Where are all my transhet sisters?

I love the queer community and I feel like the more I work on myself, the less accepted I will be as a queer person.

For example, I joined a queer friend-finding app recently which didn't have an option to label myself heterosexual. At first I went stealth and didn't list my sexuality, and I got lesbians calling me a tease. I made a public post about being transhet and I mostly got messages from weird cis men.

I'm going to look for friends only under the trans umbrella for now, online and irl.

To that end: I like pop music, knitting, and politics. Please tell me your favorite online communities and people to follow!

I'm so sorry about your experiences in straight spaces. It's so easy to be respectful of someone's identity and does so much harm to not be... I'm angry for you!

I agree about how cisheteronormativity needs to be deconstructed and I probably wouldn't be friends with anyone that says that straight culture doesn't have problems. In the end, I think it's up to each het individual to parse which parts of the culture are problematic. It's not like I can change my sexuality anyways, and I've definitely tried lol.

I'm finishing up a pair of socks at the moment! I've got a few things on cables or lifelines though, like a pink pig which would be my first stuffed animal!
