Before a month or so ago, I had only come out to two people: my current partner, a trans woman, and my ex, a super transphobic, homophobic, self-loathing cis man. Dealing with abuse from the latter...

At this point in my life, if I was not with my partner, I'd tell them upfront. Yes, there is risk in that, but there is also risk (perhaps even more risk) in waiting to tell them later. They might...

I don't engage in female bashing. None of the men I hang around do that; I despise those types of men. I experienced (and still experience, sometimes) discrimination on the basis of the assumed...

For as long as I can remember, I've felt male. It's just taken a considerable number of years to cope and really realize this.

Not saying I've seen this here, but it pisses me off when trans women ask me why the hell I want to chop off my breasts, etc.; they see it as "such a waste." That's usually when I face palm or...

No kids know about me, but one time last semester a gay couple's little daughter (thinking 3 or 4) kept on labeling me a boy at Ross. They seemed a little embarrassed about that and wheeled their...

Why not? I'm an FtM dating an MtF. I don't really care so much about gender identity, gender expression, etc. A person's mind and personality are soooooooooooooooooo much more important to me than...

Aww, that's sad. It's amazing how people can be rude about seemingly trivial things such as height.

TBH height doesn't matter much to me, although because of my ex I tend to get pretty wary around...

I am 5'2" and have ceased to give a rat's ass. It's not gunna change. Of course, it makes me feel better knowing all the men on my mother's side off the family were under 5'5", most around 5'2".

I was under the impression that was because LGB generally wants little to do with us unless they need supporters for their own selective interests, i.e. they only care about T if they can use them as...

Well, my girlfriend happens to know I'm FtM, considering the only time I feel comfortable in guymode is around her and we've known each other for almost seven years.

The one other person I told,...

I see a lot of girls wearing pants but most of the girls I see out actually crossdressing (i.e. actually wearing men's clothing) are either the gamer girl sort, the occasional metalhead or two, or,...

Thornton pretty much summed up my thoughts on this subject. :thumbsup:

Lavender, in my mind, is what I associate with LGBT, not pink. Not saying I'm representative, but I've heard "pink" in reference to gay only a few times ("pink money"), but lavender far more often...

I knew I was bi/pan around the same time I knew my gender identity (around 3 or 4). I just didn't know what either of them were until I was in my tween years. It's not that I had sexual feelings that...

I find Old Spice commercials funny because they're so homoerotic. >.>

Not implying that's a negative thing, but it's something I've certainly noticed about them.

Hi fellow transman! :wave:

Just as an FYI, most places that offer counseling or therapy services offer payment on a sliding scale for individuals who cannot normally afford their services. It's...

Agreed, though I found the story heart warming in the midsts of hearing stories of nothing but transphobia. It's nice that some people in the world understand what it means to be transgender.

Yeah, phalloplasty in the United States can easily run you 100k. That's a lifetime of debt. Might as well go overseas to get that sort of surgery done, if you want it. Still, the results are still...

I finally got a reply from my therapist *squeal*. Will update more later once I actually talk to my therapist formally (and less ethically sketchy) about it.

PARTAY! :drink:

Congrats

I know at the very least I need to discuss it with my academic advisor but as I've stated I have no idea if I'll be able to change my ID and campus e-mail to a preferred name. At least my campus ID...

I know I'm really not supposed to double post but after giving it much thought, I contacted my old therapist (through, well, email, which I know you're technically *not* supposed to do) and told him...

That reminds me, there are only two gender neutral/unisex bathrooms on the entire campus.

!@#$. Fack.

Thing is, I don't have the questions beyond stuff that is probably strictly university to...

Eh, I'm in the Bible Belt and in the past this university has been pretty intolerant, but if something happened to me I would like to think that PFLAG and the student LGBTQ org here would pitch a fit...
