same here man. about the lgbtq+ stuff. I just want to do whatever, but IRL everyone has to put you into a box based 100% on your physical appearance. I hate it. I don't give a shit about feminine or masculinity or who anyone wants to fuck or not fuck.
I especially hate it when I date. everyone assumes I'm this macho conservative guy... and gets pissed off at me when I don't live up to the stereotype and find out I'm socialist and don't give a shit about traditional gender roles. and the people who want to hang out with me are always conservative and traditional leaning, an the left/liberal types shun me because I don't have tattoos.
Where are you that you get shunned for not having tattoos?
I'm also curious how you dress because that can send signals to others about our likely political leanings even when we think we're just dressing generically, and that will also be affected by where you live.
i look like a football player. that's why. big strong dudes w/o tatoos aren't liberal. that's for scrawy tatooted guys with piercings.
Ah. Doesn't fit my area. I've seen plenty of guys who look like football players walking around in kilts over the years, and plenty who clearly signaled that they weren't conservative in other ways, such as hairstyle.
