I definitely never want kids, and I've known that for a while. It is in part due to my orientations - my transness rears it's head every now and then, and I'm unlikely to end up in a partnership where we both feel like we want to raise spawn - but I've been determinedly childfree long before I started questioning my orientations. I'm also tokophobic, as I found out after a wonderful nightmare a couple of years ago - the thought of giving birth makes me start to sweat, nauseous, and cry 0u0

I would occasionally feel guilty or conflicted over it, but a little while back I saw a good summary of my feelings on it that was approximately: "there are only two answers to the question 'do you want children?' and that is 'FUCK YES' or 'not at all', because a child is a person not an object, and you're making the choice to bring that person into the world." I feel like my general distaste of child rearing SHOULD disqualify me from parenthood, and it isn't something that should be actively pursued unless you're one hundred percent, so unless I somehow reach a point where I am one hundred percent certain about it, I shouldn't feel conflicted over it! That said, I think most people here who are 'unsure' aren't actively pursuing parenthood so it doesn't really apply here 0u0

I drink and will get drunk semi regularly, and have been since well before I was legally allowed 0u0 (Thanks, Australian drinking culture) My friends and I tend to view it as a way to wind down and relax, and I find I'm more open socially it is the social lubricant when I'm drinking because it does lower barriers. I do need to moderate how much I drink (and if I do drink at all on occasion) when my medication changes though, because I end up on mood stabilisers/antipsychotics.

I will one hundred percent kiss my friends if they're okay with it, leads to some confusion with other people but I don't mind that.

To be honest the line between romantic and sexual for me is usually the context of what's happening. And a hell of a lot of trust in the other person and knowing what you're both pursuing.

I thought I was a lesbian at age sixteen! Then I figured out I was neither a woman, or romantically inclined. I used to project crushes onto people and really build them up in my mind to "sell" them to myself
