What rep we got so far in the books? 
 

from my count we got

-gay men

-trans men

-nonbinary (ish, as I don’t think there is actual nonbinary humans)

-bisexuality (ish)

-trans women (not really tho, just big allegory)

-asexual (I don’t think aro tho)

-lesbian 

 

Shallan was confirmed bisexual, and I will fight to my last breath explaining why Yumi is bi.

Who is the trans allegory you were referring to though?

Also WaT minor spoilers

Spoiler

We got a human ardent heavily implied to be non-binary.

Okay.

I came here to talk about my amazing hoco proposal that I did because it was kinda recent and this is the thread for gayness.

My parents areeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....... less than supportive.

So i couldnt ask them to order the thing I was getting for my Gf, SO, I turned too my Bi best friend, who ordered it for me happily. I payed her back in full, and did my Hoco proposal with a sign that said,

Id be a silly goose not to take you to hoco,

And a giant, 6 foot long Goose stuffed animal from amazon.

It made me so happy, and hoco was awesome.  

I..... also feel like I should talk about something else.

I am female I think, but am sometimes not sure. I have an older sibling who is gender-fluid, they go by El, Ella or Elliot, depending on the day. I also have a cousin who is a trans man.

I think I might be non-binary, or gender-fluid, but I dont completely fit into either of those categories, and I feel like if I come out as one of those, my family, or at least older sibling, will feel like I copied them. (they can get very..... defensive.)

So I am not sure what I should do. I feel like a girl most of the time, but I also have days, somewhat often, where I just want to be a dude. be friends with them. to have..... yeah. so I am not positive.

ALSO, if i did come out as trans, that would make me a str8, white man. like, WHO AM I?? 

That does sound broadly genderfluid, but there are dozens of more specific labels you can look at if you want.

I think it's the Dustbringer king from the Reshi Isles. His bond let him physically transition (because Radiant healing involves the body changing to match one's cognitive/spiritual aspect or something like that, I don't remember the details), but he was seen before that in one of Rysn's interludes.

But he's a trans man (and unambiguously so). I was asking about the trans woman allegory.

Missed the specifics of your question, sorry! Only glossed over Koloss' original post. I don't know, actually. Looking it up, it could be Masaka (sleepless from Y&tNP). They brought it up in another thread on the Shard.

How are all the gay disasters doing?

I am personally kinda feeling wishy-washy on both sexuality and gender. Probably somewhere on the aroace spectrum but don't know where. On some online places (like here) my pronouns are any because I don't really like or identify with all of the things related to whatever gender. It's not really a huge deal whatever I settle on to describe myself because I have an accepting family and live in a progressive region, but it still nags at me.

[Koloss17 She/They]

Yeah the transfem allegory is Masaka from Yumi.

Guess who just had her legal name/gender change go through! :3

hi hi! i’m new here but i figured the best place for a transfem disaster lesbian to show her face would be over here. 

recently i realized that my chosen name is unintentionally and in a very hidden manner a stormlight reference and i find it hilarious. so like. my name is nora. which doesn’t mean anything by itself cuz it originated as a nickname for two separate names: the irish/anglo-norman honora (from latin honorius or in english  honor) and from variants of eleonora/eleanora/eleanor which may have originated from arabic noor or in english light.

so my name means honor and light. as in. honor’s light. stormlight. i’m literally stormlight. anyway i just found that fun

Smol question. What’s the perimeters for being a pan orientated aroace?

As a not pan person, this is entirely speculation, but probably something like

"I like people"

"...like, what gender though?"

"Yeah"

Spoiler

Idk if that made any sense, and tbh I'm too sleep deprived to make much sense in general

So pan likes not based on looks but on other stuff. Like personality and whatnot, and aroace dont feel sexual/romantic attraction. To combine the two its like, they dont feel romantic/sexual attraction but they get attractions like, platonic, sensual and all those. I think. That’s what i understand from it.
