Why I Don’t Participate in PRIDE

Why I Don’t Participate in PRIDE

I received a message from a friend asking if I planned to march in the PRIDE parade on Sunday. I answered “No” and she ask me “Why not?”

Let me explain to everyone.

This is a LGBTQ Pride demonstration. I suspect hundreds, maybe thousands will be joining, marching to show their PRIDE in being LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSEXUAL or QUEER and is fine with me. Really, taking pride in your sexual identity shows how open have become as a Society. Being able to show the world you’re Proud to be openly something other than “straight” is wonderful.

My situation is somewhat different.

I don’t consider myself LESBIAN because I not seeking a relationship with another woman.

I don’t consider myself GAY as term normally applies to a man seeking another man.

I don’t consider myself BISEXUAL since I’m not seeking sexual relations with both men and woman.

As I mentioned in an early post, I don’t think of myself as still in the TRANS phase of my life. I feel I have completed my journey, or TRANS anything, and am now in my new life and identity.

QUEER is just a catch-all term for anyone may not easily fit the other categories. In fact, the word QUEER in just a plain hurtful word originally described someone who was Stupid, Shady, Mentally Unbalanced or just Odd.

So, as you can see, I don’t consider myself a part of any of the subcultures. If I was to describe myself it would be Heterosexual.

I am a woman who is attached to men. I’m theoretically STRAIGHT.

You may wonder how is possible? I still have a Penis and Testicles in an otherwise feminine body.

To I say, I don’t use it for Sexual Intercourse so I’m not exhibiting a masculine characteristic. I don’t even masturbate with it. And, to use a description I often see, it’s non-functional!

So my Genitalia is external. So what? I have never had Sexual Intercourse with a man who cared. I still provided pleasure and he orgasmed.

I lead my life as a woman in every way. I’m just not LGBTQ anymore.

Agreed, you;re a straight hetrosexual woman in your and most others I'd assume. Many there are straight and marching for simple understanding and acceptance.

I have some issue with what you said but then who am I to judge. Live the life you want to live and not the one others want you to live. If that means not participating then that is solely your decision and I would totally respect it even without an explanation. I also have the same thought about the word "queer'. Isn't that another word for gay? Not sure why we need to expand the acronym when it covers that term in a general sense. Take care and be safe. Ciao.

PS. I also labeled myself as straight due to my preference for men but then that in itself caused so much confusion among the uneducated so I just say I am trans when it comes to gender identity and leave out the sexual identity unless asked.

Like you I am not gay, in that I don't seek sex or relationship with men. I am certainly not a Lesbian or consider myself bisexual I am a man who seeks sex and a relationship with woman or transsexual woman.

The Pride parade is not just for people who are LGBTQ but those that support them and the principals of having the right to the sexual identity that they are.

You describe no longer being Trans in that you have reached the fulfilment of your transition and are the beautiful woman you are. I can agree and understand your behief. But if you wanted to get married you would legally have to be married as a genetic male to another genetic male.

I used to march when , I was a member and later Officer of The NY Metro Chapter of The National Leather Association. The NYC-NLA was at the time the Straight and LBGTQ BDSM organization in NYC. I marched in support of our LBGTQ members and in support of the principals of all LBGTQ rights.

I would be marching but I am no longer physically able to do so.

Bravo for you. I agree, there's no need to join a cause to live your life as it was meant to be.

Sounds like you are your own person and know what you want in life , Some people don't have a clue and will follow along with a group just because others are doing it .
Enjoy you and your sexual life as you see it because you know what makes you happy in your life , others don't have to live your life
