Informal Site Survey: Pride Edition! Are you a cisgender heterosexual? Yes, no, or unsure?
Hey, we still haven't been able to find a secure way to poll everyone yet. I've really been wanting to ask (in the negative, to be more inclusive) what proportion of Hexbear is queer. This isn't going to be super scientific or anything as a result, but just a quick guess.
Please respond to this post with the following emojis :
For yes, you ARE a cisgender heterosexual (cishet):
For no, you are NOT a cisgender heterosexual (cishet):
For unsure, as in you are UNSURE or QUESTIONING if you are queer, transgender, a cisgender heterosexual (cishet), etc:
If you have anything to add, please use a spoiler tag below your answer like so:

hi!

Remember to respond even if you are cisgender, queer, or otherwise. Everyone should try to respond, if you feel comfortable!

Hexbear has more lgbt people than the liberal lgbt instances and it's not even trying.
The one neat trick: Visible pronouns that aren't buried in a performative section of the profile page where people can ignore that they exist.

For all practical purposes? Yes. I'm a cisgender man who is in a relationship with the mother of my children and I want to keep it that way.
If I for some hypothetical reason were to find a new partner I feel like I could be with any gender, they're all hot in each their own way so I guess I'm bisexual at heart although I feel like applying that label to myself is done form of stolen valor.
As for gender I feel fine about presenting as a guy although it could be fun experimenting from time to time.

I am afab and present as cis and het. I was in love with a girl in high school but haven’t really been attracted to another woman since though I’ve had like romantic-adjacent feelings. I think I might be somewhere in the nb space but I don’t have dysphoria or anything I just don’t particularly feel engaged with the idea of femininity or gender at all
:::
I've said it before, I'm bi and very much not attached to my manhood. But for any poll's sake, it's not fitting to ignore that I live in and experience the world as a cishet.

In a very long term cishet relationship (probably longer than many hexbears have been alive), so I don't really consider myself , but that would likely change if my relationship status did. Note: this is just something I apply to myself, not others, so I still think you're valid in your identity if this same thing applies to you but you think differently.

Forgive this rambling explanation, I haven't deeply explored my feelings on this.
I always feel a little weird giving my honest response to this question because I feel like I'm taking something away from trans people.
I don't identify with my birth assigned gender, but I do generally conform to it in dress and appearance and don't care to change that. I don't feel like I'm any gender at all(is that agender?). I don't ever feel gender dysphoria and don't really think about my gender identity often. I do sometimes feel pressure to conform to my birth gender in behavior, and that really bothers me because that's the aspect of gender I don't identify with. When I was younger I always felt like I was performing my assigned gender, and as an older person I'm glad I'm mostly free of that.
I think that makes me trans, but I'm not sure.

I'm attracted to the "opposite" gender (femmes) and enbys. Never had any coherent thoughts of physical or romantic intimacy with more masc people.
