Welcome to Queer 2 Help, folks. I'm Faelan (they/them)--a nonbinary content creator and researcher. I've dedicated myself to starting and participating in conversations around the politics and history affecting the rainbow community.
Of course, part of the rainbow community is our labels.

In my experience, the loudest haters are terfs/general transphobes, terminally online younger folks ignorant of lgbtq history prior to 2010, and/or super insecure trans guys who think that anyone who uses he/him without being A Man™ is a direct threat to them. As a transmasc they/he butch lesbian, thank you for this supportive vid in a sea of terrible hot takes!
I'm bisexual. I'm a man who had many relationships with women in the past, then I quit women about 15 years ago. Went out on a couple lousy first dates with Trans people. And now I'm celebrating my 2nd anniversary with my boyfriend at the end of the month. I call myself bisexual because I don't have the same phobias about women as my gay boyfriend has. Mine is more of an apathy or an absolute equality where I don't strongly prefer one over the other.
Romans 1:18-32 🇩🇪 [18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; [19] because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. [20] For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: [21] because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23] and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. [24] Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves: [25] for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due. [28] And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; [29] being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, [30] backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31] without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: [32] who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.
never saw X-Men, so I was like, "what on earth are they talking about?" but anyway, Here's a Gender Label for ya: -Gendervoid (that's the one I'm sticking with for now)
I'm nonbinary, and I happen to be one of those not masculine, not feminine, not andro, Gendervoid. Yet I can still use whatever pronouns I want, if it feels right to me. If a lesbian wants to use he/they/ ze/thon/kit/ve/bun--ALL the pronouns that have ever been invented, that's totally fine. As far as I see it, pronouns and gender identity are two different things.
My experience feels like a mix between greyromantic and aegoromantic. I've experienced romantic attraction, but it's such a rare occurrence that it feels as though I have this switch in me turned near-permanently off - at least when it comes to real life. However I get very involved in fictional representations of romance and feel romantic emotions in the fictional space, just almost never in the real world. I don't identify with the lack of desire for a romantic relationship, I identify with the near-lack of ability to develop that romantic attraction in real life.
tbh idek what I am anymore, I might be asexual, I might be bi, or les, maybe I’m demiromantic? I don’t really want a relationship at all right now, or kissing or anything like that, I’m having trouble distinguishing between platonic and romantic attraction, and I’m not often attracted to peoples looks I guess. it’s really confusing rn tbh T-T also sorry for all the words •v•
I'm aegoromantic/fictoromantic which means I love romantic movies and real life love stories so much that I THINK I want it for myself until a real situation presents itself, then I have unbelievable anxiety. For years I blamed it on the person I was with rather than my own orientation.
I'm an omnisexual. I explain to people that omnisexual is like omnivores. Omnivores eat different kinds of meats. But they are specific about the kind of meat they consume just like Omnisexuals are specific about their partners identity and gender. I'm actually good at figuring out people's orientation coz I'm attracted to a lot types myself
Ik this is waaaaay late to the party, but I know I'm greyromantic ! In short, it feels like a game of roulette. I'll go a while without a crush, get them back to back rapidly and intensely, then have none, then randomly get a very very short lived crush, then go back to not having one. So I know I can feel romantic attraction, but it's tricky for me and feels more random and varies in length/intensity. In length, if you're interested, my experience as being greyromantic is as follows: I only started labeling myself with greyromantic maybe a year or so ago, considering I heard of it but never applied to to myself- bc I think I just kinda forgot about it?? Growing up, I had mixed experiences with romance, where I did pick a crush to pretend to have to make myself seem "normal" back in elementary school, but then althroughout middle school I had a total of three crushes (one for each year) and I even got in a relationship with my crush from 8th-9th grade. He and I broke up and are amazing platonic best friends now, but that was the first and last relationship I had (I'm still open to dating, but nothing has happened since then). I felt pretty much nothing for another two years (I forced myself into another crush freshman year to try and get over my ex since I was still pretty hung up over him at the time), but then I got into a "situationship" with another guy junior year. I was a junior in hs back in 2020, so our interactions were purely online, but he did go to my school. It felt like any other crush, and I even confessed to him and he liked me back, but we never made anything official. And it was great! But then like it always seems to, eventually my attraction faded out and we moved on. So, I don't think I've ever romantically fallen in love before. I know I can love platonically, but we're still waiting on that romantic love! It's a little frustrating at times (Since since image issues DEF don't help here), but it feels nice to single and not hung up over a crush sometimes :]
ui, sind das viele Versionen von Aromantik! i just never want to have a partnership or even a short liaison. i like those feeling in that moment, but i do not like tangency. and i dislike male ideas about intersexual contact
Yea I'm 36 and this makes way too much sense . I rarely if ever experience romantic attraction . If anything just sexual urges now n. Then . I dated but always felt forced too . Also sex is just sex to me
Searching for this topic brought me here. I am, I think, pan or biromantic but lean homosexual. Possibly Demi but feel less clarity on that front. I'm AMAB and identify as male. With a couple of exceptions, I've very, very rarely felt sexual attraction to women. I've felt romantic attraction to many people and I don't think gender plays a roll there for me. It's very confusing and that's why I appreciate your video. Thanks!
Personally my romantic identities are- complicated lol, I'm aroflux, typically going between romance repulsed on occasion to absolutely loving the idea of romanticism while still not feeling romantic attraction, normally I just describe this as going from just "100% aromantic" to about "70%" (not real metrics, just what I use to explain it) but i think it's best described by going from Apothiromantic to Greyromantic & pretty much always being Cupioromantic but I just found Apothiromantic cause of this video thank u :]
I personally identify as just Omni, (technically Omniromantic but itd be awkward adding all of my "niche" romantic identities onto Omni to make 1 label, example: some ppl do Demi-Omni etc.) But I chose to go by Omni cause 1 i like all genders but attraction is distinct between them, that and I kinda prefer having a less known identity- like, it'd be nice to have more recognition within the community for new ppl to find it easier not flopping from pan to bi for years (which was my journey until I found omni) but being less known also helps with not dealing with biases from outside the community ("pick a side" etc.)
I identify as omniromantic, because I’m also on the aroace spectrum it affects how I like people. I don’t usually have crushs but when I do it mostly comes down to personality. But at the same time I’m not aesthetically attracted to men, but I to non binary people to some level, and I am definitely aesthetically attracted to woman. So even though I do mostly care about personality I do have some preference’s. If someone is confused between pan and omni I hope this helps
Hi, I know this video is old but about Nebularomantic, does it still count as it if I as an autistic person has hard time to understand if the feeling with people in the past have been just platonic because I like them as a friend or person or if it's romantic feelings but can after awhile kind of understand? I am able, but it takes time
Nebularomantic is having a hard time differentiating platonic attraction from romantic attraction due to being neurodivergent, however a Nebularomantic person may not always be unable to distinguish the two or may start to slowly understand it over time. So yes, that label could apply to you!
Oli London is a right-wing grifter just like Jeffree Star and Milo Yiannopoulos. He says whatever will get him the most attention and money, which often happens to be right-wing talking points, because right-wingers have no ideology besides grooming (note how often they project with that word) already reactionary people's hatred using shock factor, and we can see that when right-wing media/news acts like any progressive action is the end of the world. He'll keep doing this until one day his right-wing buddies inevitably turn on him because they really only see him as a "degenerate" to be used to spread their world views before they kill right-wing LGBT people en masse after they came for the rest of us. And of course the Daily Mail/Fox News-reading general public that are constantly champing at the bit for any sense of control like TERFs and their right-wing supporters eat this shit up because it validates their world view. Sorry for the rant but I couldn't find anything but anti-trans sources talking about his "detransition" except this video.
It’s been a while, but I’ve already covered that in this video 😊 Are sex and gender the same? | Point of Order ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nOE5sX6OS0M.html
@@Queer2Help Sorry I like to educate myself as much as I can, and it kinda sounds like your saying just because a man/woman doesn’t do the stereotypical things that they r a different gender? For example a man could wear a dress,cook and do other “female” stereotypes and he could still be 100% male or a female could play sports,dress masculine,not wear makeup and still identify as female? I’m quite confused.
I'm on the Asexual Spectrum But Cupiosexual feels right what that means for me is i do experience sexual attraction but i don't want a sexual relationship at all and I prefer Platonic Relationships
I identify as greyromantic. I have felt deeply "in love" only 2 times, and I had some few of what I like to call "superficial crushes" (small crushes for random people from the daily life). I also choose this label because I have no interest in romantic love or romantic relationships.
I think you must have described Idemromantic well because it perfectly describes me. Thank you so much for making this video, you don't know how much it has helped in understanding myself.
Why would the standard of bisexuality be problematic? Isn't being solely attracted to standard male or female expressions just fall into one's comfort zone just an expression of their own valid boundaries? I'm just trying to understand all of this
There’s not an issue with that, but historically that’s not all that it meant. People can use it that way, but we must also acknowledge that not everyone who identifies as bisexual uses that definition.
I feel like the main reason it's useful is for security scans. Those scanner machine have male or female options, and many people who wear garments that don't match the sex on their passport can find it stressful if they get pulled aside for a random search, or asked to go through a machine, and then things that aren't expected show up. I'd like to see other ways to check for safety other than a big intimidating tube you stand in, but some places require it. I guess it depends on where you're going.
Do you mean for people who medically transitioned? Because I feel like this will be a problem for anyone that doesn’t nearly fall into the binary categories. Having passports like this may just draw more attention to it.
@@Queer2Help There were people in my area a few years ago with signs saying "The A is for asexual not ally" when a corporate float in a parade had ally written on it for the A. As an asexual, I know not all of us feel like we fit in the LGBTQIA community, but it would be nice to know we had support. Many people including those who make laws, don't even think of it as an option, same with aromantic.
Great video, definitely food for thought! I really resonated with the idea that ally is a verb. What I heard bell say is that if we're walking our own way and fighting our own fight, then the label is not as important as our actions. As long as our actions align, that's what matters in the effect on the world.
