A single unified LGBTQ+ conversation

Hopey just open a beauty salon. And employ me.

Go and do it Hopey, and I'll get some loans done in my name for you. <3

... I mean, I'm no professional guys. I don't even know if I could do you guys right.

But uhh

I dunno.

@ Brah. Sure, but its hard to work out exactly what you need based on photos. ;~~~;

What's wrong, Sixth?

Speaking of makeup, I just got some new eyeshadow, blush, and mascara. Soon I shall have all the makeup.

Hope you've got some quality stuff.

Rachel: That post was a shitty joke

Well, kind of the most obvious issue with getting makeup and stuff (or indeed any kind of feminine wardrobe) is that I don't exactly have finances of my own yet, and I'm not out in any sort of RL capacity so...

I mean, thanks for the advice, it seems pretty good, I just am not yet in a position to make use of it.

I haven't gotten a chance to use any of it, but I'm planning on going all out on Friday.

@ CLY: Any sort of LGBT group you can poke around in yet? Or is that also a step you're not ready for?

Good luck, post pics if you want.

I most likely will.

I want to go buy some female clothes. I did order that one dress but it was the wrong size so i had to send it back.

Seriously though, i don't have much cash and I doubt my mum will buy it for me

I haven't gotten around to looking at the school clubs in general yet.

If you have any close female friends maybe ask if they have any old things you can inherit?

@ CLY: Go forth then.

I'm desperate to leave the college closet but I have no idea HOW.

Maybe going to the LGBT club will help, in the end. Every time i'm refrred to as male i die a little inside, so yeah. no time to waste

Yes I recommend the club. Provided they haven't become massively political the clubs should be a safe haven with hopefully good resources.

Okay, I managed to find the college's club directory, and it seems there aren't any LGBT-related clubs.

Weird.

Well that makes it harder... Any collectives in the local town maybe?

I wouldn't even know how to start looking for that.

The internet. Look for local meetups, official websites, anything really.

My friend lent me her nail polish once.

And a few years back my other friends put eye gunk all over my eyes.

And a few years before that, I let a couple friends draw all over my face with sharpie...

But that's less makeup-related.

I'm at the point where i'm actually glad to be stuck at college because I don't have to go near my mum.

Until she starts accepting me as who I am, I don't want to associate with her much. She thinks she's being supportive, but really really isn't.

My friend, who Is FTM, is going through the same thing right now. Their mother was apparently okay with it at first, but then got fed up with it and asked him to "change back" because she didn't like being the only female in the house.

Better than my mum though, who refuses to admit i'm a girl......

Well that's what collage is, ain't it? Your first chance to strike out on your own and start building your life the way you want it to be. Sorry about your mom though... But to some extent, if my parents hadn't been not especially supportive of me during my trans phase I might never have realized it really was just me jumping the gun in response to the dullness of my life at the time... Not saying the cases are the same here, it's just like... Parents usually have what they think are your best interests at heart. It just doesn't always work out to them actually being your best interests, I suppose.

Jesus after reading these past few pages I so wish I could just give my IRL friends to you guys. I got lucky (literally because all my friends I never actually talked to first they talked to me) and I've found a group of people who really don't care what or who you are as long as you're a decent person underneath. Hell I don't think I'd have friends being as the way I am IRL without them. Knowing them I bet if one day I said I was trans they'd shrug tease a little (but to be fair with us teasing is kinda just what we do) and then go on with their days. It's kinda sad having to remember how dickish people really can be when you're used to better. People ask why I'm so angry all of the time and it's because I know even those stories are comparatively nice compared to what some people deal with (not that I'm devaluing what you have to deal with dear god no) it just makes me want to go on a bit of a rampage luckily I have people that keep me sane. At least for the foreseeable future that is.
