ive known so many “cis” people who’ve told me they thought they might be trans or nonbinary but they dont really experience dysphoria so they felt like they werent allowed to call themselves trans. how many people have had to live their lives in the closet because they were told they werent in enough pain

I’ve had these on my computer for a while and wanted to post them. So ye.
I love BBC Merlin so much. Where else will you find a show which has both the line “In life you always have a choice. Sometimes it’s easier to think that you don't” and a scene where an old man gets possessed by a goblin and turns the king bald

Chronicles of Narnia:
Every so often I see people wondering how a “lack of sexuality” counts as a sexuality. (Or in one case, why asexuality counts as a sexuality and hypersexuality is medical condition).
And I think this question comes as a result of people, either by accident or maliciousness, misidentifying what asexuality actually is.
Aphobes and exclusionists like to portray asexuality as simply a matter of magnitude. You’re not really ace. You’re a straight/gay/bi person who doesn’t have/want sex. Like there’s a z axis of the kinsey scale that indicates “amount”. If they even give us that much validity.
But ultimately, asexuality is not about magnitude. An asexual person can actually have a sex drive. We can have libidos. We have hormones and biological reactions just like everyone else. Asexual people can feel horny. And surprise, there are asexual people who have been diagnosed with hypersexuality.
(And if you want to know how a sex-repulsed asexual handles a healthy sex drive…well, simply put, we’re generally capable of seeing to our own needs, thank you.)
Asexuality is not a matter of magnitude. It’s a matter of direction.
Of orientation if you will.
It might help to look at it like this. If sexual desire is a multiple choice exam, then these are some of the options that you might have.
a) Women.
b) Men.
c) Multiple genders.
d) None of the above.
For asexual people, the answer is “d) None of the above”. Admittedly, for others on the ace spectrum, the answer might fluctuate a bit more. But our default position is going to be “d”.
And THAT’s why it’s a sexuality.
Very Good Trope: Civillian is told “ stay in the car” while hero goes to confront villain. Hero gets in over head and all seems disaster. Civillian crashes car into villain.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how hard John Sheppard flirts with alien women, but only when McKay is around? Like, whatever you hc his sexuality, he does not give one single fuck about these women. His number one goal is to keep Rodney from getting any, and I think that’s very sexy of him.
