I'm not trans, but I do know of several homemade binders that may help you in your situation. You could also ask a trusted adult if they would maybe let you ship the binder to their house, but that may be kind of awkward or frowned upon, depending on who you ask. I'll look for the post that has the homemade binder on it.

Also, I'm sorry about your situation. :( It really sucks. Hopefully you'll be able to move out/ go to college far away sooner rather than later.

Found it! Hopefully that works for you. o:

Thank you so much! I'd never seen that method before. Hopefully that will work. I do plan on going to college a few hours away, which will hopefully let me start my transition.
 
Those of you with parents who are not accepting of your gender/sexuality I really feel for you because it's something I went through too. My parents used to say gay people go to hell, fags are disgusting, etc... Thankfully they eventually came to accept me for who I am, although it was not until the time came for me to move out to go to college. When I was a teenager I thought once I moved out I would never want to talk to them again. I'm glad they accept me now and that I can have a good relationship with them. I hope that your parents can learn to understand someday as mine did. Sometimes it is possible for people to change. And sometimes it takes a lot of time.

This has probably been asked before, but here I go:

Those of you who are homosexual, how do you feel about the usage of "gay" as a derogatory term? Ex: "That movie was gay." "You're so gay!"

I hear that all the time and it makes me bristle, and I was curious about how that affects you guys.

When I hear people use the word gay in that way it makes me really disappointed because in most cases they are not homophobic people, they just don't understand how associating the word gay with negative things spreads homophobia and hurts peoples feelings. Or they do know and just don't care which is even worse. It just makes me sad. If someone I'm hanging out with uses the word gay negatively I explain to them why I don't like it and ask them to stop.

From a few pages back, but I'm ace/aro (and also leaning towards agender...I identified as trans before I even knew what ace/aro was, but I feel the least comfortable coming out with that. So I'm just me. But I have gone out not even trying to pass as male and have gotten called sir, and that made me feel better than I thought it would...)

But anyway. I'm ace/aro, and I've come out to a few friends about it. They were really understanding, which I thought was great especially since, of all of them, ace/aro is definitely the most...unknown? I do still find people (of all genders, orientations, what have you) aesthetically attractive, though.

I'm guessing curriculum night is kind of like open house night (or whatever, I haven't done it since like elementary school)? I guess there's no chance that you can quickly let your teachers know, so I hope everything goes well for you. I had a friend in the same situation last night, and it didn't go over very well with her parents. Still, maybe you'll get lucky and your teachers won't call you by name.

Yeah, they talk to the teacher and stuff. Only 3 of my 5 teachers use my preferred name though. (Because the other 2 I had last year so IDK how to tell them..). One of the teachers said it will be fine and that she won't refer to anyone, but I couldn't get a chance to talk to the other 2. I'm paranoid they'll slip. I hid the paper from my mom mostly because I don't want her to go. But if she already knows about it then ugh.

That really sucks. :( I'm guessing it's tonight (sorry, I keep guessing lol), so that's the main issue. Do you go with your mom? You could leave her with one of your teachers (preferably one of the ones that either doesn't call you by your preferred name or the one that already knows your situation) and go on to tell the others what's up. Other than that, the only thing I can think of is emailing them, but there's no guarantee they'll check their emails before it starts.
 
Sixth form is fab, no-one knows i'm trans, no-one can tell, and it just feels fab to finally be the gender i am, making new friends and just ahh

That's fantastic! I'm so happy for you :)


My college has a club/support group that's just for LGBT+ students, and I said my preferred pronouns out loud for the first time last night, and it just felt so good. I was really scared that I wouldn't be able to be myself here, especially since this is a (sort of) religious school, but I'm so happy that isn't the case.
 
I heard some people saying some homophobic stuff at school; almost got in a fight.
 
I told my dad I'm gay for the second time. He's ignorant. He says why I just don't go bang my cute coworkers instead of some guys furry butt? He also gave me some "facts" about how gay people always turn to drug usage.

At least he didn't rage on for two whole days like last time.
