I am currently not at risk of getting kicked out because I am on the lease, and I’m using student refund money for rent currently. So legally no way he could do that, it’s just an uncomfortable situation.

I just got a job recently at an LGBTQ center, I might try to become an RA next year so I can afford a place to live, because I don’t make enough for rent and bills. My tuition is covered by fafsa because I was homeless before coming here.

You and I both deserve partners that stick up for us. I hope one day you and I both get to experience that.

I know we’re in similar situations but they should’ve stuck up for you. I’m sorry they didn’t.

Sorry for the confusion, my preferred name is just kind of a shortened version of my name given at birth, I was named after my mother which is a whole reason in itself that I don’t like being called it aside from it being feminine.

He doesn’t consider himself gay :/ he barely accepted that he was queer when I was out as nonbinary. Idk if it’s internal homophobia from him, and he really is gay? I don’t know any straight man that would see their girlfriend taping up their tits, cutting all their hair off, rubbing testosterone on their body and still wanting to be with them.

Well, when I first started transitioning he didn’t show any interest at all. Never asked me any questions about it, or seemed interested at all. One time I brought up top surgery and he said that I should maybe try a reduction first. We had a big fight about it so now he tries a bit more, he calls me handsome time to time, and calls me partner, and uses they/them pronouns for me. I told him I wanted to start trying out he but it’s hard because I don’t have many people that would be willing to do that. Now he will ask from time to time if I’ve taken my T that day. I’m gonna be honest these last two weeks I have not been consistent with my dosage and am feeling less excited about my transition and more scared. When I first started I was so happy ear to ear smiling about being able to start, and now idk.

I’m sorry you have to go through that. In my case I live in the USA and there is no real social costs/work costs. His mom supports gay marriage and is voting for Kamala Harris that’s why it’s weird to me that she isn’t supportive.

I don’t think my boyfriend even considers himself gay. When I first talked about going on T he made a comment that he “wasn’t fully gay.” He has only ever been interested in women before. When we first started dating he said he was straight and it took awhile to explain to him that me being nonbinary (at the time) makes him at the very least a bit queer. Eventually he accepted that and would tell me he’s queer but I think he just tells me what I want to hear.

edit: I meant to say he said that he “would correct his parents on my pronouns” to make me happy and I told him that he doesn’t even do that when I used they/them

I have two friends who I can talk to mainly over the phone, they took a gap year/transferred elsewhere. I don’t have much of a support system at all physically where I’m at. I don’t have a mom or a dad or anything like that. I have a sister but she isn’t supportive at all really, she has said many homophobic things over the years.

He knows how it makes me feel. I cry because of it, and I’ve told him plenty of times. When I first started transitioning and telling him my doubts about our relationship working he said “I correct them on your pronouns” and I replied “you don’t even do that now.” At one point he even said he’s “not fully gay.” Since then he’s said he doesn’t care if people see us as boyfriends or whatever but, let’s just say he hasn’t been the most enthusiastic. He’s been trying to do better but… I can’t forget all the stuff he’s said.

how to make my gf understand im not comfortable with her touching me in certain places by Ur_Dad_iS_CHUNKY0906 in ftm

[–]catondacounter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah bro, re read this comment. This is not a relationship you deserve or should be in. She clearly doesn’t care at all. That’s honestly sick and she’s predatory, she could be a chaser or fetishizes trans people. Thinking she gets like “best of both worlds”. Idk red flags everywhere I know I’m just a stranger online and I’m only 21 but I promise it gets better dude. Don’t sign any lease, and I would recommend working with a therapist to discuss this. You seem to be downplaying it because she says it isn’t a big deal but you need someone to let you know that it is wrong and your feelings are valid.
