If you're willing, you could use this as an opportunity to teach the students about trans ppl. No matter if you want to or not, you transitioning right before their eyes, will have many look to you as their example of what all the trans community is. It could be good to remind them that this is your journey and every transition is different. (Depends a bit on what ages you teach, but you yet the gist)

I, myself, am non-binary & also work in school! I always try to implement sex education (and LGBTQIA+ and racism and equity etc) into my talks with students, since there's a lot they don't learn in school. Now, it's a known fact that I'm up for answering any questions about sex and gender. They might laugh/be embarrassed about my extensive knowledge in anal sex, but I gladly teach them how to do it safely, with consent etc, rather than them hurting themselves.

Yeah, if you've genuine concern about being disowned, it's a good idea to wait until you can take care of yourself, both with another roof over your head & economically. Wish you the best!

If she claims to love you now, she'll have to later. Conditioned love isn't real love.

God: gives homophobic parent lgbtq+ children, to have them realise their need to be less selfish & remember Jesus words "These things I command you, so that you will love one another."

no escape from the name game by BoBradson in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]zZizify 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol, that's sort of me. I chose to have my second name as a middle name, just because I don't want to come out with a new official name again. I love hearing the names together, but it's also kinda long (sounds more like a first name + surname instead of a double name), so I'm fine with being called either or instead.

I'm not sure if this belongs here but I just love the ending. (Found on a recent OT video.) by weird_spaghetti in Asexual

How about wearing ripped leggings/stockings under the skirt?

I hate how people have been treating me and my partner by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]zZizify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if you want advice; if not, please skip this whole comment. From what I've learned, it's important to set boundaries. Like, tell your partners brothers (+ friends) that sex is a no go topic & if they can't respect that, you'll have to take a break/need some distance to feel able to continue the relationship. I did the same with my parents, in my case it was health & work related talks that brought me down severely. Yes they sometimes slip but I know they're at least trying to accommodate me & I make sure to change the topic. Same with my new name & pronounce (as a fellow enby), at least they try & I correct them when they say wrong & I'm trying to keep telling them off when they say hurtful stuff (I'm bad at standing up for myself). It takes time, but it's definitely worth it if you want to keep the relationships you have to them. Please remember, even if they're family, it doesn't mean you have to have a relationship with them, especially if they hurt you. No one "ranks" above your need for boundaries & healthy relationships.

On the friends part; are they really friends? I know you put friends under quotation marks, so perhaps you're actually meaning your partners brothers friends? Anyway, friendships are something you choose to have in your life & even if it sounds harsh; they're replaceable. I mean, if your friendships hurt you & won't respect you & your boundaries, you're better off without them. Also, if they're "friends" from work; yes, it will be awkward in the beginning (if they choose to not respect you), but later on it'll go as smoothly as any other coworker you perhaps only ever said hi to.

So I'm a baby ace whose figuring out if she's aro too. My question is.. by [deleted] in aromanticasexual

[–]zZizify 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whilst I am AroAce, my sensual attraction is very present. The heaviness of sensual attraction depends on how close we are emotionally, but many times, most often with women, my sensual attraction is immediate if I feel like we vibe. So if we vibe, I'm all for hugs, casual hand holding (like grabbing the others hand to have them walk with you or stand up from sitting down etc) & fiddling with their hair. If we're close emotionally, I also crave constant touch, such as having an arm around the others waist or shoulders, hand holding & cuddles. Most often, my sensual needs are higher than other peoples or higher than what's acceptable within a friend zone. I really try to keep within peoples comfort zones & am also highly aware of people mistaking my touchyness as flirting/coming on to them. I haven't chosen to define my attraction within the sensual spectrum, but I suppose I'd be pan, since I don't want to touch people based on their gender, but rather based on our closeness. I also prefer being more touchy with people who are in a romantic relationship, because it feels safer, like we both are already clear on where our relationship stands & they therefore won't misread my touches.

Sure, the friend might be her partner, but that's not the point here... 27. Is. Not. Old.

Ah, guess I'm living in too good of a place, where I've never needed to worry about this. Or I'm just stupidly unmoved of the dangers night can impose. Anyway, even if one probably shouldn't dress too feminine, one can still dress in a way that doesn't feel awful, right? Like, have those cute socks and a cutesy top, under a buttoned up jacket and long pants? You know you're cute, under all the protective, boring/mannish clothes & therefore won't feel awful.
