  1. Often, your new name is something you might have to "grow into" a bit. As you said, it'll feel good and comfortable and all, but probably won't start feeling like You for a short bit

    Personally, I took my Legal middle name and made it my first name, as it's a traditionally masculine name. I masculinized my Legal first name and made that my new middle name. That helped with the connection, as it was already pretty darned similar lol. I'll probably change my first name again when I move out and start Properly transitioning, but that's what I use for now- it took a good year or two of my favorite people using My Name before it felt like Me. I'd only consider changing it again because of bad family memories attached

  2. I had a bunch of animal ones from kids magazines when I was really young, and then little pictures I’d print out or find for fandoms I was in and birthday cards when in middle school. Now, I put just about anything I can find that’ll fit up on my walls- k-pop band posters, old drawings and art pieces from when my friends and I were kids, some of my old fandom stuff, I even found old maths conversions sheets and put those together nicely on my wall XD

  3. My 7th grade civics teacher/7th and 8th grade MUN teacher- he’s actively the coolest guy I’ve ever met, he was the biggest ally ever and just all around the greatest. The first adult I’ve ever come out to also!!

    (by the way, all this is coming from an IB school in Maryland. Should be top quality but well.....)

    Oh yo I’m also at an IB school!! Fairly far away from y’all in terms of location though XD

    Fortunately most of my friends are questioning aspec so there’s not *too* too much dating, but I feel like when I hear about it from my other friends it all happens so fast? And so much all the time- one of my friends has dated like 6 people in 2 years which feels like a lot more than it might actually be? Idk, this stuff is confusing to me XD

  5. Oh I don't mind it when it's Optional or like well-done- High School Story has very optional romance for the player's character, even if side characters need to go on dates to advance quests. It's not very trans/non-binary friendly but it does allow lgbq+ relationships

    The Arcana is another romance game I used to really like, its a visual novel and I'm pretty sure there *has* to be romance but I didn't mind it much- I suggest you choose Julian's route if you're alloaro and attracted to men, I was easily able to construe it into a fwb/QPR type relationship. You're also able to take multiple routes at once, which is nice. Very trans/enby friendly imo, you can choose and change your name and pronouns throughout the story line. The side stories are also really fun!!

  6. Ugh genuinely I’m so sorry, I really wish people would leave stuff like that in the past. Try to be like really stern with insisting not to ship y’all, and have your friend that you slept on help you. If they keep shipping you, eventually I’d suggest just ignoring it. I hope they stop really soon, I used to be like them and I didn’t realize just how harmful that is until I got into aro spaces. Hope they can learn sooner rather than later :/

  7. Ah, is it trevorspace? There’s wayy too much of that on there for my liking. I definitely don’t think you’re in the wrong, he didn’t respect your boundaries. I really don’t think anyone will make fun of you for not participating, and if they do you should ignore it and like block them because where’s the logic in that?? I know some forms have the option for saying you’re aroace or looking for a platonic relationship, I’ve even filled out some and said I was just doing it for fun (I like answering questions about myself-)

    Stay safe, I 100% respect you for blocking him, I think that was a good choice

    clothing stores must sell chest binders for trans youth,

    I wanna also add breast forms and packers to this, but omgs this city sounds amazing and so cool

    Minimum wage is actually something that people can comfortably live off of, disabled people (of any kind) are able to comfortably take care of themselves without having to worry about money or accessibility, and people are able to do jobs they really want to. Also I think childcare should be very accessible!!!

  9. Oh yo pronoun buddies!!!

    Y’all, let me just say. Fern is so cool, just look at it!! It’s got such a cool pfp, and don’t even get me started on it’s pronouns (/pos). It should get to have it’s pronouns used often, that’s not fun that they aren’t :/

  10. Hello!!

    In Florida, there is a bill being passed that would be detrimental to queer youths and families. It’s called the Don’t Say Gay bill and, among other things, it would make all discussions of queerness in primary schools illegal. Parents would be able to sue the teacher/school if they find out, and teachers will also be legally obligated to tell parents if a student is out at school no matter what age- obviously putting lgbtq+ youths and families in possibly dangerous situations.

    This bill has been passed in Florida House and is expected to be passed by Senate and the Governor. There are lobbies and other protests going on, but I’m unable to attend as I’m still in high school.

    To do my part in combatting this bill, I’m trying raise awareness for it and let other queer people and allies know. 
    I’m also trying to put together a comprehensive google document with links and paraphrasing of different queer sources explaining our history and the current environment we live in. I plan on having important lgbtq+ historical figures, legislation in the US (where I live) that affects us, and perspectives from overlapping and intersecting communities (different ethnicities and races, different religions, mentally ill/neurodivergent, mentally/physically disabled, kink, etc.). 
    I’m here to ask for help with this google doc. If anyone has any specifics you’d like me to add, some sources that you’ve used and that helped, or if you’re part of an overlapping/intersecting community and would like to share your perspective, please let me know!!! I want this to be open and accessible for as many people as possible, so please give me tips if you have them!!

  11. I don’t hate it, but I do wish it could focus less on specifically romantic love and love in general lmao

    I also keep hearing things about it being a “consumerist/capitalist holiday”, which doesn’t sound too great based on what I know, but I also don’t know enough to have a proper opinion

    Overall I think it’s a fun idea though!!
