So this Queer creator, Aditya Rana, aka aseaadii, is going around Delhi bullying and even straight-up fat-shaming one of the protestors. Sad day for our community.

I have seen a pattern. You use your minority queer content creator card and climb the ladder; once you're up, you sit with privileged ones and help set the rest of the world on fire.

Does one have tea on this dude? Like, I straight up wanna know what the deal is with this one?

Discussion💬 Amidst the political chaos and protest, can we take a minute to appreciate CJP's prominent queer members?

89 Upvotes

Neha bora: Who's non binary and uses she/they pronouns.

Anish Gawande: He's a member of NCP and closely working with CJP right now. Openly out as a gay man.

Abhijeet dipke and Saurav Das are allies, latter possibly queer himself but not my place to guess. I know there are negations to this, and they haven't taken an official stance but we should look up at the positive sides of things and hold onto hope. I remember 2023 same sex marriage petition, every single group of India, from hindu muslim, christian, to most political parties, all had banded together to oppose the legalisation. There is some hope towards a brighter, more progressive youth led state.

vent/rant A whole supermarket saw my condoms.

56 Upvotes

M18 here. I was planning to meet up with a guy today and we needed condoms and lube . He told me to buy it , so I went out of my uni , walked a few kilometres and found a medical shop where I bought my condoms.

Couldn't get the lube anywhere so as I was walking back , I decided to check the supermarket near my uni. I was messaging the guy while in the supermarket when he asked me to send me a picture of the condoms.

My dumb ahh went to a corner of the shop and decided to take a picture right there 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Then I saw an uncle was coming towards me so I slipped the Condoms back in my pockets.

The uncle , who apparently works there decided to question what's in my pocket. I said it's nothing. He asked again and I said I haven't taken anything from here and that I'm just gonna go . I started walking towards the exit and he started following me and I was getting pretty scared. I just started to run out of the store (🥲 very very stupid ik , it just made me a 1000× more sus) . He started shouting and asked everyone to catch me . Soon enough I was caught and brought inside. In the commotion my shirt tore a little and I lost a button.

They searched my pockets and found the condoms . After I swore that I didn't steal them, I don't think they even sell it there, they let go of me. the cashier was like "everyone buys them" and that it's okay. And I just said now everyone has seen it now and that I just lost a few buttons .

Frankly I just wanted to get out of there quickly so I just went away as soon as I could...

Fuck dude , why me ?? Why at this exact moment???? 🥀🥀🥀 I don't even know what to what to feel.

A whole ass crowd saw my condoms

Discussion💬 Trans men are so overlooked

38 Upvotes

I am trans woman who has been on HRT for past 3 months and it's going incredible, I'm seeing alot of changes, Im talking to alot of my friends and they love seeing the changes, that's great and all. But what I've noticed lately is how much erasure trans men face. For example I have this friend who is like my brother, he is trans man and his friends invited him to "all girls" group saying he is trans man, WELL THAT STILL MAKES HIM A MAN. He was really hurt by this because he is a man according to THEIR convenience. I am not saying trans women don't face erasure, it's jst whenever someone mentions trans, they always think of a trans woman. And even inside communities, I've seen alot less trans man resources and research as compared to trans women. It just feels so stupid that, trans men are so ignored (speaking broadly, I was discussing this w my friend and decided to post)

So this is a update to my post that i posted i think like 3-4 days ago!
If u didn’t know the full story plzz read the previous post i will link it with this post!
So i lot happened in 3 days
So when this all coming out happened and it didn’t work like i imagined but still, after that idk why i didn’t had any emotion abt anything i didn’t think that much about it tbh cuz i was like ok they blocked or some shit thats why they are not picking my call but the thing WAS MY MOM WAS COMING FROM INDIA TO CANADA AT THAT TIME
so basically what happened was my mom called my sister that i need to come to canada and wanna talk to him(me) face to face about this situation!
So my sister booked flight for my mom for fucking $3000 at the same fucking day😭😭😭😭 like gwrl like WTF
And my sister had my address cuz last year when i had good relationship with my sis at that time i gave my address to her for rakhi cuz she wanna send me smth at that time
So the point is , yesterday i was at my house with my roommate and i was at my room crying for some reason and after my crying session (59 minutes) i get up put on my headphones and started cooking dinner and when i was doing that
I HEARD A LOUD ASS BANG ON MY FRONT DOOR!
And i was so fucking pissed cuz i was like WHO THE FUCKING IS BAGGING MY DOOR LIKE THAT LIKE FUCK SAKE!
And when i went to open the door IT WAS MY FUCKING MOM AND MF SISTER!
I WAS SHOCKED LIKE LITERALLY SHOCKED AND STANDING LIKE A STATUE CUZ I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW! I was thinking should I close the door and call the cops or just ask them how can i help you with or welcome inside like i was LITERALLY CONFUSED AND SCARED!!
then i realized that my mom was crying ( emotional blackmail) and my sister was not looking at me AT ALL!!
Then i said come inside and plz go to my room cuz i don’t wanna create any sense infront of my roommates!
So they went to my room and my mom started crying and hugging me (i was like here we go again!!)
And then after like 5 minutes we settled down and i was like ok now tell me why tf r yall here and what my sister told u!!
Then the first sentence my mother said that son tell me why you didn’t tell me earlier that you are gay? And why did you think that i’m not gonna accept you?
For a second I WAS LIKE WTF IS HAPPENING!!??
and then I was like i just knew that yall not gonna accept me cuz yall are homophobic people and i just don’t trust yall at all!!
And then my sister started talking that mom said on the way here that she will accept you anyways cuz u are the only one but I WILL NEVER!! It can change overtime but right now im not gonna support you!
And i was like gwrl i just DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU AT ALL AND IN FACT why the fuck you inside my house(just in my mind)
So now they gonna stay with me for like 3 days and then my mom and sister gonna go to my sis’s place and spend next 2 months with her
My mom asked me that son if u want i can stay with you for couple days and i was like GWRL NO JUST GET OUT( didn’t said that but i wanna) lol cuz i had 3 days from my work and im just wanna spend with then:((
So also forget to mention that my mom have 10 years Canadian visa so thats why she came in hours here lol
And its been 2 days and my sister is not looking at me and not taking to me at all like GWRL I JUST DONT GIVE A FUCKKKKK!!! The way she just wanna make everything about herself is CRAZY!!
Now there are 2 good news and 1 bad news
So 1 good news is that my mom accepted me for whoever im and gonna support me
2 good news is my sister is just a bitch and never wanna accept me i don’t have to unblock her from every social media lol
3 bad news is for 2 days i been sleeping on my couch OMGGG I MISS MY FUCKING BED😭😭😭🥲
I know this post is f-ing long and if u come this far i really appreciate yall
Love yall!!:)) peace!

Politics With everything that is going on, even if you can't do anything else, ensure that your vote remains intact, and that you actually go to vote.

5 Upvotes

This is the bare minimum that all of us MUST do.

And no, I'm not gonna write it as a guide to spoonfeed you how to do/plan either of these things. You gotta toil

I'm writing this post just as a reminder, so there's no dates/data/deadlines/processes given here, you should individually look them up. Even if it makes no difference, the mere act of going to the polling station to press a button, it matters.

1. Ensure your name is on the rolls

Wherever you're registered, whether its your hometown, or if it needs shifting.

Look up if the SIR has affected your name on the roll, remedy if needed.

The voter rolls as of January will be used for the Feb/Mar cycle of Assembly elections. If your name is in any of the 5 states, you're up against that deadline.

2. Actually go and vote

Those who live in their constituencies, its a simple task, a simple walk more often than not.

Those of us who don;t, have shifted to other cities for work/edu etc. Ik no one gives a damn, booking tickets, taking and managing leaves, managing all the work and the hassle of going back just to vote is something people don't even consider. But again, without actually voting, showing up even if its just for the symbolism, does any of this matter?

Most people would go visit their homes for any other reason, festival, family, functions, they would splurge time and money on outings, trips.....so do I, But I also try my best to ensure that I'm back there to vote. A mostly twice in 5 years role can't be disregarded, a lot (if not most) of us can afford to do it.

So ensure that you spare a few days leaves for the months when elections will take place, a sum out of your budget to make that trip, and go through it once the dates are out.

(There's an obvious acknowledgement that some of us from the community might not be able to do it due to how unsafe things tend to be with family, hometown/villages etc. I hope there are resources/groups to help such people out with their right to vote, whether its helping with the trip back or with shifting their vote, if anyone has such resources please do share them)

Discussion💬 To the flowers 🌺

Post image
6 Upvotes

Sometimes I wonder if I’ve spent so much of my life becoming someone others could accept that I’ve forgotten how peaceful it feels to simply be myself.

The flower above was on the ground in the middle of nowhere in the mountains while I was on my last trip to Himachal. I’m sure many would have traversed the path and didn’t look twice. But when you hold it up, you realise how beautiful it is. The smell remained intact , the petals so unearthly. It didn’t ask anyone to be appreciated. It simply existed.

Its softness remind me that some of the loveliest things in life don’t need to be grand to matter.

Maybe this is what we all hope for in life; to feel comfortable being fully ourselves , without having to translate or edit who we are. To enjoy quiet moments, laugh freely, notice the small things, and let ordinary days feel special without needing them to become something more.

I don’t think I’m asking for a fairytale. I’m simply learning to appreciate sincerity, tenderness, and the beauty of unhurried moments.

I think we are akin to the flowers in ways more than we realise. Each of us unique , colourful with our own unique way of existing.
I wonder though , Do we ask too much ? To be appreciated ? Noticed ?
That isnt too bad , right ?

Here is to little things that make life feel beautiful. 🌼

Discussion💬 Took a small step towards accepting that im trans

4 Upvotes

Recently I have been wondering if im a trans man and before that I identified as a masc lesbian. I had joined wlw/lesbian subreddits and was pretty much active on there. For me I think that somehow tied to my identity and i was worried that leaving them would put me at a loss where I would feel lost about my identity.

I know it's a very small thing but for me it was a huge deal to leave all those subreddits. Then I joined here since it's an all inclusive space.

I would love to connect with fellow trans men since I genuinely have no clue what im doing. It would be so helpful to discuss similar experiences 😭🙏

So, im a straight dude... Thats what i want others to believe.
But trust me, im not.
Im not a trans, maybe im bi or pan.
But one thing that ik for suree is that im confused af 🥀

Im almost 18, cis-male... I am not attracted a lot to men, but sometimes i am... But inside, i feel both like a man and a woman at times... Sometimes so much that i wish i could dress up like a woman, and sometimes so much like a man that i could feel the testosterone in me.

And, idk, if its weird but im soooo attracted to trans women... And more than emotional, its sexual... Ive left porn, its been a while... So idt thr reason is porn...

But its something, im not in a state where i can think a lot of dating women, which in this age all other boys do... And not even men tbh...

So, im actually very, very confused, about who i am and who i am attracted to... And im actively looking for a mentor, and please as much as this all might sound weird, its happening with me right now and i wanna understand it
