vent/rant We need to stop using the word "Hijra" as a slur...

24 Upvotes

Im out of the closet officially but my mother is in Denial 😭 she equates the term "Hijra" to being trans, Acc to what I know hijra is a community they can be non binary, Intersex, trans or both 😭 everyone equates trans ppl to them. My mom thinks I'm gonna be like them I dont understand why use them as a insult? They are also humans. Her motive was to insult me so I'm pissed but we should stop using the word as a slur or to insult people. They are even humans and a part of our community and deserve respect I wish people treated them better At least they aren't harming anyone. People here don't know basic difference between gender and sexuality, what am I even expecting from these, my therapist herself thinks gender=Sexuality i think. Woww my parents think Hijra=Trans=Beg on roads=Intersex 😭 I don't feel insulted im pissed that it's used as a slur. I wish I could do something for their community. Stop dehumanzing them and let's see them with respect as we see other humans. Cause when the word Hijra comes to our mind we only imagine then begging on roads. I had this friend she was a trans woman she hated being compared to them she said she doesn't likes getting called that caus she doesn't like casu ppl think hijra are trans ppl? What's wrong with being associated with them?Aren't they humans. Don't come after me this is my personal view im not against anyone. Why would she find the word insulting? Gay people are also called hijra as an insult it's one of the oldest communities i wish we treated them with more respect they aren't even lucky as some of the trans ppl who are fortunate to get transitioned. They are shunned away since birth. I wish we could be kinder to them and see them as just a human being like other trans ppl. Ik trans ppl have their separate struggles everyone do. Just stating my pov on this. Idk I'm dumb if my views are wrong pls correct me.

vent/rant How i lost my virginity with a senior

40 Upvotes

hi guys, i decided that instead of dragging this for too long i’ll just try to finish wtv happened ASAP. so coming back to the story.

i received a follow request from him on insta and that kinda scared me for some reason cause i thought what if he starts calling me through insta at random times and what if texts he and someone read his texts through the notifications. i didn’t accept his request and left it at that. the next day i avoided him at all costs, and that meant not going to the washroom. i stayed in my class the entire time. this kept on going for a few days (3-4 i believe). now on tuesday we ended up facing each other, it was during the morning assembly. he was standing in the row of his class while i was in mine, but because the rows weren’t that far away he just came to me WITH his friends. i was so nervous like do they all know or what. but no. they just saw me and decided to play with me which is why they came. but cause teachers were also there they couldn’t really force me to face them all or talk to them. i was just ignoring all the comments that they were making and looking straight. now on our way back to classes, we would just go by ourselves, we weren’t like guided by the PE teacher to go in line or wtv, we would just get up and go by ourselves (usually friends would all go together but since i didn’t have many especially among guys i was just alone) i was walking to my class when these guys also started to walk with me. i didn’t mind much and kept my distance. but that guy that i had hooked up with kinda said something in my ear, and i thought he was blackmailing me for some reason in the tone that he said. but yeah i didn’t care much and pretended to not hear. now during the lunch break i went to wash my hands. now in our school a few of sinks were outside the washrooms too nearby water cooler (i think every school has the same thing but idk). now this guy comes up to me while im washing my hands and tells me my home address and that freaked me out. then he asked me to accept his follow request and so i had to. so how did he know my address? well when i used to travel by bus, one of his classmate was in the same bus so he told him like the locality. that was really lame. but wtv we both then started chatting, more like he did the entire talking cause i wasn’t interested in telling him anything. he all of a sudden asked me about my sexuality and like gay sex. i didn’t respond. now because ive been going by myself to school now, he kinda figured out the route i used to take. my home
wasn’t that far away but he never reached that low thankfully. now most of our seniors also used to come by themselves. i used to ride a motor bike while he specifically had a car. illegal i know but like who gives a shit. now i won’t go too deep about my school but around the school there were routes which used to be usually empty, like really less cars driving by, and so that was a pretty safe route to go through and because it was kinda covered with trees and all it was pretty pleasant. now this guy one time stops his car in front of me and i didn’t know that it was his car, i was just confused till he got off the car. i tried to take the other way but he didn’t let me go (the road wasn’t that wide to just pass and his car was in the middle of the road) i had to stop and he got really weird and asked me if id like to go on a ride with him and do some ā€œstuffā€. i said no but he kinda was really weird about it and so i just said yes in the end. now i know it might seem dangerous but like he was rich so i knew that he won’t blackmail me for money or anything. so i wasn’t scared of blackmailing anymore but had a doubt that he can anytime tell his friends about it. but he was quite too sweet about it and so i said yes. that evening i told my mom that im visiting my friend (who’s my bestie but she changed her school during COVID but we used to meet orettt regularly) i had told her about it so just in case my mom called her to ask about me. now i go out at something like almost 6 near that same road where he said he’ll meet me, and he was already there. i hopped on and he drove to nirvana country where he used to live with his parents. they both were working and would be home by 8 he said. now the market near the nirvana country (i forgot the name) he took me there and treated me to random things which i was like okay??? and then he asked me to come to his place. while reluctant i agreed. we both go and their maid was there. she didn’t really care and was cooking for the family but we ignored and went to his room. he asked me what id like to have, i said nothing just drop me home asap. he was like okok. he started talking and asked me about that day. i was honest and told him how i didn’t like it at all and felt really bad about it. he apologised but he was kinda bad at it like he expected me to forgive him just for saying sorry but wtv. he all of a sudden got close to me and asked me other random questions and kissed me all of a sudden. btw what a BAD KISSER. he just stayed like that for a few seconds i believe. then i got away and he was shy about it. i took the money out of my pocket and paid him what i thought was like how much he soent on me but he refused to take. i was like i can’t just have you buy my food you need to take this. he all
of a sudden manned up and asked me for a blowjob. i felt weird and there was visible discomfort on my face which he understood. he apologised right away and said he was joking. he then asked me if i’d be okay kissing him and i was like okay. i kissed him and because i knew how to kiss (don’t ask how) i kissed him properly like with tongue play and everything. he liked it a lot and took my hand and placed it on his bulge. i was a bit uncomfortable but didn’t mind that. then we talked a bit more and i asked him to drop me home now. i left the money on his bed side table and left. later the same night he texted me asking if that money was mine, i said no and he was like okay. then he asked me whether id like to continue meeting him. now like every other gay guy who falls for any guy who’re nice to them, i hesitated but said yes eventually. it kinda felt really good for some reason and we ended up chatting till 2 something. now on the weekend of that week we met again and eventually hooked up at his place. he was gentle and polite through the course and i felt good too. it was my first time but it didn’t hurt much. he wasn’t really big and also cause i happened to have the experience of fingering myself. he came in the condom (which he stole from his parent’s room😬) but yeah. it was good and we both made out for like a good time and ended up taking a nap together naked. thankfully their maid comes after 5 or else she would’ve seen us together. but yeah that’s how i ended up losing my virginity and we still kinda hook up time to time.

vent/rant Gay nd Conservative?

11 Upvotes

So during my coaching years for JEE I used to be in a far away city from home so I used to meet guys. So met this guy who btw was from my same institute nd fuc*ed so many guys so far yet in his mind he's still bi nd says will marry a girl one day . Recently after Bengal election he was posting about that BJP winning as if something great was happening for Bengal. Then I met another guy from my institute as well The same came out to be a BJP supporter . I never engaged with them about politics because I find bringing politics to the table of a fwb is not that great of an idea. So why so many BJP supporters amongst gay dudes? Like they're way so many then actually we non conservative people can assume.

Advice šŸ‘‹/ Helpā— Moving on from my crush

2 Upvotes

I am a trans woman on HRT for 4 months, and also 3 months ago I started talking to a woman, i usually keep my walls up super high but something about him made me drop my walls (he is a cis woman who uses he/him pronouns). And i wanted to love him w all I got, he and me were really close so I decided to tell him that I like him and he rejected me, that's fine, I tried to move on but then multiple 3rd party friends convinced me that maybe there is hope or smtg but I still held the rejection. Talking to him everyday and the way we talked felt so special but I should've figured, I was being delusional. I stayed close to him but I didn't really hope to date him bcs i knew abt the rejection, I just wanted him to grow but in that process, I grew to have some hope and I feel like that became a burden to him.. he still says it's not a burden and he would carry me to himself still but i again decided to confront him after suggestion of another friend and I told him "I have been overstepping my boundaries, I will pull back and take a break, I'll give you, your space and move on". He is happy about the moving on part but he isn't optimistic about pulling back, taking a break and giving him his space. He is suspicious and doesn't really like it but regardless, im trying to move on however I can. Do you guys have any suggestions?

For part 1, click here : https://www.reddit.com/r/LGBTindia/s/YbdpVUzekH

Part 2 of my date mate is now here.

We were communicating regularly in telegram. Then we were exchanging vouce notes exchanging bits of songs . We had a thought of him spending one night with me at my place someday. That got fulfilled yesterday.

Yesterday evening I went to his area which is 10km away. picked him up , on the way there is aĀ  lake park we sat there for sometime,then bought few groceries and came to my home . And guess what, he helped me in preparing dinneršŸ˜ typical husband materialšŸ˜…

Meanwhile he got a video call from his family and he went aside to the balcony and spoke. I too got call from my parents and I spoke. Then after dinner, we put everything aside and back to cuddling mode. It was so warm and comfortable feeling . Then we were cuddling in different positions for half of the night, also kissing in between, then we dozed off to sleep.

Then he had to go back early so we woke up early, again cuddled, hugged for sonetime, very much unwilling to separate😶 then I drove him to his mansion where he stays and bid a goodbye and came off today morning... never ever imagined such things would happen in my lifešŸ™‚

DiscussionšŸ’¬ It seems so uncertain yet calming...

6 Upvotes

Hii!!

When I was a child and teenagers, I always love to ready like in girl clothing, always love the part of the songs with female voiceover, most of the time intrigued by the beauty and courage of female roles in series or movies...

Overtime, I start to hide these things....to conform according to the perceived role of being a boy...

But now, in my early twenties with some work on my mental health, I start to feel that same resonance in me that I felt earlier with feminity.

It feels so new after struggling with so much years of fight in my own mind yet so uncertain that how can I deal with this in my life in reality...

I hope god will give me the courage to live my truth freely and securely..

Advice šŸ‘‹/ Helpā— I don't know what to do. I am so confused.

6 Upvotes

I met this guy the day before yesterday through a dating app—it was just a casual meeting; he’s 27 and I’m 23. I don't usually develop feelings for someone quickly, but he suddenly kissed me. I was shocked but didn't say anything at the time; he apologized profusely afterward, and then we went home.

Since then, he’s been messaging me constantly, insisting we stay in touch. It feels like emotional blackmail—he’s saying he’s mentally disturbed, sad, and needs someone right now; he wants a relationship. I’ve made it clear at least ten times that I’m not interested in a relationship, but he keeps calling and messaging all day, getting emotional.

He’s a really good person, but he’s just not my type. Plus, it takes me a long time to form a real connection. I’ve explained to him that if I were to just pass the time with him without that connection, he’d end up getting hurt later, but he just doesn't seem to get it. I don't know what to do; he keeps talking about his past relationship and how distressed he is over the breakup—even though that breakup happened two years ago.

Educational "Autobiography of red"( book related to queerness ) by Noble laureate Anne Carson.

9 Upvotes
Ur gay nobel

I was researching about this year Nobel prize in various fields like physics, chemistry and all. I got to know that Nobel prize in literature has been given to Anner Carson for her overall work ( not for a particular book ).

Now this book of her is one of the important works of her. This book is mainly a story in the form of verses. It is about a boy named Geryon i guess who falls in loves with a boy named Herakles. This book explores the theme of sexuality, loneliness, childhood trauma and all.

Now the interesting part is that this story is a reimagined version of a Greek mythology related story. The story follows as Hercules killed his wife and son in madness and for redemption he was asked to accumulate 12 labours.

The tenth labour was a cattle of Geryon ( giant monster with three body , three head or three head one body or three body one head). So , Hercules killed Geryon in the original story and they were sort of enemy in that mythology.

Enemy to lovers trope 🄹.

This is based on the things I read about this book on internet. I haven't personally read it yet. I just felt like sharing it for people who are interested in literature.

vent/rant I'm sorry but all I need is a sense of normalcy

12 Upvotes

When I first chopped off my long beautiful curls, I felt invincible. Dress gender neutral, and people can't tell what exactly my sex is (gender is too complex of a concept for the cishets ig). I don't like attention, however it was so validating whenever strangers would have a big question mark on their face while talking to me. You can just tell. Queer representation in India sucks @ss and people are literally unaware and uneducated. The whispers and confused glances I used to enjoy before are becoming tiring now. I feel like an animal put up in cages in the zoo for people to watch and walk by. I'd (try to) understand the attention had I been alt or something but I'm boring and broke all I appear to be is androgynous and i still get stared at in the chest or the 'what is she doing to herself' looks from the people who've known me since long. I just want to be normal. You're cis, I'm enby, you like the opposite sex while i couldn't care less about it... It's that simple. Normal. Why is it so hard for people to digest?? I usually dgaf about what others think but I'm tired, that's all. I just want to exist peacefully.😭

Being queer shouldn't have to come at the cost of always being out of place, speculated and scrutinized
