...See more Hello, i'm still learning about the LGBTQIA+ community and could use some help: Ever since I was Little, I've been disgusted by sex scenes in movies or TV shows, but only if they had real people in them. I have no problem of the characters are cartoons/animated, be they men, women, nonbinary, trans etc. Furthermore, the I do fantasize about being in intimate situation a, but the idea of someone being into me terrifies me. I honestly don't know what to think at this point. Any insight and advice Is greatly appreciated.

I FINALLY CAME OUT 🥹🎀💗
by BlushNebula
Last post
24 hours ago
...See more Okay… I actually did it. After SO long of questioning, overthinking, being scared, trying to understand myself, slowly experimenting with who I really am, and having a million little moments of “wait… this feels like me”… I finally came out. 🥹💕 And somehow, after all that time, it happened so much faster and more beautifully than I ever imagined. I was terrified of how it would go, but the person I came out to accepted me. Fully. And I genuinely don't think I've ever felt this much relief and happiness at once. 😭✨ The journey before this wasn't easy. There were so many moments where I felt confused, scared, alone, or like I had to keep a huge part of myself hidden. I spent so much time trying to figure out what I was feeling and whether I was allowed to feel this way. But somewhere along the way, things started changing. I stopped constantly asking “what if I'm wrong?” and started thinking “what if this is actually me?” And now… I get to say it. I'm a girl. 💗🎀 And OMG IT FEELS SO GOOD TO FINALLY SAY THAT 😭😭😭 I'm still processing everything, honestly. It feels a little surreal. Like I spent so long waiting for this moment that now that it's actually here, my brain is just going HELLO???? WE ACTUALLY DID IT???? 😭💅🏼 But mostly… I'm happy. Like REALLY, ridiculously, stupidly happy. 🥹💗✨ There's still a lot ahead of me, and I know this isn't the end of the journey. But for the first time, it feels like I'm walking forward as myself. And that feeling is everything. 🎀🌷💕 Thank you to everyone who's been kind to me along the way. You have no idea how much it means.

When did you realize you were TRANS/BI, and what did you do next..... especially if you couldn’t come out yet?
by BlushNebula
Last post
2 days ago
...See more recently realized I’m trans, but can’t come out yet. What did you do when you first realized...  I’m pretty sure about how I feel now, but there are still so many things I don’t know what to do with. I’m currently dealing with exams, family stuff, and the fact that coming out isn’t really an option for me right now. I’m in India too, so realistically I probably won’t be able to come out for at least a few more months. So for now, I’m kind of in this weird in-between stage where I know something important about myself, but I can’t really do much publicly about it yet. For those of you who realised you were trans, bi, or LGBTQ+ before you were able to come out, what did you do during that time? Did you explore your identity privately? Change little things about yourself? Keep a journal? Talk to someone? Just wait until you were ready? I’d really love to hear what helped you during that period, especially from people who had to stay closeted for a while. I could definitely use some advice and ideas for getting through these next few months 🥹🏳️‍⚧️💗

Questioning everything
by blueSquare7187
Last post
Tuesday
...See more I don't know who I am Not really sure where to go what to say or why I'm even posting but here we go.... For reference 30 F. I've not come out to my family, I'm out at work and with friends and my partner. So when I was a teenager at school, I started having dreams about my best friend, intimate dreams, well I wasn't sure what it meant so I told her, she wasn't impressed and wasn't happy about it. So I just stayed quiet about everything. When I started dating I didn't really have a type (I still don't). Didn't really matter to me, started going out getting drunk in clubs and flicked between both male and female dates for a while. I've only ever dated men, I sorta almost got into a relationship with a girl but didn't happen. I came out during COVID to my current partner (male) that I liked both male and female. Then a mate of mine told me he was pansexual, so I looked kinda sounded like me so I settled on that. But recently my therapist has got me thinking about my sexuality and identity and I'm not sure I know. I've always been a tom boy, I don't look like the typical girl type. Short hair, tattoos. I've always had thoughts and feelings about being male from when I was young but just kinda ignored them. I don't really know what I'm looking at or how I even start looking at what I identify as or who I'm attracted to. I was hoping I might be able to get some lived experience help to guide me

Skirt I saw a girl wear the other day is giving me extreme dysphoria
by agreeableSkies9889
Last post
August 8th
...See more She was wearing this black semi see through skirt that went down to her ankles and just the way it flowed around her feet was so beautiful. I've been wanting to wear dresses for a long time and I feel jealous that other people get to dress the way I wish I could but this dress just did something to me. I wanted to cry so bad... It was just the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. My sister just thinks I'm really in touch with my feminine side and doesn't really see that there's more to it when I complement her clothes but it's probably a good thing that she doesn't. I feel so gross. I don't want to be a guy anymore not even a little. Sorry I post so much on this thread recently, I just don't think I want to be a guy even a little bit and I can only talk to you guys about it. I'm going to talk to my therapist about it and I'm considering telling my mom because she's the only one that isn't super hateful and she's even said positive things about trans people before though I think she might still think it's a sin idk. I'm trying to be safe but I'm getting to a point where I don't really care anymore, is that really bad? I did tell my mom about trauma I've been through recently and she was super supportive so it gives me a little hope but idk.
