ways to come out???

...See more hello to everyone ❤️❤️ question: what are some ways to come out so recently ive felt that i might be bi or gay and my country is pretty homophobic (even though it is completely lgbtq friendly) and im pretty sure most my family is too. in addition to that i probably might be a femboy not sure and i know for sure that my mom is transphobic and idkk what to doooo. and my school is completely homophobic and treating gay like an insult lik why (only maybe like 2-3 kids in my class arent but since the popular kids are theyll pretend too so they dont get called out) are there any ways you have came out to your homophobic/transphobic parent(s) or just made it easier to bear with?

looking for other asexuals for support
by KanekiKen6661
Last post

...See more Hi everyone! I've started to think I might be on the asexual spectrum. I do enjoy having sex sometimes, most of all by myself, but I don't really feel sexual attraction, or very little of it. I had to break up with my long term boyfriend over my supposed low libido because it was so tiring to be expected to have intercourse when I wasn't feeling like it to keep the peace. We tried opening our relationship but unfortunately it didn't work for us. How did you realize you were asexual if you're not sex repulsed? I feel romantic attraction and I would like to find a partner in the future but I'm really scared of having the same issue and I would like to give some kind of heads up if i do meet someone i want to be with.

Growing up in the closet and (childhood) emotional neglect
by whatamidoingreally
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more Hello, fellow LGBTQIA+ friends and allies! It's my first time posting on here, so please bear with me if I haven't categorized this topic correctly.  I'm interested in hearing about people's experiences growing up closeted: what effects/concequences do you recognize now as an adult? How did that experience shape you/change you for better or worse? How did it affect your relationships with parents/siblings/close family and friends? Do you notice any specific behaviors/tendencies within yourself that might be a result of growing up in the closet?  I've been reading on the topic of childhood emotional neglect and have noticed some similarities: in my opinion, growing up closeted can be classified as an "adverse childhood experience/ACE", since it meets some of the main criteria (mainly emotional neglect from caregivers, could also include verbal/physical abuse in the family/community).  I would be happy to learn about your opinions/experiences, if you feel comfortable sharing. Forgive me if my interpretation/classification is wrong/misinformed - I'm not a professional in any shape or form, nor do I claim to be. If there's anyone willing to educate me and the community on the topic - please, do share your knowledge. Thanks in advance! Stay safe and take care. 😊

Being a trans teenager
by sparklingpinkbunny
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more Hello, I’m an average 13-year-old trans girl. I’ve known about my gender identity since I was around eleven. I’m not here to talk about family problems, transphobia, bullying, or any social experiences, but rather about how my pain comes from my own body. I really used to enjoy being alive before hitting puberty. I remember my 10-year-old self like it was yesterday, an age when I didn’t have to struggle with my own body. Gender dysphoria is such a mix of horrible emotions and feelings. You mourn your childhood and the teenage years you could have had, feel an overwhelming sense of jealousy towards cis people who can simply live their lives in bodies that feel like their own, watch your own body change while you can do *** NOTHING, fear what your body is going to turn into and what you’ll look like in the future, and so much other ***. I just wish I could have a normal life or a supportive family who would allow me to safely access HRT. 😭🥺

What Makes You Feel Free to Be Yourself?
by inherimagenatrix44
Last post
 2 days ago
...See more Feeling comfortable enough to be yourself can make a meaningful difference in everyday life. For some people, it's spending time with accepting friends. For others, it's enjoying a favorite hobby, expressing themselves through clothing, listening to music, or simply being in a space where they feel respected. What helps you feel most comfortable being yourself? Share only what you're happy to share. Everyone deserves kindness, dignity, and the freedom to express themselves without being judged.
