Holy shit guys. I really put myself in a vulnurable position, and my parents - who are pretty liberal - flat out laughed me away. What in the actual fuck.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Do you think this could be a form of denial on their part?
I had an almost identical experience when I came out as trans.
For months afterwards my parents were still in denial, confusion and disbelief. They tried to tell me that I was confused or in a phase, that it was the fault of the media spreading positive things about being trans.
They ignored any changes as I started looking and acting feminine more openly, and they started telling me to watch the football, cut my hair and just man up and get over it.
>>5227544
my mom laughed at me and then refused to discuss it when I told her about how displeased I was with the fact that they mutilated me as a baby against my will.
I definitely think it's a denial thing.
>>5227573
What do you mean mutilated?
why don't you have a boyfriend fags?
>>5226433
But I do.
Is love a human right? Does every human being on the planet deserve love?
>>5226450
Love has to come from someone else, so basically you're asking if one is entitled to someone else's love. No. When a segment of society lacks something, it's usually the government's job to step in. So if you think love is a right, then government should provide it.

"'I support her as trans, but I won't support her as an act of bravery for transitioning in the public's eye, while millions are homeless for identifying, dead, or dying because they have to do damn near anything just to find a place to sleep at night."
Doesn't sound like an attack. Sounds like the honest truth. Cait's not brave, nor representative of trans people.
Any other gay men have a low key pregnancy fetish?

Unlikely. I just kind of melt when I see women with pregnant bellies, idk.

No Thank you, I'm not gay. lol
So how do to create a friend ship with a str8 guy?
If a straight guy doesn't want to be your friend its probably because you come off way too faggy.

WHERE DO ALL OF THESE TRANSPEOPLE COME FROM!? THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!

>WHERE DO ALL OF THESE TRANSPEOPLE COME FROM!?
The best working theory is epigenetic factors in the womb causing both gays and trannies.
>THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!
Not really, they're an extremely small minority tho the causes result in them being fairly widely distributed among the population.

The bad guy was actually the prick who didn't let him in into the art academy because "you don't know how to do portraits".
Maybe Hitler had a point. I say that as a MtF who would probably have been gassed.

>>5236376
Who are you quoting?
How can I feel so fufilled and so empty at the same time? I'm working, doing what I love, and yet I have this nagging feeling I can't pin down.
I was thinking about it last night. If the universe offered me a wish, one reality bending wish, told me I could be retroactively female, never known as male, I would do it. So what, am I afraid of being a mockery?
I can't even feel enough to kill myself. Please help me.
I'm in the same situation with the same question.

So has anybody here moved from a place with a small or nonexistant gay community to one of the bigger gay-friendly cities?
Did it improve your quality of life? Or were you just as miserable there as you were in your shitty small town?
you could always plan a trip up there and maybe go to a few events to see if you like it before making a decision about living there
>>5234025
Don't expect your quality of life to improve just from moving. It might give you better/more opportunities to go to events that might be interesting to you, but that's it.
>m-muh hormones
Give it to me straight legbutts
Are hormones really magic?
Have I been memed this whole time?
lol. they take years to work completely. give it 6 months. sometimes people need 2+ years.
worse case you get ffs.
Genetic lottery.
To some they are, to some they aren't.
I've been, as with all things, in the middle of the spectrum and there's days I wake up wondering if anything happened at all, other days I look in the mirror and think I'm a fair 6.5/10
Which is probably to say, hormones are for the bigger part a mental thing and your outside adjusts to more things than just your E and T levels. Being a visibly happy person has a much bigger effect than people give it credit for.
>>5228217
Is there anything you can do to make hormones work better? Make them react better to your body?
I'm still waiting for HRT to start and I'm trying to do everything I can to ensure that I don't become any manlier than I am. I'm avoiding meat and calcium as much as possible.

When you're mentally ill beyond any reasonable repair, are you obligated to kill yourself? When you know you've reached a point where no matter how hard you try there's no feasible way for you to be a functioning member of society, is it immoral to continue taking up space? There are so many worse people, and they continue to take up space. So I guess I should be allowed too as well. But I should also hold myself to higher standards than those shitty people.
But killing myself could ruin the lives of other people, and that would be much more immoral than simply being a waste of space. I'm so fucking bored.
If you're trans, it really honestly does get better
If you're just gay, go see a psychiatrist, start exercising and get a job
Hey, OP, if you need to talk, I'm here. You remind me a lot of someone who was very special to me.
>>5215205
I saw a psychiatrist
He told me I was probably a schizoid or something, then told me to go to school. That was pretty much it. I went to school then stopped going to school.
Now I'm trying to get onto HRT as a last ditch effort to save my mind from spiraling into insanity, or just simply killing myself.

Talking to anonymous strangers over the internet is unfortunately the only thing keeping me in touch with reality these days. I wish I had real friends.

I've been sitting on this for about a week and have no idea how to address it. I don't know how my parents would respond. I just want him to stop taking my clothes. He's even taken some of my underwear. ( Some of my nicer underwear at that. I fucking loved those boyshorts. )
How do I handle this delicately /lgbt/? He's my brother. Even if I think it's gross, or weird, or unnatural, I don't want him to be miserable or suffer. I just can't have him stealing my shit constantly.
>>5234764
"Listen here you little shit. If you want clothes, give me some money and I'll buy you some, but if you keep stealing my stuff I'll make your life hell on earth, got it? By the way, that body pillow is fucking creepy."

What's weird about a body pillow? I love mine.
