Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

(*LGBTQ+ Solidarity huggles*)

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

Yay, people like my pics. :D

I've been out for nearly two years now, and I've made barely any headway towards transitioning. It doesn't help that I can't find group therapy in Indianapolis...

Basically, I was on my period, and she was yelling at me to put a bra on. I went into the bathroom and muttered "you wouldn't be doing this to a boy", and that's when the outburst happened. Luckily, she's gone now.

She said she'll be back at 6:00, right now it's almost 2:00...

Four hours by myself and I couldn't be any happier that my only company is a sleeping dog.

@Aiko: Yeah we do.

@AZ: do you feel dysmorphic a lot? I don't know a huge amount about it, except for watching a good childhood friend deal with it. She found it incredibly hard sometimes. :/

There's also the fact that my mom isn't accepting of anything I do. I want to be an artist / writer. I've wanted to be in the artistic field my entire life. What does my ever-so-empathetic mom say?

"You won't get paid at all, try doing something else."

Really, now. I've set my heart and mind on something and you say it doesn't pay enough. Say, how is being a massage therapist going along for you?

[up]

I usually worry about if I look masculine enough, but it's only been recently where I wish that my vagina would burst into flames and my breasts would be used as candles.

^ It's amazing how unsupportive parents can be. Maybe it's the time period they grew up in, but I'll never understand parents who dislike how their child turned out. As long as they're happy and healthy, who cares?

Also, my mom is very similar to your mom. She still doesn't know why I'm not "normal" for various reasons.

Parents should be supportive of most things their kids do, I think...

...What if the parent has a different definition of "healthy"?

[up] That seems to be the source of a lot of the problems.

Child: "I am this way. Please accept it and continue to love me"

Parent: "You're sick! Of course I love you, but you need help!"

It's understandable but a pretty awful situation to be in.

@AZ: Not taking your mom's side, but I can see why your mom said that. I don't think she did it simply to be mean to you, she just wants you to be successful in life, and let's face it, it is really hard to make a living as an artist, no matter how much you want to do it.

Yeah, I understand that there are Starving Artists, but I have practically no skills outside of art and I have been dead-set on it since childhood. My entire life is spent learning narrative, story structure, anatomy, ect., and there's the fact that my mom herself has chosen a career path that isn't well-paid.

Well, maybe that's just all the more reason for her - she knows poor life sucks, and wants better for you? I dunno.

So...It kinda feels weird to say this. It's probably a silly question, but...how do you know? I mean, just, how does one figure it out, in general?

'Cause I'm a little bit...confused, right now. I've never really been interested in dating in general, but I, like a lot of the other people here did, just sort of assumed myself straight, as the default. But the thing is that I always found cross-dressers hot. Like, reaaaaally hot. And effeminate guys in general. I rationalized it away as 'they're super girly, so it doesn't count', but that acceptable range is starting to widen lately, so I guess I'm not really sure? It's really starting to bother me - not the possibility of being bi(I seriously doubt myself to be full-on gay), just the not knowing - and of course, I've had the good fortune to start wondering during the two weeks out of six months I'm actually at home.

At first, I thought that I was asexual, since I didn't want to get into a relationship. However, I found that I was actually quite the lustful summbitch that just didn't want to get into a commited relationship.

Hard to describe, you just sort of...do. I mean, you're either attracted to guys or you're not.
