The problem with the sexual axis is that it isn't a line. Other than that, it's a perfect model.
Nice addition of Matt Cohen to 90210. Discombobulating.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Yeah that is extremely bad form
Also, illegal.
She and her boyfriend claim people do it all the time
People also run stoplights, cheat on their taxes and steal from their employers all the time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh. But I think of my FTM cousin as straight, because he married a woman. It just seemed respectful. He's just not cis. Does that mean he's queer? QUILTBAG, maybe, but not queer.
I would call him straight.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well, nonlinear lines, sure. Those make sense to me.

Yes.
Is there sports going on? I hear whooping. I don't like it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just read where someone was adamantly stating that heteroromantic people were NOT STRAIGHT.
I would just like to say that I cannot read "heteroromantic" without hearing it said by Shaggy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Cats are easily startled, Connie.
I think I would call a FTM who preferred women straight. But I would think that him adopting "queer" as a term would also jibe with my thoughts on queer. (Which are good!)
But an asexual heteromantic would not jibe with what I think of a "queer."
I don't care what people do or don't do with their parts and/or hearts. Using labels in discussions is very confusing.
Someone's always going to be wrong.
ION, I just discovered the crack that is Words with Friends, and it's so irritating that "Saxon" isn't acceptable, but "french" is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have been told that as an aromantic I am queer, but it's okay, I'm good. Maybe I need to unpack my privilege, but it really doesn't seem to be anything worth worrying about with all the slices and flavours out there.
Now I remember why I overpay for getting my brows waxed. Treatment is consistent and polite. I don't have to argue with them about the sensitivity of my skin (seriously, lip balm gives me a rash, take my word for the state of the skin--you have no magic that can fix it). And you don't rest your hand on my mouth while you're plucking, or put undue pressure on my eyeballs.
And that dollar I dropped? That was my dollar, not part of your 30% tip. Dream on.
Okay, off to see if I can do that sleep thing. RInger looks passably interesting so far.

Also, she defined straight as requiring being cisgender. Oh. But I think of my FTM cousin as straight, because he married a woman. It just seemed respectful. He's just not cis. Does that mean he's queer? QUILTBAG, maybe, but not queer.
Well, yes. But that's also where the "queer as umbrella term" comes in.
That said, I kind of am irritated when everyone and their brother tries to claim they're "queer" even if they only like/date cis-gendered people of the opposite sex. I don't think kinky is queer (It is often queer-friendly, but not even necessarily that). Then again, there are some straight people that I totally would support calling themselves queer, so...it's complicated. :)
