Straight-acting or femme?

[ritsuka]

Straight guys act a whole range of different ways, not just the stereotypical macheesemo archetype that is imposed by many, but not all cultures. It is sick and sad, actually, that some straight guys make more of an effort to move past that stereotypical bullshit than some in the gay community. There is no such thing as "masculinity" or "femininity" these are just disgusting prejudices used to discriminate against people, they have nothing to do with biology or nature, but are arbitrary cultural products. Personally, I prefer people who are not trying to act "tough" and macho/violent, like "one of the guys."

Personally, I don't act either, and I'm not interested in stupid binaries like male/female; there are many more options out there which we can hopefully find more original and less offensive words for. I prefer to be around people who don't judge me for not living up to what they think I should be like on account of being born with a penis. People have always been able to tell I'm gay, before I was even out to myself, so I guess I don't act "straight," thankfully.

It really annoys me that these two are presented as the only options with nothing in between. I don't consider myself effeminate, but if "straight acting" means acting like a retarded caveman with a vocabulary consisting of 150 words, like it usually does, then I'm not that either.

I like the straight-acting stud

I come across as very straight. Fooled myself into believing I was for a long time. I do find myself having a soft spot for more fem guys, but only if they are cute lithe twinkish types. Asians and Latins are my favorites.
