I missed it yesterday, but happy Coming Out day to all you fine folks. For those of you who are out publicly, did you ever have any issues?

 

Came out as a lesbian at 19. My friends didn't bat an eye. My parents thought it was a bit of a phase at first, but never in a mean way. I was worried my extended family would react poorly but everyone was supportive. I never knew just how supportive until I was having some marital problems a few years later, and my big old gruff Uncle Frank pulled me aside and asked how my wife and I were doing. Totally out of left field from him, ha

And now...I've only told my parents, my brother, and two friends about being trans. So far everyone is cool with it. All in all I know I'm lucky for having such a good experience.

 

Apparently a lot of lesbians own Subarus?

 

Yeah, that's been the stereotype for a while now. Its a weird stereotype, but apparently pretty accurate.

 

hmmm, makes my childhood friends random ironic in-joke of hating all subarus a little weirder

I never see anything about this from late night hosts, so this caught me by surprise. :)

 

It failed in parliament, which is good. They should be apologised to not pardoned.

Shiner!!! If you are in Texas that is.

Anytime I had Shiner when I lived in NC it was...not great.

 

Oh wasn't aware it was anywhere outside of texas.

Their chocolate bock is delish.

A Suicide Hotline Volunteer on Talking to LGBTQ Teens After the Election

 

Welp, I just had a "fun" experience at the pharmacy trying to get my needles for my T. Pharmacist tried to give me the wrong type of needle, asked me from across the room my dose and what I was injecting, then tried to give me the wrong type of needle and the wrong gauge. Just didn't listen to me at all. The pharmacy tech was super nice though, and figured it all out for me, so I have the supplies I need.

I contacted corporate. I don't know if his bullshit was LGBTQ related or if he's just an asshole or what. I'm no longer shy about the medicine I'm taking, so I don't care if other people heard me essentially yelling "I'M NOT DRAWING UP AN OIL IN A 31G NEEDLE. THAT'S WAY TOO SMALL" or "I'M NOT STABBING MYSELF WITH AN 18G NEEDLE THAT ALREADY WAS STABBED INTO MY T VIAL" and so on.

I am not letting this go. Dude picked the wrong god damn week for this.
