You're very welcome, and I'm so glad you felt comfortable enough in this space to come in and ask for support. That's an awesome, but sometimes intimidating, step in taking care of yourself. As for finding a therapist, these two resources are explicitly LGBTQA friendly and they offer options for ac...

You're quite welcome! I'm glad that you're at least receiving some mental healthcare and have some help managing your mental health. If it's something you'd find helpful, would you like some resources on finding a therapist who is explicitly LGBTQ friendly? That might give you another place you cou...

Hi confusedhuman, I'm so sorry that you're feeling so low right now, and that your family is so unsupportive of you and your identity. It can majorly suck when you share something so personal only to have people react angrily and tell you it's a phase. There's a lot of different things to tackle in...

Hey there. :) I don't know if we will have any more staff in today, and I already left for the day (and am in transit, or else I would talk with you!). But I just wanted you to know I saw this - and I see you - and if no one else comes in tonight, myself or another staff member will for sure answer...

I came out to my mom many times in the past. I came out as lesbian which I am. But she never took that seriously. I came out as agender. Which she didn't take seriously either. Recently I came out as nonbinary gender again. I explained it to her and sent her links to websites. She still doesn't beli...

Ok. Thank you so much! And I will check out these sites.

Got it. Is connecting to that community, either online or in person, something you're interested in exploring? It can definitely be intimidating to explore new spaces when you're already pretty shy, but getting more connected to people who share, or at least support and understand your experiences,...

Okay! Can you give me a sense of how much, if any, reading about or exploration of genderqueer or other gender nonconforming identities? And how connected would you say you are to a local LGBTQ community? That way we can try not to refer you to places you've already been. For my own advice, I can't...

Hi Confusedhuman, I'm sorry you're in such a rough place right now, and that your mom was not supportive of you. How would you like us to best support you right now? We can recommend resources that might help you out, give you space here to talk through your feelings and offer support and advice wh...

I've been feeling depressed and have no motivation to do anything. I am very confused about my gender identity. I am not sure if I'm genderqueer or transmasculine or bigender. I sent my mom a long message about my experiences and what I'm feeling and that I want to present myself in a masculine way ...
