Came out to my grandma by mentioning my partner and she didn’t react so I said it again and she just followed up with “but do they speak Chinese”
Anyway happy bi awareness week the two genders are “does speak Chinese” and “does not speak Chinese”

RIP Leslie Jordan 💔
welp
i got outed to my mum
she’s being very good about it overall but i am kind of feeling like i need to vomit
🫂
oof
my parents outed me to themselves a while ago and were accepting and all and very supporting but lord
i did not want them knowing for a long ass time
tru
Damn true
Truuuuuue

wow I haven't seen the term tucute in so long
Yeah a conservative trans girl has been linking these quizzes to me a lot, and frankly I'm shocked that there's a conservative trans girl period.
yeah kinda weird to be a part of a party that denies your existence and TW ||calls you a groomer||
but I remember seeing a lesbian youtuber I used to watch who went completely off the conservative deep end, she featured some conservative trans people that basically made fun of and dismissed non-binary gender identities
I will still never really understand log cabin republicans, even if they grew up in a mostly red area
And oldy but a goodie
it hits too close to home when I'm watching cheesy romcom like single all the way
been too starved for gay romance in my media 😤

There's a reason the tropes are overused
It's just... a little harder to feel connected to them when they aren't gay, I suppose
Miscommunication?
You mean like when someone wants to say something but doesn't and someone misunderstands the situation and gets mad?
yeah like that or character A sees character B hanging out with someone that's not them and throws a fit and doesn't talk to them when like. character B was trying to find [x] thing character A likes
thanks millenium eye
that too
I hate this

shoo bot

I don't remember the means, but somehow this entered my Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/OliviaLilyMarks/status/1604989888969211904?s=20&t=_TD2jkJeFz56o07Uea1pCw
Losing my mind over this conversation between Aubrey Plaza and Drew Barrymore

seeing a gay soap opera on daytime television fills me with hope

I'll send this to my friend
this was me this christmas ngl
but we didnt have anyone but our immediate family present
nice uwu
Oh wow, she is
SO ME
hej it you
Let haha know hehe's not your clown, hehe's your entire circus
I dont know if this is best place but I feel the need to say it somewhere other than in my own mind. I feel quite confused about my current state and if I had to pin it down I’d say I’m bi but I honestly can’t even know at this point. Like I feel some ways sometimes and other ways other time around other people in different places. Whether it’s just certain people or not or I’m just rushing to conclusion that I like guys and girls and whatnot, I just feel confused. Sry this is random but I felt the need to say something and while this is probably not best server to say it in everyone here seems chill so I feel like people here could help/give advice as to what is going on w/ me
Seems like a fine place to say it. As for advice, sounds a lot like what I went through for a while. Therapist helped me figure it out, as well as friends here.
In the end I figured out I was gay, but it was stressful and confusing for a while
Thx for saying it’s a good place. Might seem silly but having a place to speak, even if it’s a random discord sub server is quite reassuring and makes me feel better
This server is very lgbtq friendly
Like I said I’m quite confused with my own brain at the moment and stuff is bouncing around a lot, so much so I can’t actually properly think about it
Professional help can help, if you can afford it. Time and patience will help, too.
And it will feel very awkward for a while, and it might take time to figure it out.
Sometimes I feel gay. Sometimes I feel bi. Sometimes I feel straight. Idek which is strangely funny to me
Yh ig it will
Aye, I felt the same.
also no need to ping me, I'm right here
I mean I only realised it a month or two ago when I realised that “damn, you know guys look pretty damn good as well” and since then it’s kinda just jiggled everywhere
But yeah. I can tell you it gets better. Much better.
Yup yup
The early stages of finding that out suck
I dont know y but I felt wrong
Like I’m atheist and none of my family have ever shown signs of homophobia but I dont know it just felt incorrect
I felt the same. It is not wrong. It is fine and normal.
“It’s 2023 people”
My family is very liberal, but still
You grow up on media that teaches you that guys have to like girls
That explains the wrong feeling I guess
It's taught from a very young age. It's upsetting to realize you don't feel the same as in the movies.
Yh that’s true
Just remember, it is not wrong.
Thx for this man
No worries, I'm happy to help
Been helpful to just kinda talk away and know I’m not only one
It took me until my late 20s to realize I'm gay.
Even thought I kinda know I’m not actually talking to someone who has experienced it puts it into a different kinda sight
Then again lgbtq wasn’t massively accepted for a while was it? Then again I’m still in school so what do I know xD
Maybe
I’ve heard what the media wants me to sigh
Old guy who grew up in a middle eastern country and went to the army. Not exactly the easiest places to talk about the subject.
Damn
Nowadays, there's more lgbtq shows and stories you can check out
I used to think I hated romance in movies. Turns out I just like a different kind of romance.
I can't give you any good recommendations since I barely watch shows
Was thinking bout reading books that were based on lgbtq characters as I like reading a lot
Just read ur bio as well. Book sounds rlly cool. As a Star Wars nerd anything sci-fi is beautiful to me
Tyty
Fantasy is so cool as well
I mean I grew up reading Percy Jackson and books like that religiously, and watching the Star Wars films over and over. Was basically me earlier childhood
My*
The book is p adult oriented due to how violent it is atm
Fair enough
But who knows how it will be when I finally publish
Out of interest have u heard of the Gone book series?
The name rings a bell
Massive force field trapping anyone under the age of 15?
Dystopian world where teenagers with mutated powers have to try and survive without tearing themselves apart. I dont know if it’s ur thing but I think it was cool
Was fun as a kid, but I do not like the author or agree with a lot of the things in her books now
I read that at like 11?
Burnt through the whole series in two weeks 
Nice nice
I had too much spare time back then
Very impressive
Yeah, had a lot more time to read as a kid
Now I'm just tired all the time 
Same, also my obsession with gaming has kinda ruined my reading
Not it’s gotten worse but I just don’t do it as much anymore
Yeah. I have to stay away from videogames since I'm addicted.
Mostly online card games.
Ygo, pokemon, hearthstone, legends of runeterra. But they made me a toxic person and ate up my time so now I don't touch them.
Pokémon?
Yh I just forgot that people actually played the tcg and didn’t just trade cards
So long since I got a Pokémon pack
Cool
Anyways, I should be studying. I hope I helped
Yh u defo did man I appreciate ur time
I'm sure other people here can also help you with what you are going through.
Good to talk to someone about it
Yh seems chill here
This is a very accepting server for lgbtq people
Helps that a lot of the mods here are members of the community
Or at least some
Better than none
The important thing is that they are wonderful people
The moderation team is probably the best I've seen on any major server
Yeah I can see what mean
Anyway thx again for ur time man, and good luck with whatever it is ur studying for 👍
Tyty, and good luck to you too.
Unexpectedly wholesome
That’s is amazingly cute
People hot 👍

hell yeah
hi
Meowdy
This Sunday, in theatres near england, I jump out of the wardrobe
Good luck!
Have done a long think about it
And i think it should go ok, parents have always sounded very “open to fruityness” i guess
So yeah
If you trust them enough, and you feel the time is right
I have been kinda thinking about having the convo for a bit
It can backfire, but it can really help you
Yh i realise it may not all go perfectly, but i feel i am in a good place
Best of luck to you, then
Thx
Recently remembered this dubbed moment
Shall be starting any speeches with this from now on
Update: coming out went rather well, parents were both kinda unfazed by it
Yeah thats basically what parents said summed up
Your parents are fucking based 
👍
I'm guns.
Im burger
I'm Longetivity
I'm Quaranteen
I might also be Today 
I've been figuring out when/how I'm gonna come out to my parents but my mum and I were both awake in the middle of the night a couple days ago and the conversation moved to menopause and hrt/how my mum doesn't wanna do it and I ended up telling her how I "know a lot about it from the people I'm around" so I told her a bit about it and then the convo moved to how a kid in her year 2 class she teaches made a harmless genderfluid joke and she had to tell the other kids that it wasn't offensive???
this may be a lot easier than I thought because this is NOT how she talked about gender stuff like 8 months ago lmao
They certainly do
fellas
if I can get a diagnosis
I might be able to start transition soon
there's still a lot of things I need to work out with my parents but
it's not a 0%
the convo could've gone a lot better but
also could've gone a lot worse
they're very emotional and worried that I might be rushing into it, and not sure if it's the best thing for me but
they also said it is what it is if I get a formal gender dysphoria diagnosis and I'm an adult
Its ur decision at end of day ig
ye
Im next ig

Im currently in a very strange position. I am a trans girl, I am very very certain about that. There are a few problems though like for example, while I don’t think my parents would react terribly, I go to an all boys school, which is decently strict with no other trans people (that I know of)
That would be
Very complicated considering I’ve started my GCSEs (big exams) this year
Thx btw
I think at the moment my plan is to see what happens as it goes, start with talking to parents and whatnot
Woah I forgot this thread existed
issa good thread
may need to participate more
Yes
..not sure what I'd participate with though
Share funny memes or something
bold of you to assume I have anything funny on my phone
Bold of u to not have anything funny on ur phone
true
Im trying the whole voice training thing and its so weird, like ik it will feel unnatural, but it is so strange
Gl
My voice is already kinda high but im struggling for it to be like, feminine
You're young, voices change until a late age
Yeah true
Not for the better in your case
Annoyingly also true
Maybe ask Licia about this, her voice is really good
Will have to when i next see her online

DMing while she is offline feels rude 
Not really, because you are leaving it up to her when to respond
It's like sending an email, she'll respond at her convenience
That's how I see it
I really need to change my name back 
Yes
There
Wonderful
Also the realisation i just had that last couple days my throat has been all weird and ive been coughing a bunch might not be a cold

Do you have a fever?
Are you sleeping well?
It could be a cold if coughing is the only symptom
Yeah
If your throat is hurting stop, you can cause serious damage to your vocal cords.
For the record I only find random dms rude if it's like
Someone trying to get my attention for the wrong reasons or just wasting my time.
If you have a legitimate reason to message I never mind dms.
Yeah I probs shoupd take a rest from it
Ah ok, thanks!
Yeah I've had my fair share of people trying to friend me because they want my badges, or to try and get in my pants or just want something so it's annoying lol
But again if you have a legit reason I'll never mind.
hey can I have ur badges?
Bitch I already gave you one of them
(one of the badges is partnered server owner)
I forgot badges existed at all tbh
U know badges r pretty cool 
Honestly I hate them, brings nothing but harassment to the people who do have them.
Whassa badge
the discord ones
Yes, what are they
The things at the top of the user peview thing?
Ah yeah they are. Nvm.
yems
Wtf I’ve just seen some vids about new trans bills that are getting passed in like USA and some other places 
yeah seeing them is real spooky
Eh UK has been looking worse and worse recently
very not happy to be living here myself
i now need to try and keep up more with politics and whatnot now ig
Yeah iirc the UK is just as bad if not worse.
I think when I can afford it I'd probably like to move to canada, not heard anything too bad about lgbt stuff there
implying I'll ever be able to
Well good news-
Canada has a petition out there to make it a trans refugee country.
Oh really?
Mmhmm
That is actually really awesome to hear
canada is pretty real for that
Canadian W
Trying to think about how I come out to parents as trans and I am confused. Like in my mind I just think that sitting down with them when nothing is happening, and like getting their full attention and kinda explaining it to them would be best bet. Just so fucking scared tho, like coming out as bi to them made me nervous as all hell, so this is just so much worse
Maybe do what you did last time?
They've proven themselves once
They gave you the ideal response iirc
Hey chat, need help
An anonymous friend of mine, closeted trans woman, is looking for a dating app. Any reccomendations?
Bumble and Hinge are kind of my go to, but they're "normal" dating apps.
Not specifically focused on LGBT+
Gotcha
She hasn't gone through any treatment so she still passes as a guy, according to her
But at the same time, she is looking for a meaningful relationship, which means she is looking for a woman who is willing to stay with her as she transitions
I found plenty of women on both of those apps (even if I didn't match with them), so those are my go tos.
Thanks, I'll tell her
^^
Don't use my "but she never got a date off the app" thing though I'm just unmatchable and undatable lol
*you're just too talented and hardworking for most people to appreciate
Damn I just came out to friend as trans and they hit me with the largest curveball known to man
“Well, I am trans too, and to be honest, I do kind of like you”
nice


@faint flame what did you mean by this?
I'll just delete this tbh

Dw this was in response to some homophobic thing
I would laugh but that's me
Owo
would you like me to change your pronoun role 
Nah, I'm good
Thank you though 💖
I like liking guys too much to become a lesbian, but I am definitely somewhere in the range of "respectfully envious of soft warm lesbian vibes"?
For now "disaster bi" works just fine
that’s fair
in the end it’s you
and no one can decide who you are but yourself


lmfao when did we have that as an emote




American laws rlly are something rn 
it's extremely worrying, I didn't think we'd get to the literal fascism stage like we have in florida but here we are

LET HER COOK
I should subscribe to me_irlgbt, these are fantastic memes
The fact that Gwen Stacy might be trans is awesome to me
pog
There is a surprisingly high amount of evidence for it to be honest
She has a “protect trans kids” banner on her wall, her suit is trans colours, her universe is trans colours, and her dad has a patch of the trans flag on his police uniform
so a bunch of conservatives are getting mad at garth brooks apparently cause he said he'd continue to sell bud light after they had a trans representative
https://twitter.com/CSIvellios/status/1667257979647807519 and I'm finding out that this man is (hopefully) really cool
found out about this through a lesbian country star (brooke eden) releasing a song about her getting married, which is also very cool
@crude notch I think I showed you the original comic for this one but just in case I didn't, the first one is in their replies uwu
also @glass grove @cloud solstice
Hrm
been thinking a fair bit for a while and I'm wondering if I might be enby
Not a Bad idea to explore

My transphobic uncle sent me a "happy birthday deadname" card 
😔


Italy is being hateful towards moms right now 
🫂 hugs to any moms affected by that messed up law
I have done it , me has girlfriend 
Congrats!
Thx
We were talking today (I have had a crush on her for a while) and she said she liked me, and yh

good job
Ugh I wish I could go see an endocrinologist already
I wish I could never see images like that because they do incredible mental damage to me
Oh I'm sorry.
lmao don't worry about it post what you want
I'm just a very jealous person when it comes to seeing those irl "transformation" posts
Omg queer chameleon is awesome
oh hey wayne brady came out as pan
I read this as Tom Brady at first and was shocked
also means they do +10 damage in Fall Out New Vegas
Just saw a meme that said “When I say I’m bi, what I mean is that I love almost every woman, and at least 4 men” 
Same lmao


it's true 
Question now though is what buffs do trans people get 
Double jump no?
or air dash
Stealth buff, like invisibility (aka successfully passing)
lmaooo
transphobes are getting extra ridiculous, they want to ban trans women from chess

okay from sports its messed up but i see where its coming from at least
but CHESS?
The FIDE is afraid the trans people are gonna transition the piece with the least protection into the strongest piece in the game. /sarcasm
For real though, what is the FIDE on about 💀 its a board game.
the testosterone will be insane in chess !!
Pawns literally transcoded, they become queens
what if the transexuals put a mirror next to their opponent so they can see their pieces 
yeah FIDE is being shitty, although other chess orgs are being better so thats something at least
Based
They both talk about trans women, I dont know if that means trans guys are fine or if they are just banned full stop 
FIDE does indirectly also talk about trans men, as they said that people who have won female only chess tournaments and are no longer female will have that title revoked. But there are no such thigns as male only chess tournaments to trans men aren't really mentioned in any way besides that
Its true 


TRUE

Just really sweet
Also, found this Marvel X men podcast called Cerebro and, I love how they discuss characters like Emma Frost, Ice Man and Candy Southern.
People always underestimate kids.
They really do.
And they always assume that all the kids will grow up to be straight/cis etc
Lol
on the other hand, trans people that have kids gain a bonus sneak attack
Good point
Medical dramas are weird. You never have a trans person come in with a cold. No. It’s a weird thing like in Chicago Med where it’s either their transition is messing things up or, for the trans women, prostate cancer.
It’s just… I’m not even trans and I’m like “Writers, this is getting stupid. Almost malicious.”
Or perhaps have a trans character who is like barely known to be trans
Like they drop into the convo they are at some point but there injury is a badly fractured or broken leg or something I dont know

Yeah. You know what I mean though, right?
Yh
All the time in shows trans people in like hospitals have testicular cancer or something like that 
Make it out as if their only role in the show is “trans inclusion” while being anything but due to their entire role being a TRANS person not a trans PERSON
And it’s in a rather malicious way in ways that’s either “you can’t defy biology” or “your transition is killing you”.
Meanwhile, Pose despite ending two years ago, is still the gold standard
Rather cool Mother indeed 
That is a cool mum.
Just hope she doesn’t refer to her daughter’s partner as Catra because that could be a red flag lol.
damn I'm jealous of the lesbians

“I’m known nationally for being trans – I’ve never run away from that,” Roem said. “At the same time, locally, I got your kids fed; I got your commute fixed. What else is there for me to say?”
I fuckin love this
This pretty woman at the fabric store called me sweetie and I think my heart fell for her, should I go back tomorrow and make a move?

Luv yall
I thought that was common knowledge lol.
Yeah. Too Cis to start fires
Apparently, a few writers in Marvel in the 80’s and 90’s were writing Juggernaut and Black Tom as a couple.
That explains so much about Juggernaut.
tbh I was wondering if he was an older gay
I'll take your word for it, I've only ever tried the heels part 
ive tried both
honestly heels arent that that bad compared to ski boots bc u dont
go skiing in heels
those would be some cunty skis
@leaden spire she used an ethel cain lyric and the art goes hard as hell
As an artist, there is no greater compliment than people calling to tear down your art for its message
This whole story reeks of hypocrisy. I'm glad she got to continue to display her art.
Crazy
I don’t think that’s an actual lyric is it, pretty sure it’s just her like
Branding or whatever
Oh actually it’s in sun bleached flies
ye
how could you 
It’s just a weird song
nobody told me about the super secret gay thread
Same here
Yay!
Yeah there could be better advertising for it
So like
Im coming out
As trans
To my family
(Besides my mom and uncle)
Im nervous lol
My case is not the same, but when I came out as gay to my family, my dad (who I told earlier) helped out
Maybe your mom can help?
And, warning, you will feel super cringe for a while after that
it can be nerve inducing to come out but i wouldnt worry bout it unless u have reason to worry
She’s a bartender so she works super late
How did your mom and uncle respond?
^
It's a positive step for you
My uncle is genderfluid but leans more towards masculine, he has been the most supportive, my mom is also supportive, but like, she was raised really country so she doesnt really know how to help outside of reaffirming my feelings
Sounds like a great environment
Any reason to believe your dad or siblings will be nasty to you?
First, worry about those in your own house.
Unless you live alone
Live with my grandparents due to school and family stuff
I moved so i could be at a school where i know people, and where i have friends who are supportive
I'd ask your mom and uncle, but really, going for it is the right thing. Unless you fear it could go catastrophically for you.
welcome
And if your mom and uncle are both supportive, I can't see this being the end of the world
You have some people in your corner already, and that makes things easier.
Still, try to read the room before you come out. Your safety comes first.
i’m really glad that there are people who have relatives who accept them for who they are
mine would bar me from any family event for being pan
🫂
That fucking sucks
I hope they change, and that you live in a safe place.
i mean like none of them know so like
I'm not sure how things will go when I have to come out as gay, but I guess if I'm independent it doesn't really matter
i’m not in any danger lol
Good
It sucks to have to hide yourself
I hope you can get yourself to a safe environment soon. You don't deserve to live in shadows.
i’m sure that the people in my household would be supportive but like
i’m just worried about everyone else in my family
it does let u know who really there and who isnt
My extended family don't know, only my household.
And until any good reason for me to come out pops up, I don't see that changing.
my mom is like the only person from her side of the family that kinda defected from the conservative values the rest of her family was raised on
At least that
It can be hard for people to get over the bigotry they are raised on
Even if she understands the flaws in her family's belief system, she might have trouble.
