I came out last night to my friend who I've been friends with for 20yrs and she just was like "so everything's still the same then?" and I was like "yep, just thought you should know" and we hugged it was very nice

 

Got called ma'am when buying beer and then sir by the homeless man outside the store.

So yeah, as I walked through the parking lot past the 50 pigeons going insane over some bread, I realized that I don't ever want to be called ma'am again, and also that being called sir is so much better and I would like to be called that more often. Yeah.

 

So I have this problem where even though i'm pansexual I still use gay and ***got as negative/derogatory terms and for whatever reason i'm having a hell of a time breaking that habit. I suspect its just because my friend group and community do it all the time so it seems so normal even though its not okay.

 

If you don't mind me asking what kind of pressure or discrimination do you face from your community?

 

I have an appointment Sept 1 to see about starting testosterone. Holy shit.

I remember there being a few trans guys on apnet...any of you make it to chorus?

 

the only one I know of
LGBTQIA+ Thread

also yay

 

So so so happy for you!

 

Thank you :) I keep going back and forth between being elated and terrified right now. I know I want to do this but ahhhh

 

Different kinds, I guess. My family is split into two different sides, with my fathers side being very homophobic. My father literally has a huge confederate flag tattooed on his back. If I came out to them they'd surely disown me, which I could care less about, but there's also a very real threat of violence there. My mothers side is weird, there the type of people who will preach tolerance and acceptance but don't feel comfortable hanging around gay people, even though they say they support them. Most of the people associated with my friend group are the "I don't mind gays but like why they gotta hold hands in front of me and shit" type.

I'm not sure if I really answered what you asked properly but I hope this sufficed ha.

 

this is pretty much exactly how I felt when I was about to start estrogen. It's pretty reasonable to feel that way, it is a huge step after all.

but anyway, I'm seriously so happy for you! :)

 

Bump!

So yeah my appointment is on Thursday, and I was so nervous last Thursday, like freaking 7 hours of anxiety, from before I woke up right to my (very conveniently timed) therapy appt. But the last few days? I'm so ready to get this thing going. I was playing around with a facial hair app (ha) and ended up with an image that looks closer to Me(TM) than I have ever really seen in the mirror. Not my brother, not a relative, but ME. And it was a freakin chin strap, of all styles. Anyway. There's so much to this besides what just affects me, but at the end of the day, now when I get nervous I just go back to that image, and I know this is the right path.

 

I just found this thread and you're all so lovely and supportive I'm bisexual, my boyfriend and close friends know but I can't come out to my family so I appreciate any safe space I can find

 

Hi guys. I'm bisexual, polyamorous, single, and rather closeted. I live in a small town that I doesn't seem very "any lifestyle other than heterosexual monogamy" friendly. So that's why I have the internet.

 

Welcome to the club!

 

Hey friends, I've been on hormones for a year now. Got some pictures today to mark my progress and I figured I'd share!



For comparison:

 

Wow, that's an amazing transition! How do you feel?

 

Thank you! I feel a lot better than I used to, to say the least.

 

so a couple of my friends and I have started referring to ourselves as The New Gay, which is comprised of two cis and one trans gay dude who attend wrestling events together

Since December we've done a WWE house show, a pay per view, a taping of Smackdown, an NXT house show, and on the docket next month we have Ring of Honor and Beyond Wrestling tapings to attend

 

I saw the most beautiful girl being interviewed at the restaurant where I work yesterday. Hoping she gets hired.

 

Girl get it

 

The past like three or four dates I've had have ended with the other guy texting me saying something that implies that they want to stay friends or aren't interested in another date.

Part of me feels like it's partly due to the culture that we live in when it comes to that sort of stuff, but the other part me can't help but feel like I'm not "ready" or "qualified" to date someone yet??? I dunno. It's confusing.

 

Happy bi visibility day

 

Just got back from SF. My labs are good, the doc sent in my T prescription to the pharmacy, and I go back the 7th for my first shot. Whoa. This is finally going to happen.

 

I'm so proud of you
