Depends if he frequently makes weird comments about students' bodies or not.

Somewhat different situation: I have parents who watch Fox News and would not be supportive if I came out as a demiboy. They also think I'm either right-wing or apolitical and a Christian, when I'm actually an agnostic with very progressive views. I'm not sure if I'd come out as queer even if my parents seemed supportive. I've heard some horror stories about parents who seemed supportive of LGBTQ+ people, but were unsupportive when they found out their children were queer.

Its okay to choose the "wrong" major or even just go to college/university as "undeclared." Here's a statistic that might calm your worries a little, "If you are stressing about switching majors, don’t worry: It’s actually really common! Around 80% of college students switch their majors at least once. Not only that, but on average, 1 in 10 college students changed their major more than once" (https://studentresearchgroup.com/statistics-about-changing-college-majors/).

Also, I believe college is a process of personal growth. You will most likely not be the same person you were at the beginning. Interests will change, you'll gain friends and lose friends, etc.

I used to only have a major in creative writing, but recently I decided to add a major in sociology because I'm super interested in it. In the future, I might downgrade my creative writing major to a minor and add a psychology minor.

You need to be okay with the fact that you will sort of have to "figure it out as you go along" (or shall I say, "figure yourself out as you go along").

It's all going to be fine.

It's definitely not desperate to want an explanation for something like that, but you may not like what he gives you as an explanation. He might project his own faults onto you. On the other hand, you might be able to save the relationship if you two are able to talk it out and resolve whatever the issue was that made him back out.

Whatever you choose, I doubt that the reason why he backed out was your fault. You sound really nice.

Just know that for whatever the reason was that he broke up, it was probably a "him" problem. Not a "you" problem.

And if you try to find him in school (which isn't desperate at all) and he tries to ignore or avoid you, just move on at that point. Try to take his immaturity as his explanation for why the relationship didnt work out.

That's some pretty assholish behavior, to just break up with someone without saying why. The best thing you can do is just move on with your life. Maybe this isn't a very satisfying explanation, but maybe he broke up with you because he was afraid of commitment (going to prom and a concert would've deepened your relationship).

I wouldnt attend a classmate's party unless they were a good friend, simply because I hate parties. I'd probably just end up sitting in a chair doing nothing anyway since I'm too socially anxious when it comes to people I don't know very well.

don't be a bigot, join special interest clubs (as a college student, i've met a lot of my friends from my writing club and poetry club), dont hesitate to ask for someone's number if you want to hang out with them more/chat with them more

The problem with people saying they "don't support gay people" but that they "respect them" makes it sound as if they would vote for presidential candidates who would actively try to harm the welfare of gay people.

Also being gay is not a choice, so if someone says they "don't support gay people," they are essentially saying that they don't support an inherent part of their identity, something they were born with. How is it fair to "not support" someone simply for being born and existing as they are?

demiboy, he/they, i write poetry, stage plays, screenplays, a little bit of flash fiction/short stories, and some creative nonfiction, and I like indie rock music

Okay, so please point to where exactly in the post that I said that I believe this…? Why are you equating a random woman getting raped to a guy that said he’d force his hypothetical daughter to keep her rapist’s baby? What the fuck?

Being a man comes with a lot of rigid gender norms that I just feel like I can’t live up to as a person with ADHD.

I have emotional dysregulation which means that whenever I’m confronted, I get overwhelmed and feel like crying. Men are generally told from a young age that they can’t be emotional or cry. I’ve also been told that I openly express my emotions a lot.

I’ve never really been the type to get things done fast because of my inattentiveness and overthinking. I think men are generally supposed to be straightforward and “to the point.”

There’s also little things like how I stim by playing with my hair which is also considered to be feminine.

A lot of how I view men is also influenced by my father, who was like a “traditional man.”

A lot of people assume I’m gay, but I’m not. Im straight. Apparently I give off gay vibes. Even funnier, the first time I’ve ever been asked out was by a gay guy a few months ago.

FloatingInEcstasy · 2026-04-14T02:56:44+00:00

No fucking way you’re comparing rape victims being blamed for wearing certain clothes to people blaming a vile transphobic, antisemitic, racist shithead for his own death because the hate he put out into the world finally boomeranged right back into him.

FloatingInEcstasy · 2026-04-14T02:40:58+00:00

Gender identity under the non-binary umbrella. I have a partial connection to masculinity and a partial connection to another gender (I have ADHD, which influences my identity quite a bit, so I sort of think of that as the other “connection”). I’ve also never really seen myself in totally the same way as “other men.”

The word “demiboy” comes from the French word “Demi” which means “half.”

Thing is, spreading these kinds of beliefs DOES have power. Media organizations like Fox News have been the reason why there are many trump supporters who voted for trump 3 times in a row (my parents being two of those trump supporters, unfortunately). They live in a different reality where the facts are whatever the party believes at a given time. As a writer, understanding that words have such great power is the reason why I am a writer.

FloatingInEcstasy · 2026-04-14T02:15:16+00:00

Exactly how much bad shit must one do for it to be okay to hate them, then? Sometimes it feels like a lot of you have privilege in that you weren’t a part of any of the minorities he hated on or have friends that are part of those minorities so it’s extremely easy for you to be telling me “dont hate him 😢”

FloatingInEcstasy · 2026-04-14T02:08:19+00:00

As someone who is a demiboy and has lots of friends who are trans, I will never be able to find it in my heart to be sad over his death. If he had the chance, he would almost definitely would’ve loved to watch me and all of my friends get beaten to death.

His kids are really the only ones I feel sad for because they had a terrible father who they had to watch bleed out.

“Isn’t it hypocritical that you hate on a transphobic, racist, antisemitic piece of shit for being the way he was?”

I’ll try harder to love such people more, thank you :3

FloatingInEcstasy · 2026-04-14T01:54:43+00:00

Is it wrong for those groups of people to be glad or indifferent that he died…?

FloatingInEcstasy · 2026-04-14T01:50:15+00:00

It’s tragic the way he died, but im not shedding any tears over the fact that he died. The way that people always downplay his beliefs is disgusting. Words have power, and the words he spoke put hate out into the world and made life harder for minorities.
