due to a combination of my voice pitch and youthful appearance.

Overall fit for gay stereotypes: Sort of. Out of the hundreds of people I've met in my life, only one person suspected I was gay (and she was the first person I came out to; and she was a friend of mine).

 

YOU! YES, YOU behind the bike sheds! Stand STILL, laddie!!

 

Gay:

Has a lisp: Nope

Loves fashion: Depends, but I'm more of a jeans and hoodies type of person.

Liberal: Moreconservative, but some liberal tendacies

I like to go shopping: Yes, Yes, and yes

Feminine: Around cute guys, very much so. I do enjoy sports though and cars though.

Promiscuous: Nope.

Confused: Only just come to the conclusion.

Likes Broadway shows: I prefer ballet.

Is hairdresser/fashion designer/interior decorator: Will be studying Automotive Engineering.

Stereotype: Somewhat true.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transgender
Mentally disturbed:How would my GPA stay above 3.5 (whoa, B-sian coming through) if I was mentally ill?
Radically Liberal: I'm a conservative. I was liberal when I was younger, but I went right and never went back.
Drag Artist: I admit it. I don't actually like drag artists that much. *cough*RuPaul*cough*
Sexual Deviant: Time to get out that list of sexual acts that I find gross...
Confused: Being trans is not fun- I wouldn't say so if I wasn't. Besides, if I was "confused", I probably would not know what transgender people are, and I'd probably use stupid "bunself" pronouns (these crappy pronouns are like a virus- don't let it pass on to other parts of the net).

Bisexual
Promiscuous: Promiscuity is something I highly disapprove of.
Untrustworthy: I've lied a lot, but I'm not that bad- I'm not a compulsive liar; I'm just willing to make decisions that aren't so moral. I do what I think is right.
Indecisive:I generally know what I want when it comes to making goals. Give me a menu? Bam! I want that yam, that soup, all of your base, a Wonton Happiness salad from Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes, and a slice of cheesecake. But if you try to make me choose between two things that I want? ...Not so much.
Confused: Do these people really think I'm an impressionable moron?
Doesn't exist: Sadly, people have made up pronouns for "galaxykin" and "people who don't exist". Besides, if I'm here typing this, how do I not exist?
In a phase: "Golly, mister! I sure would like to get made fun of today!" Nope. I won't have any of that shit on my watch.

Tl;Dr: Not a sterotype. In fact, I don't have a Typical Trans Man Name, either. (Christopher sounds nothing like "Aidan" or "Skylar".)

 

Gay:

Likes listening to female artists: I mainly do, yes

Hangs around girls: Never had a close female friend. All my close friends are guys. Guess I just prefer guys in all aspects

Loves shopping: Only with guy-friends, looking for male-related stuff

Hates sports: The only sport I love is swimming

Is really feminine: Although I'm interested in some feminine stuff, my outside appearance/mannerisms aren't feminine at all

Loves girly drinks: My favorite drink is vodka

Liberal and non-religious: As liberal and as non-religious as it gets

 

Bisexual
Promiscuous: nah
Untrustworthy: nope, im always faithful to friends/family
Indecisive: sometimes I guess
If in relationship, also craves other gender: i hate to say sometimes
Confused: kinda. Still doubt if im gay or bi
Doesn't exist: im pretty sure i exist
In a phase: 99.9% sure its not
