mfw the one cishet guy at this pride brunch asks me if there is “a difference between the nonbinarys and the pansexuals”
me waking up hungover & realizing i have yet another pride brunch to get to in 30 minutes:

Ya'll should kick him out.

me to the one straight guy who no one remembers inviting to pride brunch:
Avatar
was he really just there on his own? 🤨
Avatar
he does not seem to know anyone and keeps asking sincere but extremely ignorant questions.
Avatar
So he is basically annoying but not evil, i guess
Avatar
yeah it’s super odd. he keeps asking different trans femmes about hrt so i think he is an 🥚 that saw queer people brunching outside & invited himself over lmao
Avatar
Could very well be - there is also a chance that he is the kind of dude that has a curious, non-scared brain Apart from inviting myself, i'd probs do the same without being an egg

i overheard him telling someone he identified as a “male lesbian”. might hit him with something like this in a bit:

Ahh - yeah, if he makes remarks like that the odds are more in the favor of you gut feeling
Avatar
everyone here has been chill & welcoming of him. i think we all picked up on the egg energy lmfao
Avatar
Well; - unless it interferes with your celebration, you know what to do :)

I'm kinda curious about hearing his views on lesbo utopianism.
Avatar
"you know you talk about being a girl all the time why don't you just go ahead and do it" it worked on me
Avatar
"I think I may be gender ambivalent because I'd be fine if I was born as a girl" *rants about not understanding "other" cis men for the next hour* "But yeah, I'm totally fine being a guy..."
Avatar
"I've never felt comfortable when it's dude time and oh yeah I did want to be a girl when I was younger but I'm totally just a bisexual cis guy who likes women and feels like the relationships he ends up in are lesbian relationships " oh yeah totally no signs at all
Avatar
Wow, this hits close to home. Are you...are you trying to tell me something?
Avatar
It's when "I wish I was a girl" becomes "What's stopping me from being one" that shatters the egg for good
Avatar
The only people I've ever heard refer to themselves as male lesbians were either sneering frat boy types or they're girls now. These may not be mutually exclusive sets.

I can only hear Eddie Izzard's voice when I read that phrase.
Avatar
Excuse me. Suzy Eddie Izzard. She uses both/either but for sake of being more complete and because I only just learned this.
Avatar
Haha welp I was the latter (solely)
Avatar
IDK about the latter. Cracked Eggs are naturally unpredictable. It may take years to claw out from under studiously protracted self-oppression & finally allow oneself permission to embark on the fearsome task of self-maturation usually reserved to the resilience of adolescence.

Por ejemplo: Boomer friend was sure she was straight. Cute attempts to conjure attraction to males even trying to identify her ‘new’ type. Then on 5/18/80 walked into a room where an average Butch smiled at her. Many have said it was at that exact moment Mt. St. Helens had its climactic eruption.

There was a good friend I had back in college I would joke with about being "lesbians in men's bodies". I wonder what he's up to these days...
Avatar
ohh yeah, i remember my “i’m just a lesbian in a man’s body” and “wanting to be the #1 twitch egirl” eras. it took me a lot of hints before i figured this out
Avatar
Tangential but you cannot keep getting away with calling this a brunch still
Avatar
it started at 11! there are rainbow waffles & mimosas! it’s pride brunch!!
Avatar
Pride brunch lasts all day for the perpetually late queers!!!
Avatar
oh yeah this was my cope ‘i’m a boy and i like girls i just think lesbians are better than straight men in every way and i wish i was one all the time but im just a man so it doesn’t matter’
Avatar
me when i was younger: damn i really think i'd be fine if i was born as a dude.... totally fine with being a girl. but.... oh you poor poor sweet summer child /pats younger self on the head
Avatar
also followed by "gee i wonder what its like to NOT have boobs." as well as... "hmm kinda wish i had a dick sometimes..." (i do not want a dick, but if i could snap my fingers and just give my boobs to the nearest trans woman in need, i'd do it in a heartbeat lol)
Avatar
and so it begins! (or at least that's a large part of it for me lol)

You're going to break this guy's brains. And free this girl's mind.

if there’s a girl under there then the guy likely never actually existed to begin with.

did this help some things click? ☺️

My spouse frequently referred to me as being so gay for liking a girl for many years before I figured out the whole gender identity thing out. I just thought that they were joking, took me a while to figure out how right they were 😂
Avatar
I had those thoughts for so long before I cracked

The concept in this first comic panel will forever remind me of @impossiblephd.bsky.social, because she was the first person I heard/read express it.

That's what got me! Almost two years ago today

Literally how Eddie Izzard describes herself in one of her comedy specials from 10-20 years ago.
Avatar
Aka Suzy. Eddie isn't a dead name, since she still uses it, and is better known that way, but I think she might prefer it.

I like the idea that having an 18 charisma and rolling a 20 on persuasion looks something like this
Avatar
I mean it might, though in this case, from the sound of it the dc on the roll was like 3
