Finding this topic tonight was a pleasant surprise! I'm a gay male. I just finished reading/scanning over-a-year's-worth of posts. I guess I've been too busy playing ACNL and spending time on the ACNL boards to notice this topic. Cheers!

i really wanna chop off my hair so people will stop mistaking me as a girl (though they will probably confuse me for a guy? but ehh) im thinking of getting a boys haircut and i saw one that i really liked and i was just like wow i really want that?? i told my friends about it and like one of them supported me (she said it would look cute on me <33) while the others looked at me weird. my parents dont take me seriously and tbh i think im just going to walk to the barbers after school and get a haircut myself but i dont know how people would react. advice? (itl ooks pretty curly and its soo cute idk if my hair can be like that maybe i can put some gel on??? idk) my parents want me to get something longer but like um no its my hair and my head i can do what i want. they basically hate it if i do anything masculine. (but my mom wont let me buy thigh highs :///)
also have no idea how im going to buy a binder without them objecting. anyone in seattle wanna sell me one? </3 (maybe i can enter a giveaway for them)

Well, the nice thing about hair while you are young is: it can grow (back)!
I think I heard that pixie cuts were "in" not too long ago (I don't know if they still are) among the Hollywood "set."
Anyway, make sure you get advice from a reputable/experienced stylist who can answer your question about curly/gel first before you cut.
Well I don't know what hair cut it its, but the sad thing is people do judge based on appearances. BUT if its going to happen anyway, don't you want them to judge you based on what you like and want to look like? I don't want to get you in trouble, but I'd go for it. I would say to try to find a picture of someone with the same jaw as you having that haircut to see if it effects your face, and whether you like it. and how Liquefy said, make sure the gel will work.
On the binder front, do you cosplay or anything? I mean its not the ideal situation to make an excuse, and i'm not sure that would really make it sound any better to your parents anyway, but it is a reason that you can say that isn't just you if you are trying to think of one. My friend has a nice one that is good for all day and is apparently pretty comfortable. If you do manage to get them to let you get one, or get money to get one I can try to find out where she got it. ALSO you could get someone you know to buy it online and just pay them cash?
Sorry I'm really not helpful.

Congratulations on the date :3 I'm glad it went well.
yeah (i got a haircut a while ago and my hair grew back already wow) so if it looks bad i guess i can wait for it to grow out
hmm pixie cuts are okay but thats not what i had in mind. i have a picture of someone with it but i feel weird posting it because theyre not a model or anything ahaha. but its basically fluffy kinda and ends around the ears and has long bangs.
yeah ill go ask a stylist before doing anything (if it doesnt come out right ill probably be really sad)
im glad your date went well!
hmmm i think i will go for it. i guess the main reason im hesitant to get it is that my friends arent really accepting and i dont know how people will react? but i think they'll understand.
ooh yeah i never thought about using cosplay as an excuse to get one.i dont cosplay, but my parents know what cosplay is. i dont know if they would actually want to buy a binder for me solely for cosplay tho.
well i cant really ask my friends because their parents will probably look at them weird too. i guess the very most i can ask a teacher for help if my parents object it because i honestly really want one. (i think 2 of my teachers like me a lot??) it bothers me so much and i think getting a binder for me would make my day so much better.
hmm someone linked me a couple binders earlier but i checked them out and they were sold out apparently. i tried looking online but i didnt know if i could really trust those sites because i dont want to waste money on a binder that doesnt fit or isnt comfortable.
ty everyone!
I'm bit late on the queer thing but I do not like being called queer because I do see it bit... "negative" word. And I'm not... really even "queer". I'm straight transsexual person who identifies with binary gender. I wish I was cis man, it's like the BIGGEST thing I would want to happen but it's impossible so yeah, haha. But I don't see any problems people calling themselves queer, if they want to then go ahead, it's just not for me.
Also I'm going to get my diagnosis soon-ish (hopefully) from the trans clinic I've been going to since December and if I get F64.0, I can start HRT and get in line for mastectomy. I actually thought about starting taking hormones on my own some time ago, but I don't have the money or resources for it. u-u

my parents have been wondering why ive been so upset and sad lately and idk how to tell them?? i hate my body so much and it pisses me off and i want to get a haircut but im not going to tell them im nb. ive always been sad but i guess its gotten worse and now my teachers are starting to question me and idk what to do. i dont really feel comfortable telling my parents because..they dont understand. but i do want to go see a doctor to see if i have depression and other health issues but they keep asking me why. they keep asking why im sad and i think im just going to makeup something so they stop asking me about it.

The problem is, it's a cultural issue. And it needs to change. Some of these are really ****ty cultures.
All cultures have a dark side.
It takes a lot to change the mindset of a nation/culture as a whole. I'm sure people, cultures, and beliefs will change, but it will take a long time.
It's a hard situation in the first place, since those who are transgender seem to be in the minority in societies. I mean, yeah on the internet we are more familiar with it because people are more comfortable to say it online rather than in person. It's become easier over time to utilize the internet and find people who are similar to yourself.
But years back, it was hard for me to grasp the very concept of a transgender at first. And I'm not very spiteful towards those who don't share my orientation. I was just unfamiliar with it. I kept asking questions, but I was still confused. It took me a while to just accept it as it is lol.
And I'm sure we don't hear more about it more often outside of the internet because people like tsundere are scared about coming forth and talking about it, so they go unheard. Plus with people who are hateful, short-tempered, scared of being judged... it's hard to make a point with them when they grew up believing and behaving a certain way and aren't open enough to try to understand. It's hard changing ONE person, let alone a collective culture.
There is really just an appalling lack of education when it comes to the LGBTQA community. In schools the anti-bullying campaigns focus more on tolerance than acceptance. Even in university, where people are supposed to be more educated, I've encountered a great deal of homophobia. Back in January I was in an upper level Biology course where the professor decided to off on a tangent about why homosexuality was "wrong". I ended up gathering my things and leaving mid-lecture, and several other students did the same, most of them looking as disgusted and as angry as I was.
The thing that strikes me the most, however, is that for over 100 years humans have known that there is nothing wrong or abnormal about being gay. Yet there is still so much bigotry still left. There is even this wonderful German film titled 'Anders als die Andern' (Different from the others) from 1919 that deals with this very same topic. Here is my favorite quote from it:
"You mustn't think poorly of your son because he is homosexual. He is not at all to blame for his orientation. It is neither a vice nor a crime, indeed, not even an illness, but instead a variation, one of the borderline cases that occur frequently in nature. Your son suffers not from his condition, but rather from the false judgement of it. This is the legal and social condemnation of his feelings, along with the widespread misconceptions about their expression." - Anders als die Andern, 1919

Wow it's cool there's a QUILTBAG thread here~ (the one in another forum I visit kinda died >.<)
I fit in the L category-after a period of questioning/soul-searching. My friends are really supportive though one of my best friends, (guy) had a hard time accepting. -.- He asked me loads of questions, a lot of them involving why, (esp. when did you decide to stop dating guys irked me) but I toughed out and answered them all. (long story- I thought he was just curious but he admitted he had a crush on me since we met five years ago).

Ugh, I got the same reaction when I told some of my friends.

=.= It really puts you on the spot. I hate having to explain myself...-.- I dunno if my other best friend from high school knows, she's a devout Christian evangelist and I don't know what her beliefs/views on sexuality are.
