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

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

I prefer the female body over the male body. However, a feminine looking male body is more attractive than both to me. >.>

This is relevant, somehow.

Again, Hideyoshi from Baka And Test. He fits the "feminine-looking male body" thing. To a ridiculous extent.

...sorry if this is abrupt, but what was coming out like for you?

Mother thought me realizing I was bisexual had to do with CA (my thought was "jeez, even my mother's doing it now!"), and grandma thought it was confusing for me, to which I replied it wasn't and it just came naturally.

Atticus, I... I'll, ah... I'll be in my bunk...

[up]Mine was... odd, I suppose. I wouldn't say I was nervous to do it, just that I wanted the timing to be right. I sort of wanted it to be immutable, because I anticipated getting questions along the lines of 'are you sure?'. And while I did get one of those, the response has most generally been a simple recognition of it from most parties. So even though I didn't make a big deal of it, I made a bigger deal of it than was necessary... somehow.

I haven't come out to anyone and don't really plan to. dating isn't a big thing in my life right now and my family doesn't need to be kept informed of who I prefer.

On another subject, can I have that avatar, Anonymous User? :D

My goodness, kegisak! What happens if you come face to face with, say, curvy pipe cleaners?

Squiggly drinking straws?

Sidewinder snakes?

How telling my parents went:

My dad was like "Mmmkay. Cool. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" And we had an interesting discussion on how it takes some people longer to realize their sexuality. We then wondered what the odds were of him having 2 out of 2 kids be gay.

My Mom freaked a little and refused to talk the rest of the night. The next day she sent me a reassuring note in my lunch and we've been just dandy ever since.

So, did you guys find that coming out was an important experience, or did it not matter much?

I have sent it over, Enkufka.

I don't think either of the family members I've come out to have changed their thoughts on me with this information, or at least it doesn't come up often. I was kind of nervous, though.

Mine didn't matter much aside from being super awkward.

"Coming out" has always seemed like a strange thing to do, in my humble and correct opinion. The only person that would need to know is my girlfriend. I'm not ashamed of it or anything, but it just seems kind of silly. But what do I know. (I've talked about this before, haven't I)

I think it was a pretty important experience. Something that I certainly needed to do.

And I've come out to enough people by now that it's just a little bit easier.

...Only a little, though.

Coming out helped a lot for me. When I was closeted about being transgendered, I was worried and anxious and that coupled with, well, being transgendered in the first place was not a very happy time in my life.

1. I'M IN A DRESS, FUCK YEAH

2. Coming out was a very important step for me. It felt like I no longer had to try and hide a very important part of who I am, and that took a lot of weight off my shoulders. It also means I can discuss my feelings openly with my family, which is the whole reason I am able to wear a dress right now.

Noice!

I'm not planning on coming out in the near future. I'm not ready for sex, which means being a bisexual heteroromantic doesn't really matter at this point, and in any case, sex is kind of a lot more private to me than dating. If I become biromantic at some point I'll probably come out, I doubt anyone would care.

Also, on the topic of a few pages back: I like boobies.

I guess it wasn't such a big deal to me because I was lucky and never felt a lot of angst about it. All in all most people I know are supportive or apathetic.

Well excuuuuuuse me, Princess!
