@@jynandor You're super welcome bro!
@actualdragon Yup yup that's normal and relatable, just be patient I think, you'll work it out. I mean some people are still confused in their late twenties/early thirties, and there's really no rush, it's not much of a priority? Like with finishing school and finding a job and stuff. I mean, that's how I always thought. Anyway you'll figure it out, I'm sure. Good luck!
Hi! I'm new to the site and all that jazz. I'm Rowan and I'm ftm and pansexual. My parents are okay with me being pan but not with me being trans and they won't let my buy a binder which really hurts considering the fact that dysphoria is hitting me really hard right now, that's why I'm writing. I use it as an outlet and a distraction from everything. I don't really have anything set up yet on here because I've been using evernote, which is nice for keeping track of stories but not so much for characters and everything else I need to use.
hey I'm Jone and I'm an asexual homoromantic. Glad to find other who will actually accept me. Mississippians aren't the most welcoming.
@Joneathan that sucks man. you're always welcome here! and parents wonder why we're always online. we're friends here, that's why.
@Rowan i know its really hard to talk to friends and stuff, but maybe of you asked your friend or something they might be able to get you a binder? (sorry i know its not exactly plausible just throwing stuff out there) and maybe find something else that might help with the dysphoria like idk what do guys do (wait do you identify as a guy or a girl or nonbinary im so sorry i just kind of assumed that you identified as a guy because of the whole binder thing if im wrong im so so sorry my bad)
Helllo I'm Sol, I'm asexual biromantic and gender fluid. A little about me, I love torturing my characters, singing, reading, making pots, and writing.
Hello I am Erin I’m 17 and bisexual and rip same
@actualdragon its okay! I do identify as male/gender-queer because my mom is more accepting of me identifying and anything else other than male. I feel bad for asking my friends because I have no way of paying them and it's kinda like going behind her back, which is the same reason my brother won't buy me one. I tried this alternative for binding but it wasn't safe and I could have potentially bruised/broken my ribs, and I knew that went I did it I just didn't care. Long story short my brother walked in on me binding and not only did he take it from me he also lectured me because it was stupid. Also don't use gause to bind.
Hi, I'm not planning on telling people my name (because privacy) but I'm a forever alone questioning her sexuality human rights anti violence protester knitting Whovian Potterhead Sherlockian with a dad who is neutral on the subject (and respects the LGBT) and a mom who is a poet and an artist and a social justice-y feminist who supports everyone as long as they aren't harming themselves or others. I have two cats named Prunewhip and Fenton and a dog named Hannah and a hedgehog named Zoe and an older brother and a younger sister (a one year difference, I am a middle child) and I like cooking and writing books. I live in a country suburban area and am homeschooled, along with my siblings. I'm happy to set everyone here and hope I can make some friends!
Hey, call me Demi (not my real name) and bi-curious? Bisexual? I think I'm in an in-between stage… not sure
Also, I'm kind of peeved at stories on Wattpad and Quotev where the main character is LGBT (no QA+ because I have never seen a questioning or ace/aro character on there) and their parents are homophobic and abuse them. And when the character gets kicked out of the house, they completely forget about their parents! I don't know about you, but it seems pretty unrealistic for me. My parents are strict Christians, but I love them all the same, I mean, I don't think I'd ever be able to just forget them if they ever found out. Same with my LGBT+ friends… their parents were either pretty cool with it; or weren't, but had to come to terms with it and stay on good terms with their child.
@Demipheonix1125 I've noticed that too and it honestly kind of sucks.
also can i just say one of my biggest pet peeves is when people are like "a is for ally" please no you're erasing everyone who's asexual, aromantic, or agender, because allies aren't oppressed, it's a choice to be an ally, it's not your identity
yep!

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!

@Rowan Dude, don’t even use gauze to wrap up injures. It’s terrible! I tried to wrap up my foot because it was really bugging me, and it cut into my foot whenever I took a step.

Alright I have a question (because you guys seem to know what you're doing here): Is there a way to tell if you are bisexual, pansexual, or just straight? I've been dealing with this problem for a little while and I'm seeking advice. Sometimes I think I'm bi or pan, but then I think "Maybe not. Maybe you just don't want to be straight." and I'm super confused…
@PuffPoff omg I have that problem all the time. Personally I don't really have any advice (unhelpful I know sorry) just that sometimes if I'm ever questioning if I'm actually bi I think of someone cute of the same gender and I'm like okay yeah I'm bi. And it's also important to remember that being bi or pan is a spectrum. Sometimes people like one or a couple genders more than another gender. So don't worry and remember that you're valid.
Also hey! I'm bisexual and either aro or demiromantic

@wwmoxie thanks so much, that really helped!
Also I was talking with one of my friends from church who seemed pretty progressive and stuff and we were talking about homosexuality and stuff and she was like, "yeah I've heard that apparently homosexuals 'don't have a choice' but idk about that". And I was just like oh. okay. cause I'm not out yet so she thinks I'm straight and I'm just like ugh
ooh… i've been in similar situations and god, they're so fucking annoying…
like, i love my friend to death, but she only ships the girl version of alex fierro with magnus chase
i kNOW
That is something kinda horrible but you should love the person anyways.
