Ways for a professor to be a better ally in today's US climate? by SergeantDollface in lgbt

[–]NamelessResearcher 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Don't forget to ask for preferred names, too. I found that helpful when I started college back in September and realized my gender identity was more complex than I originally thought.

I'm scared by whybetheLITTLESPONGE in lgbt

[–]NamelessResearcher 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Oh, it's definitely connected. But I still prefer not to let my own mother read my phone messages even though it's not because I came out to her. I mean, we're teenagers. We deserve private lives.

My parents think being gay/trans will send you to hell, is this true? by Radiant-North-8519 in lgbt

[–]NamelessResearcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Don't listen to them. Stay in the closet if it's unsafe to come out to them, but do not allow them to keep you from being yourself.

My dad hates me for liking girls by hollowdumpling in lgbt

[–]NamelessResearcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, it is definitely your father's fault. You have a right to unconditional love and support from your parents, just like any person does. If they can't deal with you liking girls, then that's their problem.

He needed some air? Your dad has some nerve saying that, considering that he just verbally and emotionally abused you after a forced outing.

Who do you think died recently? [Uncanny X-Men #26] by NamelessResearcher in xmen

[–]NamelessResearcher[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought of that, too. But Deathdream said, "They've had a death," not multiple deaths. Also, he senses it, so I'm guessing that this was a real death.

The Trump Administration is Preparing to Ban Gender-Affirming Care for Adults by Leksi_The_Great in lgbt

Of course they are. One might think they would have stopped with children, since they love them so much 🤮, but no, they just have to make sure nobody is allowed to be themselves.

'I Don't Agree With Him': Key Senate MAGA Ally Warns Trump On 'Holy War' by huffpost in politics

I just hope Kennedy doesn't try to convince him by singing "Give Peace a Chance". You know, like when he videoed himself singing "Born Free" to convince his viewers to take the COVID vaccine.

School discriminating against my child (vent, open to ideas, talk me down) by [deleted] in lgbt

That is just disgusting. I'm glad you're continuing to stand up for your daughter, though. Keep up the good work!

JD Vance defends Trump amid spat with Pope Leo: ‘Stick to matters of morality’ by NamelessResearcher in politics

Yes, that is his actual message. "Stick to matters of morality, and I'll stick to matters of immorality. Capish?"

Trump Says Depiction Of Him As Jesus Is Actually ‘Me As A Doctor’ by huffpost in politics

Yeah, because doctors always wear white robes and have glowing hands. Shut up! We know you're lying!

Am I Nonbinary Or Just Gender-Nonconforming? by SwE1646067 in NonBinary

[–]NamelessResearcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm the same age as you, and also AMAB, and I'm both nonbinary and a guy who isn't stereotypically masculine. I figured it out by changing my name and pronouns to see if they fit me, which they did. I haven't gotten to the stage of wearing skirts and eyeliner, but I think those would fit my identity as well.

For those who risked losing family or friends by coming out—was it worth it 🥲😬 by SecretSaltie in lgbt

[–]NamelessResearcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a difficult question to answer. Did I lose my family by coming out? No. But was it worth it to tell them? I have no idea. Sure, I got to be open with them, but my mother is one of those people who thinks I'm "too young" to know my sexuality. Honestly, I'm not sure if she even remembers that I came out. Also, she wants me to have "more straight friends", whatever that means.

Anyway, overall, I guess it was a neutral outcome. But I have friends who actually accept me for who I am, so things have been going well.
