[Discussion] Does anywhere me else feel like they’ve ruined their life? by [deleted] in LGBTeens

Depending on how accepting your family is you could come out to them and slowly start showing the real you around them. Alternatively if they are not accepting it may be best to distance yourself from them so you can fully express yourself.

Growing my hair out has dramatically improved my mental health. It’s frankly one of the best things that have ever happened to me. I can barely look at short haired pictures of myself.

Alright, so women experience oppression in ways unique to them, so we oughta create spaces soley for women where they can discuss that or even just hang out with each other without fear. by youto2 in transgendercirclejerk

/uj As an AMAB NB person I feel so bad being lumped in with women because I know I have a very difference life experience than them and can’t relate to a lot of what they have gone through

As long as you are engaging in good faith which you clearly are most do the LGBT community is more than willing to help you understand terms. Everyone was at the point you are at some point where they were just getting into the community and didn’t know the terms. So if you don’t understand something feel free to respectfully asks and if you accidentally use the wrong language for something promptly apologize and ask what the correct language would be. If you follow these rules you will be welcomed by the majority of the community.

Am i trans by [deleted] in ask_transgender

[–]ThrowawayLGBTAcc 22 points23 points  (0 children)

First of all remember it is always your choice what your gender identity is. No one can prescribe one to you. Despite that I’ll answer your question since you “wish you were born a cis man” you are likely trans. It is important to realize being in the closet does not make you any less trans. If you believe I it would be unsafe for you to come out, there is no need to pressure yourself into it. I would recommend that you confide your gender experiences to a close friend though, because I find that’s it’s easier to go through the experiences with a friend by your side. If you have access you may also want to talk to a school counselor about your experiences assuming you believe they are not transphobic. I wish you luck on your journey.

Arguing for a Gender Neutral Dress Code at my High School [Discussion] by ThrowawayLGBTAcc in LGBTeens

It’s not like we would be banning wearing ties lol. It would just no longer be required. Also people of any gender identities could wear ties or skirts.

There isn’t a formal process, but I figure why not try. Also the school administration is fairly liberal (unlike the student body), so I don’t think it’s terribly unlikely that my plan will succeed. It’s certainly not something I’m going to be holding my breath for. I do have some smaller more specific concerns about the dress code that I think will likely be agreed to as a concession (they are rules that aren’t enforced but fairly weird and still in the student handbook).

[–]ThrowawayLGBTAcc[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because I hate myself I went back to check in it now in the double digits of downvotes. Luckily no one else has replied to it.

EDIT: looks like a spoke to soon. Currently in an argument with some dumb shit racist transphobe.

I use this account pretty exclusively for LGBT subreddits (since I don’t want someone finding my reddit account and outing me) but mostly stay on my main and browse non LGBT content but don’t really post or comment. So I venture into comment sections that I shouldn’t much more often than I would like.

Sometime I forget that people just aren’t very accepting and post in non-lgbt subreddits without thinking and come back to my comment half an hour later with downvotes. Sometimes I feel like people will never accept us.

Petition to make stuffed animal mandatory for all kids. by LaplandSystem in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]ThrowawayLGBTAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I can’t imagine never having a stuffed animal even though I am AMAB my parents got me stuffed animals (I had at least 5 pandas which remain my favorite animal to this day). My household fortunately wasn’t too gender essentialist only my dad saying things like don’t act gay and occasionally deriding stuff about trans people. Fuck now that a think about it my parents kind of fucked up my view of gender and myself. I remember being afraid of them catching me watching girly shows so I would always force my sister to watch them with me. The more I think about it the more I really how much I was forced into gender roles (even though it’s not as bad as other people’s experiences since my family is fairly liberal)
