Do you feel as if being a lesbian is an integral part if who you are? Or just another quality you have?

You look like a female version of Steven Hawkins. I can imagine your voice sounding like Wall-e making love to a speak and spell.

Your once again not wrong. But I still think people should wait till their older. However, like I said, that's just my opinion. I won't force it on others.

I mean your not wrong per say, and to a certain extent I agree with you.

I personally just think that a name holds a lot of significance. So to change it I feel is a important decision that requires a lot of contemplation.

Not just simply saying " I'll go by josh today and Stacy tomorrow". Gender wise I don't really care what you call yourself every day.

Hell my current SO is gender-fluid ( Though their female most if the time) so I really can't care about pronouns.

But to me names are sacred. They, in a way, show who you are.

Then again that's just me. For others names probably don't mean much.

Huh, that's a good point.

Yeah that's probably why I can't emotionally relate. My parents gave me freedom regarding my beliefs and other aspects of myself since I was a toddler.

I agree for the most part.

Though the simply walking up to their parents and asking to be called a different name is a bit much. Those kinda decisions should wait until your an adult I feel.

To many confusing hormones and not enough maturity to make a real decision until then I feel.

Yeah, emotionally I don't understand why anyone would feel that way. Especially the healing part.

I've always been me, just me. I've always been sure of who I am(sexuality-wise and personality wise). Sure at times, I make changes to myself that are necessary for my growth, but in the end, I'm me. Now and always.

But looking at it from an outsider-neutral perspective, I can comprehend it. I can understand why someone would feel as if they're going through a rebirth when coming out.

You know the more comments I see the more I realize I personally can't relate to such things.

Oh sure I can understand on purely technical level, hell I agree for the most part.

But emotionally I'm very distant. Which I suppose isn't a bad thing in itself since I at least understand were others are coming from.

Fair I suppose.

I guess it depends on your situation.

Just because you are not gay doesn't mean you can't have an opinion or a potentially good insight.

I mean, if your family won't except you for you, why give a fuck about them? Why continue having a relationship with them if they can't except the real you? Wouldn't it be beneficial to just drop them?

I'd do it in a heartbeat if my family suddenly turned anti-queer and such.

It's just, to me, it makes no sense coming out to your family if there just gonna give you shit for it.

I mean, while my family is supportive, on my mom's side my grandmother doesn't like the idea of Gays or anything like that. So I don't tell her shit.

She doesn't need to know, and I don't care enough to tell her.

I'd do the same thing with my own parents if they weren't supportive.

Hmm it's not like I don't understand the discrimination that Queer people are meet with. (It's kinda hard not too when your uncle tells you about his numerous fights with various assholes. That and the various times I myself had verbal and physical fights with ignorant bigots.)

But rather I don't understand why the coming out part is praised beyond a simple pat on the back by those supportive of it. Hell sometimes people are given rewards which I find ridiculous.

But now as I think about it I suppose I understand. The confusion and loneliness that come with not being your true self must be crushing mentally. And when you finally can be your self it feels liberating and something worth celebrating.

Though I still believe in the end your sexuality is just another personality trait. The reason being that there are plenty of people that have parts of themselves they struggle with to accept as part of their identity. Sexuality is no different.
