LGBTQ2 and Incel Culture

Nina replies: Here is a thought, angry and desperate is not attractive. Develop a personality and find your physical style.

society’s standards are only to blame to a point. then, it is down to your personal presentation to attract a partner or multiples, one after the other or overlapping

There is also the matter of unrealistic expectations people have from movies and tv shows about human relationships, they are effort not an entitlement.

from the article:

But the movement is growing increasingly popular amongst the LGBT+ community.

‘I am ashamed to say that I’m a gay incel. For a long time I’ve felt deprived of getting the attention of men. It has made me bitter and resentful towards them.

‘I don’t want to say that I’m shallow because I like a wide range of men as long as they’re masculine. Maybe to some that sounds shallow. But I don’t care because it’s my life and I have a right to choose who I want to date or have sex with.

‘Why should I have to settle for less because I have a hard time finding a date?’

That’s what one frustrated gay incel wrote in repsonse to my heavily opinionated video titled Too Ugly for Sex: Gay Incels.

You can see that original video about the world of ‘gaycels’ here:

A trans guy commented on the same video, that:

“I relate to some incel content. But it stops as soon as they get into the realm of pure hatred towards women because… Well, I kinda used to be one of those.’

Indeed, I’ve had similar comments from queer women and men alike. All of them loathe their inability to obtain sex and romance. Moreover they all blame society’s cruel beauty standards for the barriers they face.

https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/why-a-growing-number-of-lgbt-people-are-incels-and-angry-they-arent-having-sex/Why a growing number of LGBT+ people are incels – and angry they aren’t having sexThe ‘gaycels’ claim that the LGBT+ world’s unrealistic standards of beauty force them to be ‘involuntarily celibate’. But are they making it worse for themselves?www.gaystarnews.com

Sexual and Gender Spectrum Points


back in the 1990s, A lesbian friend of mine tried to set me up with a friend of hers. I say tried, because she’d brought this gal along to a group outing without telling me it was a set up.

The gal was in a relationship with a man (living together) and was thinking she might be bi.

She was very confused since the people she talked to the boyfriend and our mutal friend both wanted her to pick sides. The boyfriend obviously wanted her to be straight, while the lesbian friend refused to believe in bisexuals and tried to influence her to be a lesbian.

And that’s where I came in. We talked, we danced and had a fun time – and when she was leaving the dance, I walked her outside to wait for her ride home to arrive.

She was nervous to be alone, and being the generous sort that I am, I put the cards on the table.

“Do you want me to kiss you now or when your roommate comes for show?”

“Now” she said, “I don’t want an audience.”

I was happy to be her first girl kiss, and it was pretty magical.

But then, she felt guilty and admitted that it was her roommate and her boyfriend who were due to arrive.

I told her that I had known, that our mutual lesbian friend had explained the situation to me.

I asked her if she was willing to leave the guy to explore her new identity and she said no.

I asked her if she’s given up other men for him – of course she said

So why does it matter if you’re happy with him that you’ve also given up women?

The relief that flooded her face and body was amazing.

I saw her another time for a friendly coffee and I went to a cafe where she was having an art show. I can only hope it’s as sweet a memory for her as it was for me.

Mostly I am glad that I was able to give her permission to enjoy her heterosexual relationship without guilt or pressure.

It’s funny to me how many times that I have been asked to give people permission to live the life that they want to; and every time, it’s been about sexuality.

If there’s anything a person should know about themselves, it’s sexuality. Know what you’re attracted to, what you like, and don’t be afraid to be yourself.

It doesn’t matter what you like, as long as you don’t harm other people – unless they give you permission to and establish a safe word.

bisexual is a spectrum, it is not a 50/50

there is a difference between what is done to you

and what you do for your partner

The saying “gender is between the ears and sexuality is between the legs” is easy to remember, but too simplistic. Your gender is whatever you feel and believe it is.

Believing in a gender binary, where only “men” and “women” exist, has created a stifling system where personality traits are attributed to one gender or the other. This ignores the vast intersections where male, female, and non-binary characteristics exist, co-mingle, and crossover.

nina tryggvason

everyone is their own expert and coupledom is up to any given couple, i have been pondering the relationship of heterosexuals who date BTQ2s vs those who are PFLAG allies so – this is an intellectual/academic question- how does one person identify as a heterosexual male when their partner is not a heterosexual woman? their relationship is more queer than a heterosexual male/ bisexual woman or a bisexual man/gay man.

it is good to know that for some couples, it does not change anything. as for the couples who separate and divorce even, that happens for many reasons as each person grows in their own way and when the couple is doing less than their best life. it is time to make changes.

let the heterosexual women who started slash fan fic have it, eh

FWIW, I believe my first cinematic lesbian experience was the 1980’s movie Windows, which was profoundly disturbing on many levels. It left me confused and upset and drove me to withdraw further into my shell. 😕10 Replies

i do not know that one. my first lesbian one was Desert Hearts and my first gay one was Zorro the Gay Blade and Boys don’t cry my first transmovie

Long story short, it portrayed the horrors of a straight woman in an apartment building who was the sexual target of an obsessed, deranged lesbian neighbor. Not a great message.  😟

oh. sounds like a direct to video. one of those make the heteros feel better ones.

It was released to theaters, but I saw it on one of the big cable movie channels. And weirdly, I’d swear that I also saw another version of exactly the same movie around the same time. Maybe just weeks or months apart. Same story, different actors. As if one demonizing wasn’t enough. 😕

that was the lesbian tropes. the serial killers if not vampires. the predatory butches who suicide to save the femme and return her to heteronormativity.

Joke about it. As a gay, gay sex is funny.

yes, LGBTQ2 get to joke about it. people who are heterosexual do not get to. and those are the jokes at issue. bullying is not a joke to the person who is the target of the punchline. it is about their sexual squeamishness and hypocrisy.

in fact, if sex does not including laughing during, you are doing it wrong.

Big Gay Al ☆☆☆

Bullying is a lot different than joking, imo.

nina tryggvason

yes. in group it is joking mostly and only sometimes bullying, whereas heterosexuals it is not a topic they are qualified to joke about as if they know. so that is always bullying.

bullies always claim they are joking.

Big Gay Al ☆☆☆

True, I guess its subjective

nina tryggvasona few seconds ago

I think I drew a clear line, which both sides of are capable to understand. so the real question is, since many lgbtq2 experienced heterosexual sex. do we get to make fun of that? and the butthurt they get, after their anal squeamish “jokes” about gay male sex, is that heterosexual sex is just as icky to us and why we are queer

Big Gay Al ☆☆☆

Please, make fun of sex. Its funny, and deserves to be made fun of.

well. when I started this group there was a few gay men doing dick pics in the chat area. so I said everyone had to post genitalia and everyone stopped posting. so apparently taboo is the best sex and permission kills it. which marriage sorta proves too

Queer on Film: Watermelon Woman

The 1996 Black lesbian film that became essential viewing for 2020The coronavirus pandemic has come with an odd paradox for the movie business.

I saw this film just before the pandemic at the Vancouver International Film Festival’s Black History Curated Selection. this one and Go Fish were probably the most important lesbian movies of that decade – not coming out taking too long to lesbian or one or both dead at the end nor returned to the safety of heteronormativity, nor murders or vampires.

from the article:

More than two decades after its release, her groundbreaking arthouse film, The Watermelon Woman, has been making something of a mainstream comeback. News outlets like Vanity Fair and Complex are writing think pieces on the film’s significance. The Criterion Channel included her semi-autobiographical 1996 film in its Black cinema spotlight, as well as in its June 2020 Pride month lineup. That’s because the movie depicted intersectional struggle before “intersectionality” was even considered a thing: the story follows a Black lesbian filmmaker named Cheryl who works at a video rental store and who is making a documentary about a Black lesbian actress from the 1930s.

If you are truly incapable of distinguishing between an act of love and an act of hatred, then you need to sit down for a very long, very careful re-evaluation of your life.

If on the other hand you’re intentionally not distinguishing between an act of love and an act of hatred, then you need to sit down for a very long, very careful re-evaluation of your soul.

given that the religious relationship between the deity and the follower could be on the domestic abuse relationship checklist… they really are unable to distinguish.

then I would call them regular conservatives, not “otherwise reasonable” nor “moderates”. in 2020 USA politics there is only the extreme, and both parties have been galloping right for some time

Socially extreme conservatives have punishing fiscal policy because of their hatred but do not disguise their motive, whereas so called moderates, fixate on the finances without admitting it is owing to their biases. The republican party only accepts LGBQ2 who are ethnicity bigots who think that will make them straight enough, and ethnicities who hate LGBTQ2 as if that will make them white enough.

Once again, if you’re religious and are operating a business in the secular domain, then you by default must deal with all customers. If your conscience cannot permit this, that is your right. But if so, then you must trust in your God to provide another life path for you, and leave your business.1 Reply

yes. cake is not art in the sense of legal purposes. this is why religion does not make a person good, only delusional. Children are told to not listen to their imaginary friends because look what happens when adults to. eh.

editted to:

yes. cake is not art in the sense of legal purposes of art, which is a creation to comment upon, rather than an item to be consumed to celebrate a live event. there is a line of art and line and this is the battleground issue as the “husband and wife” language to “spouse and spouse” to gender neutralize the oaths, and allow any couple to choose which words they want to represent their particular union depending on the pairing. this is why religion does not make a person good, only delusional about where one’s rights end and another’s begin. Children are told to not listen to their imaginary friends because look what happens when adults to. eh. children are taught to share and then that is how adults behave over things more important than things.

That said, it’s minimal inclusion. One couple out of four, and probably will be the most glossed-over segment. Give us a full-length and wonderfully romantic movie, Hallmark.1 Reply

a bad actually included is better than no inclusion at all… I guess

When NORC last asked the question in 2018, 34% gave that response.www.forbes.com

what about this compared to the hallmark?

from the article:

However, the series, which starts this week is more than just Desperate Housewives in hijabs. The smoking and swearing of the main characters has proved controversial, as has the tackling of issues such as child abuse and domestic violence, as well as same-sex relationships, which are illegal in Pakistan.

“Because we are showing such a diverse range of women, it was important to show the entire spectrum of sexuality. It would have been wrong if they were all straight because not all women in Pakistan are straight,” said Abbasi, who is based in Leeds.

There is also a transgender character. “The reason the women open the detective agency is to level the playing field for everyone who identifies as a woman, so a transgender character who identifies as a woman should be included.”

He added: “The fact that she’s transgender is not addressed on the show and that is deliberate. It’s not that I was overlooking her identity or ashamed of it. It was to show the women coming to the agency were all equal.”

Well, that does put things into perspective now, doesn’t it? 🤔

Maybe Pakistan has their own version of the Hallmark channel we can watch…?

That there is a stigma with LGBTQ2 is the heterosexual disability to cope with others existing.
