I'm transgender, aromantic, and pansexual!! I'm out at work and at university just not to my parents. New Years Resolution, though!!

Hahahhahah oh man we're talking about something else. Sorry!! I was earlier in the thread and I thought we were all talkin about our different orientations. My baaad, my bad, continue the important discussion about Leelah Alcorn. Poor dear.

Good luck with coming out bro!
 
I'm sorry for interrupting any discussion but I just wanted to make a small announcement that if anyone ever needs support, advice, or a venting outlet and does not feel comfortable or safe speaking publicly on the forum about their experiences or troubles, my inbox is always open and I am always willing to help however I can! I am panromantic and pansexual and formerly identified as miscellaneous terms under the nonbinary umbrella for three years, as well as aromantic and asexual for a shorter time. ^^
 
As far as the archive being down:

This one is still up, though the manager of it has been reblogging stuff relating to Leelah, so you may have to do some digging to find her posts. From what I understand, there's a tab that takes you to her note, though (I can't see it since I'm on mobile).
 
Idk I get a lot of hate from the LGBTQA community online because I don't ever want to come out in my personal life. Like, excuse, where's the support

There's nothing wrong with not wanting to come out, that's your personal decision. If people don't respect it then they aren't worth your time.

Oh jeez this thread blew up while I was busy working and hanging out with friends. One of which I have a super duper crush on. Too bad he really likes me only as a friend and he has a pregnant girlfriend. #Gay/trans problems.

Wishing you the best on your transition :)

Oh on stuff like national coming out day? Yeah those people are annoying, because they don't understand that not everyone is in a safe position to come out. Staying in the closet is absolutely fine.

Its fine to not want to come out, I've "come out" to close friends and everyone I met mew I make sure they know I'm a lesbian, my mother knows but the rest of my family doesn't and its not because I'm in a bad position to come out its just I don't find it necessary.
My sexual preference is that, mine. So I don't need it to feel more free, because I still feel free even if not everyone knows and if they find out, well, hurray? XD I get what you go through in other places

Yeah, its frustrating when people say its selfish not to come out. I've gotten that loads of times.

I don't get how that is even slightly selfish. The only way that it can make any sense is if someone argues that so many people have died and protested and worked immensely hard to make progress on our freedoms/lgbt rights in general and to choose to stay quiet about it implies shame/renders their work worthless or something stupid like that.

>Since when do people announce their sexuality anyway, especially if they're straight? It doesn't and shouldn't need to happen
>How can people even assume the circumstances other people are in? Some families would immediately throw out their child onto the streets for being gay, it's ridiculous. It's punishable in law in quite a few countries too.

It's your choice when you come out to people, and no one elses. On the topic of national coming out day or whatever please can people not out others without their permission that is horrible ff
 
I just read Lellahs suicide note..I really don't like her parents..I cryed when I read it..that poor girl..

I don't understand people's mindset when they are like "omg, stop being so selfish!"

It's your choice to come out, it doesn't matter what day it is. As Princess Weeb said, families can be extremely harsh or accepting.
 
True what Saint Jimmy is saying. I'm none of the letters, but my dad shunned me for wearing masculine clothing. He was harsh, while my mom was accepting.

Awh :c

There was this guy at my school who was transitioning from female to male, and he actually got bullied so bad at school, he had to change school and his parents were so unaccepting, he's now in foster care :c
 
Damn, after reading everything in this thread, I'm really happy that I live and go to school where I do. I really hope things get better for you and the people you know.
 
Ok. So I think I might be bi..I kinda felt this way in 7th grade I told my mother..she was like "oh don't act on those feelings "your not gay" but I mean I like girls?? Like I would date then (I have)? and marry em. But I just don't even know.

Me too. I go to an art school and everyone is soooo accepting. I don't think a homophobe/transphobe/etc-phobe could survive here for very long, ha.

It must be hard to go to a school/live in a place where you can't be accepted..especially if you have no way of escaping :c
I don't know what I would do if I didn't leave my old school...lots of religious kids and rednecks who were very unaccepting..not saying that all of them were, but a LOT were.

A lot of times if you feel a certain way and someone tells you otherwise, you can start suppressing your feelings..this happened to me! I started having feelings for girls in middle school, but when my friend doubted it, I started to feel like maybe I wasn't. It wasn't until last year where I discovered that I was pansexual, but now I'm leaning more towards being a lesbian.
If you're interested in dating and marrying girls but also guys, then it's likely you are bi! Just listen to your heart, don't listen to what other people tell you.

That's my school "omg your gay wtf is wrong with you"
That's what someone said to my best friend Avi. I beat the **** out of them. Avi was crying..God. It's awful how bad people can be.
