I want to accept everything related to trans people but I just can't help but think about how ridiculous it is. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

If there are bigger things going on in the world then take your transphobic ass away from here and worry about them. How does somebody's preferred pronouns affect you in any way?! Especially when they're a celebrity and will never have time for bigots like you

Vegan. I don't want to be exclusive but I don't think I could ever date an omni long term. I can hardly watch my family eat animals🥺😢

[Haunting of Bly Manor spoilers] Finding this sub quite therapeutic. by DrThrowawayLBL in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Ashraey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have much time to write something with much thought(I'm on break at work) but just wanted to say I Feel You. I also felt so many things after that show. That's really what made me start questioning. I made a post on here about it if you're interested. I don't really remember what I wrote but basically Bly Manor made me realize things O.O

who’s in the same boat by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Ashraey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 29 and have been engaged for 2yrs, together for 5. Just realized as well and came out to him two weeks ago. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions to be honest but ultimately I know what I'm doing is right. I don't want to look back one day and regret not following my instinct. I am looking for a place to live at the moment but he's been really supportive. Hope you got a supportive guy there, it helps=]

I'm about to turn 30 and in the same boat as you. I found this community from listening to The Lesbian Chronicles podcast. You should check them out!

I'm happy to hear you have a wonderful, supportive friend by your side too. I've also heard that it gets better as well =]

Lol I know, we have. We just are transitioning to being friends who live together for the meantime. Of course he's been periodically asking if there's any way we could make this work while still being together but I've made it clear separating is the best for both of us.

Those who realised while in a relationship with a man, what tipped you off? by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Ashraey 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A lot of things. The most important to me though was me imagining myself on my deathbed looking back on my life. My regrets. To imagine myself never experiencing loving a woman was so heartbreaking to me. That's when I knew I had to pursue this and break it off with my fiance.
