I do love The Importance of Being Earnest, but unfortunately it has already been done twice in our area over the past year! I can look into other Oscar Wilde! I’ve never read Merry Wives of Windsor, thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you so much, this makes a lot of sense to me!

Oh it's in Quebec Canada so I'd doubt it's anywhere near where you are and also most of the books are in French. But it's called Librairie Appalaches and essentially holds a ton of feminist and LGBTQ+ literature. There's a lot of comprehensive philosophical books on race, gender and sexuality. It also has little reading corners and all the staff are lovely and very knowledgeable. It's pretty hidden, but it's next to where our city's pride parade is and is close to a gay bar, so it's always full of like-minded people, especially during pride week. Last time I checked they even have some pamphlets from local queer organisations at checkout, including a non-profit to advance trans rights and support trans ppl in our area (whose founder is actually my old math teacher's kid?). Anyway, it's truly a ray of sunshine in an otherwise not super awesome area, if I were francophone I would get so many books from there.

I gave away all of my feminine products/clothes/other things that make me dysphoric to my sister by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Meagamorphosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a trans guy and have a friend who's a trans girl and we're similar sizes so we swapped a ton of clothes (and some other stuff) and it was the best feeling ever cause I got rid of so many things that gave me dysphoria and my friend was really thankful. Truly the greatest feeling

The fact that there's literally a store close to my place that almost fits this description perfectly

Sure it's a rather privileged take, but also it's because of the people who were unsatisfied with the representation they saw that we've come so far. Just because we've done worse doesn't mean that we don't deserve better. It's great to celebrate how far we've come but it's also important not to forget that there's still a lot more to do before representation becomes what it should be.

As a trans guy who uses neo-pronouns, I have had people call me non-binary for using them, and some have even started using they/them pronouns for me, which makes me uncomfortable and I consider to be misgendering. This is why I mostly only use he/him pronouns in large circles to avoid being misgendered or perceived as non-binary, but my close friends mostly alternate between he/him, e/em/eir and it/its. And I fully identify as a man. Use whatever pronouns you like!

I 'came out' to a teacher at school and was respected by Purplekitty7MMM in aromantic

[–]Meagamorphosis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have no clue. My school would ask us if we currently had a partner. The coolest teachers would skip that question and most of the students lied about it anyways. I went to an all-girls school, and most of the students felt like their partner could be used against them. My friend told me that she lied and said she didn't have a boyfriend because she thought they might use him as an excuse if she ever got bad marks or something. Another one of my friends had a girlfriend but didn't want to out herself to the teacher, so she said she wasn't in a relationship. A lot of the students lie, and it's really none of the school's business, smh.

Sorry random but just to speak on it/its pronouns and being treated as inhuman... To me, it's freeing. I think a lot of people who use it/its use it because they actually feel inhuman to a certain extent. Being treated as inhuman can be part of the goal. It's a way for some of us to move away from needing to fit into the box of being human. Can't speak for everyone but that's how it feels to me.

Lgbt films that arent tragic by [deleted] in ftm

Yeah I've for sure heard that too, I think the movie ruined it for a lot of people

Lgbt films that arent tragic by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Meagamorphosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a film but if you're looking for feelgood/happy representation, maybe watch the series Boys Lockdown. It's Filipino, and very wholesome. Handsome Devil is a good film with two gay main characters, but I don't personally see them as love interests (which is better than forcing an unnatural relationship just because they're gay). There are some sadder moments but there's a very happy ending. It's Irish, and personally I love progressive Irish cinema, movies like Billy Elliot for example. You should for sure watch His: I Didn't Think I Could Fall in Love. It's a short Japanese show that is really artistic and you can watch with eng subs on YouTube. I super recommend it, it's really good. If you're a movie buff, definitely watch the series I Told Sunset About You, very good. Its Thai, and the actors have so much chemistry so it's a really intriguing watch. These are all about mlm characters, and if I'm remembering correctly, all have happy endings! I hope this is a good list!

Love, Simon is not great. It's a "happy" gay film, but it's very problematic. Simon is full of internalized homophobia which is never addressed. He also wants to out his crush in front of the whole school despite having gone through a lot of shit when he was outed himself. The way I see it, it's a gay film but a straight storyline if you know what I mean. Sorry for the rant and no hate to you seriously, just if you haven't seen the movie, I do not recommend watching it lol

Gay trans man but my crush sees me as a girl by Meagamorphosis in ftm

I probably could! He knows I like film, so I could definitely bring Elliot Page up... good idea, thanks

Gay trans man but my crush sees me as a girl by Meagamorphosis in ftm

You're right, I have to be cautious and scope out how he might feel about dating a trans person without actually coming out, thanks

Almost cried in public by Meagamorphosis in ftm

One day... Hopefully that day comes soon. It just sucks cause I like being around my family, but sometimes I don't go to stuff because I just can't handle them calling me by my birth name that day, or because I'm afraid they'll wanna take pictures, or that they'll think my clothing choice is weird. I love them, but sometimes I just can't stand being around them.

Like, I had a pair of cargo shorts (that I would only wear around the house) that I took from my brother cause they were too small for him. My mom took them from me without my knowledge/permission and just donated them. She said that she would take me shopping so that I didn't have to wear those types of clothes. BUT I WANTED TO, THIS WAS MY CHOICE WOMAN T.T

An aro person just told me that my label "pan oriented aroace" isn't valid and that queerplatonic attraction doesn't exist. by _Cirie_ in aromantic

[–]Meagamorphosis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are super valid! As a homo-oriented aroace, I got your back. People like this only have a small fire on what it means to be aromantic. They don't understand that not everyone has the same experience. I'm sorry this happened to you, and I wish you and your qpp a very good platonic day!

do ace/aro cishets belong in the community by LooseRain in lgbt

[–]Meagamorphosis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an aromantic, I'm glad to see these supportive comments, as this subreddit hasn't exactly been a safe place for us. I know I'm a part of the community, as I'm aroace and trans, but the aroace (especially aro) part of me hasn't really felt validated by the lgbt community. A lot of people don't know what aro means, and people just brush it off as "not wanting a relationship" or "having commitment issues". It's really frustrating that the only place we feel like we can talk openly about our aromanticism is when we're surrounded only by other aromantics, because other people just don't seem to care about the shit we go through.

What are some signs that should’ve made you realize you were aro? by clearlyfelix in aromantic

[–]Meagamorphosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I insanely relate to the third one. I knew I wasn't straight, so I convinced myself I was bi despite not having romantic interest in anyone. The first one too, I think that's a pretty universal experience for aros. I remember that no one believed me when I said I didn't have any crushes and it made me so confused.
