The usual ones everyone else said, and friends and family. I take family for granted because of the financial and food, shelter, and water aspects. Not so much the emotional support aspect.

I take...

XD There're probably other ways to keep a pencil behind your ear, Das, though an ear cuff is probably one of the less dorky solutions. :P

*looks up ear cuff*

Yeah, that would probably be a safer idea. You could try magnetic stuff too, but that sounds like a recipe for frantic backing-searches.

You're kind of missing the point. I think at least most of us are saying that there shouldn't be EITHER sort of "privilege". :P Everyone deserves respect based on the merits of their individual...

Ah, that's nothing strange at all. I sometimes get freaked out when a guy comes onto me, especially if it's a guy I don't know particularly well. There's only been one woman I know who was attracted...

That's great, Felix. Your words not only reflect your confidence and happiness, but give the rest of us some reassurance as well.

Very cool. Hehe, it's always nice when couples do things for each other that they did when they first started dating. Sounds sweet and nostalgic.

Gah, that sucks. Well, if you ever get the chance to come back, be sure to tell us how you're doing.

Whoa, you have a lot of time between exams. :o At any rate, I'm sure you'll do fine. At least for English you can learn from us! :D

...well, maybe not GOOD English, but some kind of English. <_<

Hey, cool! How old was the bartender? I find that it's easiest to pass in front of older men, and hardest to pass in front of older women.

w00t! Yeah, she sounds really cool and understanding. Having a therapist to talk to sounds like a good idea in this situation. Good luck, and tell us how it goes!

w00t w00t, si teh Poc!

Thanks for the advice, guys. It's good to get some other perspectives on these things. I'll make sure to keep you all posted.

w00t w00t! *breaks out the rum*

<_< >_>

Some interesting things happened with my mom over the last few days.

When she came to help me pack up at college, she found my tie and threw it away (I put it back into one of my bags). She then...

Hey, glad to hear things are going a bit better. Welcome back!

I miss Poc as well, with his silliness and... uh... Pocoyosity. He always brightens the mood around here.

Now that I think about it, I have a better hate.

I hate menstruation. Without it I'd probably be able to forget I'm physically female.

I love when people who know me and my birth gender unintentionally refer to to as "he".
I hate societally inflicted gender boxes.
I can take or leave my androgynous body and face. It always makes...

Well yeah, it's not a universal truth. Nevertheless, it is better to err on the side of caution until you get to know people a little better.

Hmm... truth be told, I don't quite remember. I think I was looking up something only barely related, and stumbled across the forum archives. Then I decided to join the active part of the forums. :P

Hunter is a nice name. Not too common, either.

So, what was it that her mother didn't know before? The pregnancy and relationship and you being FTM, or the latter? If all of those, it's probably...

Agreed, Das. I've known many a jerk who thinks of himself as a good guy. :P

Lesse. Uhh... I'm also not the best with the dating shindig. I think the key is really to kind of push yourself to...

Your parents sounds supportive. With a little more time, I think they'll adjust. I don't seem them going through a sudden reversal anytime soon.

Hehe, sounds familiar. I still research from time to time, but I think I know enough that I don't have to anymore. I only really think a lot about gender identity when other people challenge mine or...
