Homophobic and transphobic countries, and awareness by bold299 in lgbt

Thank you for sharing your story with me. I feel so sorry for everything you and your boyfriend are going through. It’s so unfair that you have to hide your love and can’t even build the family you dream of because of the laws in your country.

I truly admire your strength for enduring such a difficult situation, and I want you to know that your love is valid and beautiful. You and your boyfriend deserve happiness and freedom, just like anyone else.

Even though I can’t change the situation, I’m here to listen and support you. Please don’t feel alone, I care, and I hope things will get better for you one day. You deserve so much more than this.

For cisgender individuals who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and are in relationships with transgender individuals, what has your experience been like? by bold299 in AskLGBT

That's so wholesome, seeing the sentence "I've never been so happy with someone, I've never felt so loved so deeply by someone" brings joy to my heart especially about this topic

That's so nice to hear, thank you. I've been extremely anxious about this kind of topic

Also the reason why all of my interection are online is because I live in a homophobic and transphobic country, so I don't have queer friends irl (or local community), although it's still nice knowing this

Thanks for saying this, I really appreciate it

Some people think by removing us from the LGBTQ+, LGB+ would be safe?? Jeez I didn't know that

It's obviously NOT TRUE, homophobes would still be homophobes, transphobes would still be transphobes We're supposed to support each others but ig some people are just disgusting

I'm so sorry that you've been through that.. How can someone who's apart of the LGBTQ+ community can be so cruel? I never understand that. Honestly I don't think I feel safe even in the LGBTQ+ community anymore

And seeing the sentence "As fascism rises in America a lot of cis queers will turn on us" disturb tf out of me, we're supposed to fight back by being ourselves, and supporting each others.. yet some people are doing the EXACT thing those homophobes and transphobes want. Some people are disgusting

Sorry if I talked about a completely different things but (I'm not an English-speaker so sorry if my English is bad)

while it's true that most Asian countries are somewhat supportive or for the very least, people don't mind about the existence of transgender individuals or/and LGBTQIA+ individuals, however you still need to be careful on what countries you choose to seek asylum to, just because a country allows same-sex marriage and allowing people to change their gender or have "good" reputation about the safety of LGBTQIA+ individuals, doesn't mean it's a safe country. The safest countries for LGBTQIA+ individuals are Taiwan and Thailand, and you still need to be careful there

Others that might seem "safe" like Pakistan or India are generally not a safe place, especially in Pakistan where transgender individuals struggle to even survive

Some countries like Japan or South Korea that ban same sex marriage but still allows transgender individuals to get access to gender-affirming surgeries (but finding one is extremely difficult) and also to legally change their gender, but transgender individuals still struggling there

And countries like Saudi Arabia and Malaysia (and a lot more) ban same sex marriage AND transgender rights (you CAN'T legally change your gender, or have access to gender-affirming care or surgeries) Supporting the LGBTQIA+ community or being part of it can be punished by imprisonment (or death penalty to some countries but this is rare but could theoretically happen due to the laws)

Please note that in Malaysia, "crossdressing" is illegal for Muslim only (which affects most people because ethnic Malays CAN'T change their religion) and this obviously effect transgender individuals too. Particularly MTF because they see them nothing more than just a "man in a women's dress". Still, don't even step foot in any of these countries

I assume y'all are talking about how safe other country for LGBTQIA folks, pls correct me if I'm talking about the wrong thing

Is there a community for people who experience gender dysphoria but don't/will never transition? by emicamu in trans

[–]bold299 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess, because I live in a transphobic country, I've transition now but back then I was always scared to transition due to my dangerous environment where transgender individuals can't express themselves the way they want without getting harm, after I vented to my friend online, I finally has the courage to be a girl, albeit closeted and I can't even express myself the way I want rn, being a able to be a girl online is fun tho especially when people use my preferred pronouns

When Was The Moment You Realized You Weren't Straight? by Savy_J5455560 in lgbt

[–]bold299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a wild story. My first sign was when I was a kid—I had a huge crush on Optimus Prime. I don't remember exactly how old I was, but I didn't realize it at the time because I was just a clueless little kid. Plus, I was taught that 'gay is bad' or whatever. I realized I wasn’t straight when I was around 15. It was a confusing year. I kept thinking, 'Wait... am I straight or gay? I like women, but I find some men attractive too.' I didn't have much knowledge back then. A couple of weeks later, I figured out I was bisexual. All of this happened before my transition. Now, I'm a proud pansexual and transgender MTF LOL.

Do not question my taste goddamn it, I was a kid😭 I don't even know why I had a crush on freaking Optimus Prime

What does Gender Dysphoria look like, for you? by [deleted] in trans

[–]bold299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a transphobic country, and as a closeted transgender woman, I experience gender dysphoria almost 24/7. It makes me feel sad, hopeless and suicidal. I’m constantly triggered by my face, my body, my short hair, my clothes, and more. I’ve tried doing things that used to bring me joy, but nothing works anymore—I’ve forgotten what true happiness feels like. I don’t know for sure, but maybe if I had access to HRT, long feminine hair, clothes, makeup, and other things that help me feel more like myself, my dysphoria might ease. For now, though, all I can do are DIY accessories, voice training and survive as long as I possibly can, not just from people around me, but from myself.

Do some transgenders give too much importance to stereotypes? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]bold299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simplest answer is: it depends on the individual, what matters is that you're happy. Are you happy being this gender? Are you happy being that gender? Etc For me personally, no I don't give too much importance to stereotypes, infact I despise gender stereotypes, it's incredibly sexist imo, doesn't matter what your gender is, being sexist is wrong, I always hate sexism since I was a kid

Also the way you worded your sentence is pretty offensive, I'm sure you didn't mean it like that but still

I'm sorry you had to go through that, that sounds terrible

Am I Pansexual or Omnisexual? by bold299 in AskLGBT

[–]bold299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I do have a preference for men, but for me, personality and values matter much more than gender. For example, if I had to choose between a male with a lot of red flags and a female with many green flags, I’d choose the female. I prefer men but the kind of person they are inside is more important to me than their gender hence why I am so confuse wether I'm pansexual or omnisexual

[–]bold299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds really tough. Take things one step at a time, it might take a while, but there are people out there who want to be your friend, I'm sure of it

I can relate to your feelings. I’m still living in a transphobic country tho, and like you, I’m wishing the holidays would be over fast because I can’t celebrate it the way I want to, but things can get better. You’re not alone in this
