Hello X world. My name is Ryan. I've been on X/Twitter for a long time, but I've gone through multiple accounts for a variety of reasons. In this case, it's a way to kind of reinvent myself and be more transparent about who I am.

With past accounts, it felt like I couldn't be fully honest without it possibly coming back to bite me because of who I am both online and in person. (1/9)

@ManySuchCases They also think it means forget, you can forgive but never forget what the other side did to you.

Very well written post, and it speaks on things that need to be said. It doesn't have to start at a beach or a resort, it can start at home. Even something as simple as sleeping nude or hanging around after taking a shower, it's the little things that build confidence and acceptance of ourselves.

@brooksofthemany Happy Halloween 👻

@thatpatriot0704 Pretty much, I took the longer test which is 240 questions and got this result and I completely agree with it. I knew I never really felt at home on the right, it's just many of their positions line up with what I believe.

@jadecristal This is just a rudimentary version of it to get the general feel. And the actual public version is going to be way more alt too.

@codyrolson Thanks 🫰🏻

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

@HeidiBriones Especially all the pro gay accounts from Africa, the majority of them are only doing it for the money.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

@SilverMASAKI Sounds wonderful, hope you enjoy your vacation.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

@RisslerShawn 100%, I've even seen videos of some super fem guys fight on here. They can be strong when they want to. Not just physically, but also mentally.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

After just over a year and a half since publicly coming out, I am comfortable with myself.

I’m comfortable with really liking guys, with my body image, and with not being afraid to lean into my femininity and express it in different ways. I’m comfortable with being a guy who mostly wants a househusband or boy wife role.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of that. Many so called free thinkers or right wing gays will say it is wrong and that we shouldn't explore our softer sides, insisting we must be masculine all the time.

But all of that is just for show. If you constantly have to remind yourself not to act, live, or be a certain way, then you are the one who needs to take a moment and realize that trying to act tough all the time isn't real. It's a performance.

You shouldn't shame others who decide they don't want to put on a show of what a gay guy "should" be, because there isn't a right or wrong way. You have the super fems, the super mascs, and everyone in between.

You can lean more masc and be attracted to someone who leans more fem, or vice versa. You can be masc for masc, fem for fem, and anything in between. But we have to remember not to be overly nitpicky. We are a minority, and if you are trying to find the "perfect man," that's not going to happen because we are all human.

I get that if you are more masc, you might want a guy of the same caliber, and there is nothing wrong with that. Just don't shut your heart out to others who don't meet 100% of your criteria.

We all have preferences, and that is fine, but it is wrong to shame others for how they live. Realistically, I am a mix of both masc and fem. Because I have been suppressed all my life, I am probably more willing to explore my feminine side compared to others. I'm not afraid to give things a try, see what I like, and figure out who I am.

Ultimately, my ideal partner is someone in a similar boat, someone who falls somewhere in between or leans just a little masc. But I'm not totally shutting the door on other guys, other than the extremes.
​
I want to be with someone who isn't quick to judge and is willing to let me explore, or for us to do so together. Just remember we are all human. We aren't robots that can be 100% a certain way all the time.

As I found out, many gay guys are more in tune with their emotions and willing to express themselves compared to straight guys who try to keep the real them inside all the time. Don't be afraid to explore, it's good to be curious.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

@RisslerShawn Yep, we are human and each of us is different. I'm someone that is softer and kindhearted naturally, so leaning into the softer side is like second nature to me.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

@The_Caleb_Con I lean right, and would date a more classical liberal but not a modern day Democrat.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

@BlueBuffalo97 I really appreciate the support, but I do want to be upfront that I'm not receptive to the flirty advances. You seem like a great guy, but you deserve someone who is closer to you in age and maturity.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

After thinking and battling this feeling, I feel free in a way. I no longer need to keep searching for answers as to why things are the way they are. I now know, and I can move on with my life, even if I can't be all of me just yet.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

For a long time, I couldn't really put my finger on the exact friction I was feeling at home. I live with my parents while I build my finances to eventually move out. They are my rock, and I love and appreciate them deeply. But recently, a heavy realization finally settled in, my parents, the only family I have nearby don’t truly accept me. They only accept the label I hold.

I came out as gay in 2026 after keeping my sexuality buried privately for what felt like forever. Looking back, I understand why they weren't entirely shocked when I told them. For years, whenever relatives or family friends asked why I didn't have a girlfriend yet, I’d take a big gulp and give the typical closeted answers, saying I was focusing on figuring out life first, or that I needed a good job before dating. People took that at face value, including my parents. Over time, whenever grandkids were brought up, my parents’ responses shifted from "we’ve got to find him a girlfriend first" to saying "yeah, grandkids probably aren't happening." They operated entirely on assumptions. Aside from one time when I was six years old and mentioned liking a pretty girl at church, my parents never once asked me about girls or my dating life growing up.

When I did come out as gay, I was asked one specific question, Does this change anything about you? At the time, still kind of terrified I gave my honest truth, No. I'm still the same me.

I realize now that was the exact answer they were hoping for. It acted as a signed contract that allowed them to keep me in a comfortable mental box. As long as I self-minimized, as long as I never did or said anything out of the ordinary, and as long as I maintained the traditional flow of our family, everything was fine. It’s a box that technically allows me to live under their roof, but if I go too far or express who I really am, the dynamic instantly shifts. Things get cold, and we essentially turn into family roommates. They can accept the abstract idea of gay people, but they don't know how to accept a gay or bisexual son (my brother).

They accepted the label of having a gay son, but they never wanted the details or to truly believe it. They have zero curiosity about what I want in life or how I want to live. It hurts to realize that the people who should be your loudest supporters just have you on in the background. It hurts that my mother pushes her religion, seeing me as a son losing his way, when the reality is that I am finally finding my way in life. I still walk with God, but her truth and mine are fundamentally different.

Because our relationship is entirely surface-level and transactional, I am the one who always has to be curious about them. I always step into their world, but they are never curious about mine.

[Hunter @HunterNaturally]

@alexthegreat997 For me, the name change isn't about running away from who I am. It’s about leaving behind someone I never actually was. Even outside of family dynamics, I spent most of my life living a performance that wasn't mine, and stepping into Hunter is about finally owning my own life.
