I work at a school and they've just launched a lgbtq group and I'm going to start going along to help organise things etc.
What are some things that now, as angst-ridden gay/trans adults, you wish had existed when you were a angst-ridden gay/trans kid?
Or do you have other recommendations for things the group could do (trips, charities we could fundraise for, campaigns etc.)
>>8582834
An example of older gay person/couple who found hapiness in life and didn't get AIDS or drug addictions or beaten to death.
Make sure it doesn't end up looking like a tumblr meetup+anime club

Anon, I'm not sure that's possible

Would this apply for other bodily changes as well, because whenever I look in the mirror all I see is the same guy staring straight back at me like he did months ago. When will my reflection show- no, none of that. My body does seem smaller yet from the side I am still huge and ugly.
I am also getting depressed that I might be seen as a tomboy and that might lead to questions of 'why did you transition then'?
Bump for response.
>>8582740
The changes happen over time and if you don't normally take a lot of pictures then it might be hard to see the difference because you can't really see it in your day to day life. Other people will be able to see the changes in your body much easier than you will simply because they don't see you all the time.
I am the second poster you quoted and I think documenting in the ways of pictures and measurements can be a healthy way of telling yourself that things are happening even if ever so slowly.
>>8582908
I've never really been the selfie type to be honest. Not sure if it was my disgust with my appearance for so many years (and at this moment) or what. Thank you for replying by the way. The first cite was my original post.
I also made an appointment with my primary care practitioner to discuss possible Intersex conditions since I was intrigued too by how low my T dropped.
gay people are literally the masterrace

> Last year, Satoshi Kanazawa argued in the Journal of Biosocial Science that gay people are typically born with more intelligence than the average heterosexual.
>Kanazawa explained his findings through the Savanna-IQ Interaction Hypothesis, which holds that smart people are better able to override their evolutionary impulses, adapting to new stimuli and desires more effectively than average or dumb people can.
>>8582687
Gay and HSTS are of average, normal IQ.
>>8582687
my interpretation is that basically if you are smart enough you can choose to be gay
there are some people 'born gay' or gay for reasons other than IQ but this proves that some people do in fact choose to be gay to some extant, maybe they can more easily adapt to being 'prison gay.'
>pic related, drawn by a gay genius
>>8582687
if the bell curve of IQ for gay people is shifted towards higher IQ compared to heterosexuals, that is to say the average IQ is a higher, you would expect many people on the extreme high end of IQ to be gay, they should be disproportionally over-represented.

Ive heard the arguement before that most trans hate their genitals but why do so many flat out refuse oral sex?
While I dont focus primarily on it as a main even though I'm good at it, I just want to know why not?
>>8582260
I've tried it and it's never felt good. Not sure if it's cause I'm circumcised or what. I hate handjobs too.
But blowjobs feel like I'm being tickled, it's not arousing, and the sensation forces me to push them off me. Some guys seem to think it's "cute" but it's legit horrible lol
So I just clamp down with my thighs and squeeze their head off me, works every time lmao
>>8582260
For the same reason that you probably wouldn't want me to beat your face in with my fists, even though I would find it pleasurable to do.
>>8582277
What does get you off?
Hello, MtF here. I'm about a year into transition and currently fulltime. Still need a little bit of FFS, but I pass to 90% of strangers, so that's cool.
Anyways
I'm really tired of putting up with bullshit with my family, where they keep telling me I'm making a mistake because I'm just gay, and that I can't actually be trans. The rest are ok with it even if they don't understand, because they just want me to be happy, but it's rather annoying to hear these other voices in the background, saying, "oh, you just care too much about your appearance, just be a gay man." I guess they thought it was just a phase or something, and didn't say anything until now?
They're not even being rude about it, it's just the lowkey, "oh yeah, I see you're unhappy about the fact that your parents abandoned you. Maybe you should stop blaming them and rethink your decisions." It's super shitty, and they won't leave me alone.
What the hell do I do?
>>8582223
Is there anything stopping you from simply cutting contact to these people? They're simply projecting their own problems and lack of understanding onto you. You shouldn't let them affect your wellbeing.
I'm curious though. Did you come out as a gay before you came out as trans? That could have something to do with it. I think it's fairly normal for cispeople to see it as an extension of the gay culture instead of a separate thing that doesn't really have anything to do with which gender turns you on. You could try explaining that to them.
Distance yourself from them. Seriously, that's some snake-in-the-grass shit if I've ever seen it.
>>8582932
>You could try explaining that to them.
Not saying OP might have the same shitty luck, experience, this doesn't work. I've been transitioning for longer than she has, and despite explaining it dozens of times, no one in my family seems to understand why I couldn't just be a "normal lesbian."
>>8582932
I mean, I've already blocked them on FB and blocked their numbers. Thankfully it's mostly just my aunt and her daughter, and they live on the fucking other side of the country, but my aunt was super close with my dad for a while.
I came out as trans first, but they know I prefer guys. They really don't want to hear any of it, and would rather preach me their nihilism.
>>8583004
yeah, it was SO FUCKING WEIRD
they're coming at me with the whole, "you just have a victim mentality" as well, and it's really invalidating. Cuts pretty deep too, when validation is literally the only thing I want.
Collective armed deterrence is the most effective path toward preventing violence against LGBT individuals.
Tragedies like the pulse nightclub massacre could have easily been prevented, or at least mitigated, by a well armed LGBT populace.
You can not reason with bigotry. Exercising your right to keep and bear arms affirms your rights, and the rights of others, to be free from fear, discrimination, and violence.
You want to know why LGBT don't usually own guns? It's too easy to kill yourself.
>>8582162
This. I own guns but don't keep ammo at home.
>most effective
>leftie managed to shoot up a right wing baseball game without collective armed deterrence.
Who are you kidding?
When approaching and dating feminine gay men, is best to treat them like a masculine male would with a straight woman or approach them like you would with any male?
depends on what kind of homolust they have
>>8581737
I can't speak for everyone, but I would absolutely melt if someone were to treat me like a girl.
>>8581737
This shouldn't even be a question. They're feminine for a reason.
I don't know what I am anymore. I'm definitely a trans woman, but I seem to have evolved beyond human constraints. Things don't affect me as they used to. I am frequently numb to everything, but other times I am a raging sun of trauma engulfing my world, and I die each night, and am born anew each morning. My memory is a great burden. I'd stab my eyes out if it would make the flashbacks stop, if I could just forget what's happened. I've been kicked a few hundred times too many. What am I now? My wife is the only thing keeping me going, it's to ensure that she's cared for that has prevented me from committing suicide to stop the pain. Each session with my therapist unwinds trauma that is coiled inside me, it frees me to experience that suffering in full once more, it's maddening, and I need to make it stop. I'm consumed by grief for everything I've lost.

I've developed a hatred towards gay/feminine men and I decided this board knows how I could get rid of my irrational contempt for homosexuals and homosexuality. The hatred could be due to me being Bisexual and then gay for a period of my life but I don't know that's why I'm here
>>8581602
Most of this board shares the same opinion with you and has run most of the HSTSes off of the board for being "different".
>>8581602
>due to me beind Bisexual and then gay for a period of my life
Ha. Okay.
>>8581612
But I want to get rid of my hatred , maybe I hate gays because they tend to be liberal , idk. I just don't like hating gays

Do /tttt/ chasers like nerdy twinkhons of the Cat Taylor variety?
>>8580978
she a twinkhon but not 100% unpassable.
could probably get a low to mid low tier chaser
Who is Cat Taylor? What does she look like?
this is her right
Im so sorry. I tried my best. I fought for a bright future for trans women, and have been passed over in favor of deviants with a penchant for shoving horse dildos up their asses. Cathy Brennan was right. I pray God Emperor Trump smites the autogynephiles who have usurped the community from us. Best of luck, please stay true to yourselves.
And remember, the only good agp is a dead agp. Thank you for reading!

Same sentiments tbqh, funpai.
more transwomen are agp than not
it doesn't make them less trans
or you any more of a woman
no matter how much you'd want it to
What are you supposed to say when normies ask if you're gay?
I am actually gay but it's awkward as fuck being asked that. I wish I didn't look like such a faggot.

How has religion impacted your life as LGBT? Did it give you something to hold onto? Did it tear you down and make you ashamed?
>>8580722
I'm mostly acting indifferent towards it. I don't really care about religion because they're mostly all the same things just with different flavours. It just seems pointless to get al worked up over something that might not even be true
Put me down for a little both?
I've had to deal with some religiously motivated prejudice but my own faith was one of the things that helped me come out.
>>8580722
It made me repress
since this board is full of trans ppl, ive come here to ask for some advice about taking T.
im a 19yo gay stud but ive figured out that i hate my boobs and my hips and might want to take T to fix that. a friend of mine has suggested that i "naturally" do this by working out, redistributing my body fat etc. but i feel like even if i did that i still would yearn to be more masculine looking. i pass pretty well even tho I'm not trans. i get mistaken for a guy all the time given my height semi deep voice and broad shoulders. I'm not sure if i should take T, but if i did it would be in a very small dose.
idk if it's something i want to take, esp since I'm sorta fine with identifying as a masculine woman, but I've come to like the term transmaculine and identifying as non binary.
i don't mind a deeper voice, a little facial hair, now chiseled jaw, etc. in fact id probably like having those things. i think i might be scared that I'm trans but idk.
please if anyone could help me, tell me how you figured out you were trans? do u think i am based on what i said and if i should take T? idk what I'm doing, still trying to figure myself out. and i thought being gay was the worse thing possible. god must've heard.
>>8580707
>i hate my boobs and my hips and might want to take T to fix that
T won't fix that. To get rid of breasts you need surgery, and you're stuck with your hips.
so this is what AAP looks like, i've always wondered
t. AGP
Do you want to be a masculine woman or a man
knowing the difference could save your life
