I want to test something part 2 (take 2).
Remade as the first poll was set to a day instead of a week. If you identify with multiple, pick the one you have the strongest identification with.

Main learnings from first my class on sexuality. The following learnings are from the work of Jeffrey Weeks's Sexuality (1986)
People are often scared to talk about sexuality not because it’s dangerous or pervasive, but because it is associated with very strong feelings - whether it’s pleasure or shame. 
Studying sexuality is not about figuring out what is “correct” behavior, but coming to terms with diversity and choice. 
Before, a long time ago, sexuality and sex were only studied in the context of marriage and mortality. But now it’s studied in many contexts including health and violence. 
Sexuality is considered biological. But it is, in fact, a creation of various social and historical forces. 
Any sex, historically (and perhaps even now) that leads to reproduction is considered normal, while everything else was considered pervasive. 
Some aspects of intimacy have nothing to do with sex and some sex is not intimate. (loved this)
Sodomy was considered bad, but being the passive sexual partner (bottom) was considered even worse. 
Female sexuality is limited by economic and social dependence, but also by the power of men to define sexuality and what it means. 
Behavior does not always equal identity. This is highly prevalent in the history of sexuality (including Greek history), where men behaved sexually with each other, but it wasn't considered homosexuality. Because behavior does not always equal identity. Behaviors, including homosexual ones, existed way before identities did. (this was a mindfuck for me. need to learn more about it)
Our cultures (and laws) regulate sexuality by WHO factors (who you can have sex with - race, age, caste, gender) and HOW factors (how you can have sex with them - what positions, how many times, when is it acceptable)

Imagine being so old-school you don’t even know your own sexuality. You’re just like “Lover? Never had one. Sex? I’d rather die.”

people need to realize that dissolving the lines between gender also means dissolving the lines between sexuality. you cannot say gender is fake and then say sexuality is strict and rigid.
there are multigender/genderfluid people who are lesbians and gay men at the same time. there are mspec lesbians/gays/straights who have a complex relationship with gender and their sexuality. there are gay men who are women and lesbians who are men because male isn't the opposite of female.
"conflicting" labels are a part of many people's queer experience, because the human experience isnt simple enough to be put into neat perfect categories. if you truly support trans/genderqueer people, you need to accept the fact that gender and sexuality is complex and there will be people whose identities you don't understand

Four hands are shown, each holding the wrist of another to create a square. The hands are labelled ‘trans people’, ‘fat people’, ‘disabled people’, and ‘POC’ (counter-clockwise from upper left.). The text in the space bwteen the hands reads ‘Any attraction felt towards us or by us is labelled as a fetish by people outside our communities who claim to be allies but in actuality just see us as somehow lesser and therefor undeserving of our own bodily and sexual autonomy’.

It is not a coincidence that asexuality is becoming more popular as mainstream depiction of human sexuality is becoming more violent. Perfectly normal, healthy young people, are looking at this filthy and feeling understandable disgusted by it. But because sex is depicted by porn and online discourse as violent and "kinky", the disgust for this type of sex becomes disgust of sex in general.
You are not asexual, you are a sane person in an insane world.

In June, I was watching a YouTube video about asexuality when someone mentioned that asexual people aren't subjected to conversion therapy. This didn't sit right with me at all. A quick fact-check Google search quickly sent me down a rabbit hole about how a lack of sexual attraction is often treated as a medical problem to be fixed.
Many interviews and 6 months later, I covered science and medicine's changing attitudes toward asexuality it in a feature article in Scientific American's January 2024 issue! I'm so grateful to everyone who lent their expertise to the article 💜
"... Over the past two decades psychological studies have shown that asexuality should be classified not as a disorder but as a stable sexual orientation akin to homosexuality or heterosexuality. Both cultural awareness and clinical medicine have been slow to catch on. It's only recently that academic researchers have begun to look at asexuality not as an indicator of health problems but as a legitimate, underexplored way of being human."

Are LGBTQ labels confusing? Do you ever see a collection of words and think "aren't some of those antithetical or mutually exclusive?" Congratulations! You've run into a very interesting phenomenon that I'm about to break down to the best of my ability.
There's two major philosophies when it comes to labels, they don't have names to my knowledge so I'm gonna call them Reflective and Telegraph.
The Telegraph Label philosophy states that labels primarily function as a means of conveying useful information about one's self to others. It's telling others what pronouns, what parts and what genders that person has or is attracted to. This is usually pretty straightforward, the stuff someone interested in dating you would check before asking you out to avoid embarrassment.
The Reflective Label philosophy states that labels are primarily a tool for describing an internal experience. Putting words to feelings for the benefit of the self. This is how we get lables like stargender or autismgender. These aren't meaningfully useful labels that tell others what to expect physically or what pronouns to use. But that doesn’t mean they're useless. In the case of someone using autismgender, that label probably describes the internal experience of the ways a person's autism impacts their views on and performance of gender. Stargender likely explains not that they literally see themselves as a star but rather that their internal experience of their prefered gender performance makes them feel a way that reminds them of stars or stargazing.
And this applies to sexuality too. Boy lesbian might seem antithetical but ultimately that label isn't there to tell others anything. It's merely a comfort to have words to describe a mess of feelings and social dynamics.
And for clarification, anyone calling themselves a boy-lesbian probably isn't the cis male boogieman forcing lesbians who aren't interested in cis men to date them or else be labeled a bigot. That boogieman doesn't exist. A more likely explanation is that a nonbinary or trans person has a complex relationship with their changing gender that doesn't trigger a change in the way they see themselves in relationships and attraction thus causing them to keep or adopt the lesbian label despite the gender weirdness going on.
I see a lot of infighting about what people call themselves and whether or not certain combinations can even physically exist. And Y'know what? I don't think that's terribly productive. Neither philosophy is wrong. People are just using labels to address different root problems.
As aggravating as it might be for Telegraphers, you don't have to understand everything. Not everyone feels that they owe you the list of information you find useful, and their labels reflect that. And that's okay.
