additionally i often think about how unattractive i must look while masturbating, which doesn't help

i tried to make this fit the guidelines but cw a lot of negativity and anxiety i have several very socially unacceptable fetishes (there is usually no arousal without thinking about one of them) and i hate myself for it. it's nothing i would ever act on, but i just feel dirty all the time and i thin...

I don't exactly know if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone know where to find a binder that can tame a set of double d's? I already use sports bras but I really want to see if a binder would work better.

My best friend doesn't sound like she's going to be very supportive- what do I do?

And my mom thinks that transgender is only one end of the spectrum to the other, but I thought it meant just if you identify as anything other than what you were identified as when you were born. Can someone clear this up? What exactly is your idea of transgender?

Well, I've recently been with my grandma and grandpa on Thursday and honestly, I wince every time someone calls me a 'she' and not just with my extended family- with everyone, even my immediate family! I just don't care enough to correct them- maybe I do? The name is still something different, and I...

Oh! Sorry, I've been really busy the past few weeks- gynecologist appointments and prescriptions (unrelated to this), joining sports, applying for student council, etc. SO basically my mom said that her family is all white-Christian-cis-straight-conservative and stuck in their ways, and I'd tell the...

Yeah, and they said to weight the pros and cons of coming out to anyone in my extended family, that I would still be me but my extended family will use my dead name and pronouns.

sure I'll do that, and I remembered something weird- my parents said to weigh the pros and cons of talking about it with my extended family, to not even bring it up with some people.

Om, well basically right after my last post my mom called me into the living room after she had taken the poster and gave it to my dad, and then he read it and was really confused about exactly what it meant and then me and my mom had to explain it to him. My mom and sisters sometimes call me a gend...

She actually called me the name I want! She even called me they! Only once today, though.

She hasn't so far, she isn't even home right now. She isn't even thinking about it when calling me she, my given name, daughter, sister, etc.

Yes, I definitely have a name I want to go by. My given name feels dead.I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But other than that pretty relieved to get it off my chest.

Kind of nervous and annoyed because she hasn't said anything about it since then.

We did it bois. I made a hECKING POSTER and put it on my door and my mom saw it when she woke me up. She told me that this is a big thing for a parent to process and she needs time to think. No one else knows.

Yep that makes sense. I'll come out to a bunch of peeps over the summer as well.

I mean come out publicly, like to the whole school.

I read that and all the other trans summer school articles. Rad.

I've already got into the "But there are only two kinds of parts!" argument before, and inevitably this is going to happen again. Any advice on not letting this kind of stuff get to me/this specific argument? The other nonbinary kid at school is still getting called she and they still have...

I keep psyching myself up to come out to someone (parent/friend) but then I chicken out and subconsciously convince myself that I am wrong, that I am a girl, only to repeat it all again later. I am not a girl, but... I guess I'm nervous? Maybe it's because I've read other stories on here where it di...

Well, I didn't bother yesterday and now I feel like I am dying from a cold but here we go! I haven't come out to my friend yet because there hasn't been a good time for it really (we mostly see each other in school and I'd probably be embarrassed if someone overheard me). I think I'll come out to fr...

Let's see about troubleshooting this for you: what do you want -- what are you looking for -- in coming out? And can you think of anyone you might try coming out to first who you can for sure or probably count on to be acceptive, supportive and to validate your sense of you identity instead of look...

I'm sorry the other nonbinary person at school behaved that way with you and responded that way to your disclosure. That sounded very dismissive to me, and I bet that experience felt isolating and crappy. There's a misunderstanding here- I was talking about trying to come out to my mom but it delet...

I was born "female" and given a feminine name. I have never really identified myself as "feminine". I wore dresses when I was under six and that was because I literally thought that I had to. I've never liked the color pink, but I used to say that it was my favorite color in orde...
