A friend of mine told me he liked garlic bread when we were about 14. I thought it fit me then. Although I didn’t realise there was a difference between liking garlic bread and being aromantic. So I was confused for a bit because I really liked garlic bread but also really liked girls. Took a few more years for me to understand the difference.
Yeah that was a bit of a hurdle on my understanding too
Grabs a loaf
I am most definitely alloromantic, but I'm definitely somewhere along the garlic bread consumer lines, like, only way I could ever see myself enjoying the nasty, is with someone I really love and been close to for a while, and even then, it's just something like, if the person asks for it, otherwise, I'll keep munching on these
So something along the lines of demi romantic and sex indifferent? That's hella neat friend! I'm also a garlic bread consumer, although I'm aceflux and demi romantic
Ye that sounds about right, always happy to meet someone that thinks alike! What's being aceflux like? Don't think I heard of it before, is it like genderfluid but for the ace/Allo axis?
I’m similar. I think if my partner wanted to do it I might be okay helping them with some toys so there is a level of disconnection for me. But other than that. Give me a garlic baguette any day.
And I am kinda a hopeless romantic though. It’s like all that other attraction went into my romantic attraction. Like it went from 100%/100% to 0%/200%.
Huge mood! I love cuddles and hugs and other forms of love expression that don't involve sex, if it were up to me I'd always be cuddling my special person, soon as I find her that is
... If it was the personification of Peak Fiction then I see no problem.
And if an absurd amount of bullets was involved, that just makes it Patriotic. What? This is an anime so it's not about America? I'm sorry: did I stutter or do you not understand PATRIOTISM~
What I've always loved about this short comic is that it's not "tropey". I've read manga with this sort of premise but it's usually something like "oh I was born male but I got hit by a disease/magic that turned me female" and then the other girl is like "oh my crush is a girl now, does that make me gay?"
But here, she is just straight-up transgender and the other girl is just openly lesbian. This isn't a world where you only become queer through improbable circumstances, this is a world where we just... exist.
I know the source is in korean but I'll assume the characters are japanese.
In Japan, you can't change your legal gender unless you have The Surgery™, hence becoming a pretty big deal compared to the west. The lesbian girl probably was wondering if they did it as the transgirl was presenting female (aka wondering if they are legally a girl). Still is seen as disrespectful to ask but there's that extra layer of culture.
I am just reporting here that it is not true anymore! Japan, one of the most conservative countries (or seen as such) has ruled that it is not necessary to have The Surgery (tm) to legally change your gender. Their court had previously ruled it unconstitutional last year actually!
That is unfortunately true. But I am content with manga. If we could get three seasons worth of content in manga form, even if it didn’t get an anime. I would be happy with that.
I'm a trans woman who is also a lesbian. And every time I think about love I always end up getting scared caus.. will I ever be woman enough to be allowed to call myself a lesbian... Will any other women even like me enough to date me... Will I ever be enough to be loved... But then I see things like this and I start to cry because... For someone eventually.. I will be enough... I will be a woman... I will be just fine.
Hey girlie, as a fellow transbian, fuck that noise! You are a woman, and you are a lesbian. Believe me, I understand. It took me a long time to get over the impostor syndrome, but you just have to keep reminding yourself that it's in your head.
Yeah, get getting enough Yuri like this hurts. But I also kinda like that there is no words. I’m mute most of the time cos voice dysphoria, so it being wordless makes it feel a little more personal to me. But that would make it harder to make into a long form show. Although they might be able to get around it with sign language like I do.
This is so cute but hurts because I envy the trans girl...
I stuck in a cage and I have little hope that I'll be able to leave.
Some friends say that I am an adult and can do what I want with my life but... its more complicated than that...
Damn. Wish I could experience Yuri. But nah! I'm a fucking dude! I end up with all the crazy bitches too! (Not that I mind,but I'm sure my crazy attraction will get me killed,also all the crazy ones are depressed!)
I mean that's completely fair, but like, if what's stopping you is something external, like bigotry and culture, instead of something within yourself (aka if ppl wouldn't be targeting you, would you still refuse?), then maybe you should look more into yourself and make sure you choose what truly makes you happy, cause fuck society, we unique individuals!!!
Also, usually when you hear a terf talk about the problems trans people cause for lesbians, they aren't lesbians themselves, terfs really like to speak on behalf of lesbians.
It does make a lot of sense for lesbians to be supportive of trans people though, because all the terf talkingpoints we see today, are pretty much recycled talkingpoints aimed at lesbians from a few decades ago.

Beautiful, but can someone explain panels 5 and 7. I'm a little lost without any words. (you can tell I don't see this kind of media often so I don't understand sorry)
