Pour récapitulé, je regardait la saison 3 avec mon frère et dedans il y avait cette magnifique femme que je pourrais marier 🤣

Et a chaque fois que mon frère parlait d'elle il disait "il", a chaque fois !!!

Et je le reprenait a chaque fois et il me disait que j'etait chiante de le reprendre

Je trouve pas, enfin, je trouve ça un peu transphobe d'insister sur son ancien genre, non ?

For background, my family moved from the south to upstate New York because I'm a trans woman. The state laws are fantastic but culturally it's *very* conservative here. Both of my kids are cis but for some reason everyone here always calls my youngest son a girl; doctors, teachers, etc. He hates it, especially because he looks and dresses no different than any other boy. His hair is a little longer but not outside the norm of other boys at his school. Picture a 90s grunge kid.

Earlier this week he was having trouble creating a hall pass for the boy's bathroom on their class computer. His teacher helped him but stopped my son from selecting the boy's bathroom as the destination. So my son told the teacher he's a boy. The teacher told him "but biologically you're not" in front of other kids and made him select the girl's bathroom.

The state laws are extremely clear on this that even if he were trans he can use whichever bathroom. And there's NEVER a reason to suggest anything about my kid's genitals!Today my wife and I spoke with one of the principals. Apparently the teacher had already approached him about the situation and said he didn't realize my son identified as a boy. From the conversation it was clear they both still think he's trans in some way, even after we repeatedly said he's not. If it had just been another misgendering that would be one thing, but the teacher violated the law, was being a bigot, and did it publicly. Now my son doesn't feel safe going to that class.

I'm so freaking upset by this. The bigots that "are just trying to protect children" and "can always tell" are absolute morons. I wish I was shocked by the administrator minimizing this to two queer women but I'm not. I'm not a litigious person but this is probably going to change that. Fuck these transphobic jackasses.

Edit to answer some common comments:

• As of right now I have no reason to believe that me being trans has any weight in the matter. Yes the school can piece it together with the paperwork I've submitted but I haven't gotten the sense anyone has or would want to. We're a gay couple but fly way below anyone's radar. As I've said, this is a consistent problem with adults around here and I really don't get clocked. It seems like a genuine case of "I thought this cis person was trans" which is far from rare.

• The media is a last resort. It's still a small, predominantly conservative area. While I've had good experiences as an actual trans person, attracting local (and potentially higher) attention on my family is the last thing I want. We only want to stop this from happening to another kid, queer or not.

Second edit just to say how appreciative I am of all the support. I can't respond to this many messages but I've read them. Thank you all. 🩷

Edit 3: I didn't go into it initially but yes, we're going to bat for our kid here. It's been raised to the district level. We're very aware of our legal routes. I'm involved in a lot of community groups and have all the phone numbers. I appreciate all the support and advice.

Just thought I'd make this after an event at work

(Transphobic coworker yapping about trans customer)

Hey gals! I'm CIS but I just thought I'd say that I consider you guys one of us, we gals protect eachother, and you are a gal just like me.

Some girls will not accept you, and that's okay, just know that they are the kind of people that aren't nice to anyone, Cis, trans or otherwise, not just you. It's a sign of their character, not yours.

You are just as valid as me, and there will always be allies here for you

Okay thats it, have a great day!

Yeah life sucks right now. I got outed as trans masc/non binary and pan to my extremely conservative, abusive and narcissistic mother by my so called best friend.

I'm crushed and I feel betrayed, we've been friends since literally the womb. She herself is bi so I don't even know why she'd out me knowing the way my mom is. I always knew I was queer before I even had the language to describe it. I live in an extremely homophobic country where being gay is illegal, being trans (classified as cross dressing under the law) is also illegal and I go to a highly Christian school.

I just don't understand why she did that. I've deal that with depression since I started getting gender dysphoria at eight but my mom doesn't believe in mental health struggles. She just thinks I'm being dramatic and laughed in my face when I tried to open up in the past. I've had ups and downs with depressive episodes, I had an ED and struggle with self harm. She told my mom everything. I guess I can understand maybe it was out of concern because I finally got to courage to talk about being suicidal but it only made things 100 times worse.

My mom took my door, my phone (I'm using my school laptop to type this), my switch, and all my "boy" clothes. She didn't even yell or hit me, just looked disgusted and told me she couldnt believe she was harbouring a child of Satan in her house. And yeah she signed me up for conversion therapy at an organization she wouldn't tell me the name off. I didn't know those places still even existed. She signed me up for the three month programme and apparently I should be grateful because "she wants the best for me", "it will help be get closer to God" and other bs. I cannot call CPS or the police because child services and protective laws don't do shit in my country. I don't want to spend Christmas and new years in a place like that, I don't want to live somewhere else, I don't want to be brainwashed, I don't want to disappear on all my online friends and community, I don't want to miss so much school because I'm in an examination year. Nothing I can say is gonna change her mind, once my mom believes something nothing can make her falter. I've already tried to cry and beg.

I had cheese pancakes and she had ham and cheese 🧀

My gf is in the last picture (41yo)

It was this gay dude that caused a lotta commotion on Tik tok basically saying that he was “disgusted” about the type of men that approached and dm’d him. He said that people should be aware of their league and not try to shoot their shot at folks “more attractive” than them. Personally I thought his take was rather mean and shallow. You can reject people without being cruel about it. Who knows how much confidence it took for that guy to hit you up? if he’s not your type just politely reject and move on. The whole “league thing” can be subjective because you never truly know who may be into you. And btw ive seen TONS of relationships where one (IMO) is a lot more attractive than the other, so you never really know who maybe into you for real!!!💯

Honestly, I don’t think I fully understood how much freedom there was in simply being myself until I stopped hiding that part of me.
There’s something beautiful about not having to pretend, censor yourself, or imagine a version of your life where you’re someone else.
I get to love who I love and live my life on my own terms. And even though life isn’t suddenly perfect, there’s a kind of peace in not being at war with yourself.
If I could go back, I’d choose myself all over again. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Heya everyone!

A few days ago, I made a post about questioning my gender identity and sexuality because I was pretty confused about myself

Well, I have a little update!

After a lot of thinking, reading and talking with some friends, I finally found a label that feels right to me

I'm a gay demiboy!

I can't even describe how happy I am right now. When I first read about what being a demiboy means, I actually started tearing up because it finally felt like something clicked

I don't feel entirely like a man, but I love being seen as a boy, using he/him pronouns and still being able to express myself in an androgynous way

And finally being comfortable calling myself gay feels amazing too!

Now, there's another thing I've been thinking about.

As I mentioned in my previous post, my chest is pretty much the only part of my body that causes me dysphoria. I eventually want top surgery, but for now I'm planning to buy my first binder

I've heard gc2b recommended quite a lot, but I've also seen some mixed opinions about their newer products.

So I wanted to ask those of you who have experience with binders:

Do you have any recommendations for someone buying their first one? Especially brands that are comfortable, safe and available in Europe or ship to Switzerland?

I'd love to hear about your experiences!

And honestly, I also just wanted to share my happiness. After feeling confused about myself for so long, finally finding something that fits is an incredible feeling

CW MENTIONS OF ABUSE, TRANSPHOBIA

I'm 20, a university student, and I face daily abuse at home. My mother is threatening to send me to conversion therapy and is already attempting it at home. Her abuse and her efforts to force me to present as female are escalating, and I feel increasingly unsafe. My parents are withholding many of my legal documents to keep me from leaving, and I haven't seen a doctor since I was 6. I cannot have my own money, whatever I make is collected if I’m not careful enough. I have been outed to an unknown number of students in my college, and face  gender-based harassment from fellow members of the LGBT community on-campus. My country has no legal protections based on sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, or sex characteristics (SOGIESC), so I have nowhere to turn locally. 

I have looked for help elsewhere. I would not be writing this if I hadn’t already tried every possible option: homeless shelters, staying at a friend’s house, asking my college for financial forgiveness in terms of dorming, working (online and in real life), asking family members for help, filing harrassment reports, therapists, helplines, counselors, scholarship opportunities; it has all given me nothing, and time is running out. I worry every day for my own safety and future. Has anyone faced anything similar to this, and if so, how fid you get out of it? Should I give up on my academic life to survive?

If you could choose 4 people to represent the history, culture, activism, education, and community of bisexuality, who would make your Bisexual Mount Rushmore?

Your choices can include anyone who identifies as bisexual or bi+, has contributed to bisexual history or culture, or has made a meaningful impact on bisexual representation, visibility, education, advocacy, or activism. They can be historical figures, community organizers, activists, authors, artists, musicians, celebrities, researchers, or fictional characters from movies, television shows, books, comics, and video games. They can be widely recognized figures or people whose contributions deserve much more attention.

There are no restrictions based on gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, generation, background, or level of fame. Your choices can reflect historical contributions, cultural influence, community building, personal inspiration, or what bisexuality means to you.

My Bisexual Mount Rushmore would be Brenda Howard, Lani Kaʻahumanu, Robyn Ochs, and Michael Page.

Each represents something essential to bisexual history, community building, education, activism, and our ability to define ourselves on our own terms.

1. Brenda Howard: Organizing and Pride History

Known as the "Mother of Pride," Brenda Howard was a bisexual activist whose organizing helped establish the early Pride commemorations following the Stonewall uprising. Her contributions remind us that bisexual people were not simply spectators in LGBTQ+ history. We helped organize, build, and sustain the movement. Her legacy deserves recognition beyond the occasional historical acknowledgment.

1. Lani Kaʻahumanu: Political Voice and Self Determination

Lani Kaʻahumanu was a pioneering bisexual feminist, author, and activist who challenged bisexual erasure within feminist, lesbian, gay, and broader LGBTQ+ movements. As co-editor of Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out, she helped create space for bisexual people to tell our own stories rather than allowing others to define our identities and experiences. Her work represents the importance of political independence, community organizing, and unapologetic self determination.

1. Robyn Ochs: Education and Understanding

Robyn Ochs is a bisexual activist, educator, author, and speaker whose work has helped generations understand bisexuality beyond stereotypes and restrictive definitions. Her widely cited understanding of bisexuality recognizes the potential for attraction to people of more than 1 gender without requiring that attraction to be equal, simultaneous, or experienced in the same way. Her work demonstrates why language matters, why bisexual education must be accessible, and why our experiences deserve to be understood in their full complexity.

1. Michael Page: Cultural Identity and Visibility

Michael Page created the bisexual pride flag in 1998. His contribution gave bisexual communities a widely recognizable symbol of identity, solidarity, and collective belonging. The flag's pink, purple, and blue have become deeply embedded in bisexual culture worldwide. His legacy reminds us that symbols can matter tremendously, especially when they help people recognize a community that has too often been overlooked.

Why these 4?

My Bisexual Mount Rushmore would not simply celebrate fame, popularity, or who receives the most attention. It would recognize people who helped create something lasting for bisexual communities.

Brenda Howard represents our organizing history. Lani Kaʻahumanu represents our political voice and self determination. Robyn Ochs represents our education and understanding. Michael Page represents our cultural identity and collective visibility.

These are my 4 choices, but bisexual history cannot be reduced to 4 individuals. Countless bisexual activists, writers, artists, organizers, researchers, educators, and everyday community members have contributed to our communities. Many deserve recognition despite never receiving the attention or historical recognition they earned.

For me, the most important question is not simply who made bisexuality more visible. It is who helped make bisexual communities stronger, more knowledgeable, more organized, and better equipped to determine our own futures.

Now I want to hear from you.

Who would be on YOUR Bisexual Mount Rushmore, and why?

Would you choose historical activists, contemporary educators, musicians, actors, authors, fictional characters, community organizers, or people whose contributions are rarely discussed? Would your choices reflect bisexual history, political activism, cultural influence, representation, education, or personal meaning?

You do not have to agree with my 4 choices. I want to know who you would choose and what makes their contributions important to you.

Let's recognize the people who have helped shape bisexual history, culture, and community, including the people who deserve far more recognition than they currently receive.

Yeah, the title says it all really. For awhile now, I know I’ve been into guys, but recently I’ve started thinking a bit more about women and idk. How do I explore that sort of stuff?

The main reason I’m confused about it is because it’s rather sudden. I think it might have to do with some stuff I’ve internalized about being gay, but idk. How do I know if this is because I have a genuine interest in women or not?

I'm 21, and he's 26, and I need some help. How do I talk to someone who's a bit of a dry texter and barely asks how my day was or what I'm doing at the moment? I'm aware that we don't have to text all the time because we both have our own lives and need our personal space. I guess I just need some reassurance and advice. Am I wrong for having high expectations, like wanting him to initiate conversations first sometimes? This is my first time trying a dating app, and he's the first guy I've met through one. I've always been a private person when it comes to my dating life, and I've never really put myself out there. I never really cared much about dating before because, even though some guys asked me out back in high school, I politely declined because I wasn't interested at the time. This is all new to me. I just want to know if what I'm feeling is normal and if there's anything I should keep in mind as I navigate this new experience.
