Prayin for you, bro. :c Hoping they're not idiots about it.
Damn, not the best way for her to find out! Make sure you talk to her about it at least.
Eek, good luck. :s I hope she'll be understanding!

Ugh, reminds me of when my mom went through my phone and found out that way. Here's to hoping everything goes over well. Will keep you in my thoughts.
Wow, I'm so happy this thread exists. -w-
I've been dealing with feelings of dysphoria for years, now.
At this point, I don't really know if I fully identify as a female. I'm still living as a male (albeit, an awesomely adorable one)
and, due to my emotional capacity and financial needs, I can't sever the ties to my family that would come with doing
something about my gender. I ran away to the city to do that once, before realizing how financially dependent I am on my parents.
They'd be absolutely devastated, so... despite how much I'd like to explore ways to fix things, I can't.

Nice thread 
I grew up in a small, mostly LGB community, didn't hear of many T's, and went through the stages of my mum "coming out" and telling her parents (my grandparents). I know her and her partner have had some horror stories throughout their lives of being in-the-closet L's in a conservative community, but by the time I knew about it (about 6), people were more open-minded. I've never once in my life experienced any hatred directed to me about my mother, so I consider that a good thing - but I know prejudice exists still, and I support the LGBT community often. I also study Psychology and would like to one day offer support from a more "professional" standpoint.
(I do actually have a Dad, who has a wife, and I therefore say I have 3 mums. The more the merrier.)

wow, that's one of the reasons i have never kept a journal or diary. nobody can read my innermost thoughts and secrets if i don't write them down.
i hope your mother is understanding or at the very least, loving enough to accept you the way you are, even if she doesn't understand.

I'm quite lucky in that I already know my parents POV on LGBT: they both agree that it's no one's business who other people choose to be with. In that way, I don't feel the need to state my sexuality unless people directly ask (or if I'm interested in someone and decide to make the first move).
I'm straight but I am fully supportive of the community. My mom and my brother are gay, and I love them both very much. I've seen the hardships and discrimination they went through first-hand and it isn't pretty. It was tough seeing my conservative family immediately reject my mother when she came out. It kinda crashed this friendly image I had of my relatives growing up.
My twin brother on the other hand has been very selective on who he told growing up. Now he's much more of a take it or leave it guy, and I totally respect him.
When I got together with my longterm girlfriend now, the first thing I said was, "Look, if you can't even tolerate gay people we will not get along. My family means the world to me and I will not change that for anyone or anything." She is a decent person and accepted them too without hesitation.

Transgender people in Greece are now being rounded up and detained in a continuation of the social cleansing of the “undesirables”.
****.
THIS.
WOW I JUST READ THIS AND A FEW OTHER ARTICLES AND CONDITIONS IN THESE DETAINMENT CAMPS ARE HORRIBLE… THEY’RE ROUNDING UP ANYONE WHO “LOOKS LIKE A MIGRANT” AND DOESN’T HAVE PAPERS, AND ANYONE WHO “LOOKS LIKE A SEX WORKER”, INCLUDING TRANS WOMEN.
ALSO, NEO-NAZISM IS POPULAR AND PUBLIC, BOTH IN GOVERNMENT AND ON THE STREETS
MIGRANT WORKERS ARE PROMISED WAGES, THEN NEVER PAID, AND ARE AFRAID THEY’LL BE KILLED FI THEY PROTEST OR TRY TO ESCAPE- AND THEY’RE RIGHT, COMPANIES OPENED FIRE ON 200 PROTESTING UNPAID WORKERS (AND BY THAT I MEAN SLAVES)
here’s the human rights watch page on the issues,
THIS IS LITERALLY HOW THE HOLOCAUST BEGAN
Omg…. I had no idea this was happening
Edit: Mother ****er, there is no reason this should have not reblogged with my commentary.
Anyways:
During WWII, very few people knew that the Holocaust was happening, and this is absolutely why we need to keep this in the public eye, so we can prevent the greatest atrocity the world has ever seen from happening ever, ever again. Because contrary to popular belief, we (America) did not enter WWII in order to save Jewish people, we did it because we were attacked at Pearl Harbor and didn’t want our Pacific Island holdings threatened, simple enough. The Russians and American GIs that liberated the camps were actually horrified and astounded to find them, because they had no idea that kind of human extermination had even been going on.
People need to know about this **** happening, or else things could get very ugly very quickly.

This is harsh, though there's def. truth here. I don't believe there's a major disparity in sex drives, but men just think about it slightly more. It's a Alpha Male hallucinogen- if you're straight, you're going to want to pursue her by default. Women & girls know this; some are put off by it, some req. more attention, some do not even want it but give in. There's nothing wrong w/ these reactions, it's just socially, we've come to communicate this way.
I never saw a single episode but read about its success. IMO, people enjoyed this show because these beautiful women were wealthy, somewhat independent minded (due to their wealth), were involved in very funny situations, & enjoyed sex 24/7. Unfortunately, they're also waaay short of feminist ideals. The core characters do not represent the majority of women in any way.
This isn't true. Women are more independent than ever; present as high political figures, running major corporate entities, leads in more television shows & films... This independence, this influence passes on to any educated female & in turn, it's only natural that attitudes & personalities evolve for the better. Is there a balance between men & women? Not yet, but we're trying to close the distance.
I sorta agree w/ exception to our standards of the ideal female. At least in NYC, inter-racial relationships are very common in all shapes & sizes. Though there's a strong Fashion District here & some women/girls are pressured into model appearances- honestly, if I'm w/ someone that's near obese well... I want you to be healthy so let's work together & fix that. Will I ever ask: "Why can't you fit in that dress on the runway?" Sure, if I wanted her to leave me.
Yes, drunk or not I agree w/ Bambi that females are more open sexually. But, straight guys cannot do this. The only viable scenario is your were DRUNK but I guess you can throw drinking out the window because your male buddies will likely never join you for a glass. Bear in mind- every sports gathering, beach party, birthday, wedding, BBQ, camping... unless he's family, it's time to stick to club sodas.

Live strong buddy. Give it a week to set in & then prime yourself for the most important discussion of your life. The good news is you've had the practice- this speech has already been revised tons of times for this moment. If they're unreasonable to the point of verbal abuse & possible violence; don't be a victim. Always have a Plan B. Good luck, Micah.

Here's something that brightened my day!
My friend and I (she's bi, I'm lesbian) were doing some late-night island tours. Then this happened:
My friend is also Filipino. In the Philippines, 'tomboy' is used as a (sometimes derogatory) term for a lesbian.
We couldn't stop laughing!

Derogatory? Really? Huh. I never thought of it that way. Well, different cultures I suppose.

That's what I was told, anyway.
'Bakla' (which can encompass anything from a slightly feminine gay man to a mtf transsexual) is sometimes derogatory as well.
But really, even 'gay' and 'lesbian' can be used in a derogatory manner. I suppose it's not so much the word itself, but whether people use it in a homophobic way.

I think I'm bisexual. I say ''I think'' because I'm not really sure yet, but I think I am. I am attracted to both girls and boys, right now I'm in a relationship with a boy (I'm a girl, by the way) and it's the best. I love him a lot, so it's not really ''relevant'' for me at the moment. However, even though I'm attracted to girls sexually, I don't think I would want to enter a relationship with one. Which might change if I actually fall in love with one, of course. So I don't really know.
