This has probably been asked before, but here I go:

Those of you who are homosexual, how do you feel about the usage of "gay" as a derogatory term? Ex: "That movie was gay." "You're so gay!"

I hear that all the time and it makes me bristle, and I was curious about how that affects you guys.

For some reason hearing *** feels a lot worse?
I don't know man, I have been called Gay to my face and when I respond 'yeah kinda so?' they always look really shocked then kinda hurt that they said that?? I think its a word people use without thinking about it now. People that use *** are just saying it for that 'you're Gay and disgusting' factor.

Yeah, the f bomb tends to enrage me more mainly because of that stupid South Park episode that made people think it was okay to reclaim it, even if they're not gay.

I mean, I don't like hearing people casually say "gay", but there are other things that are slurs that definitely make me wince more. Case in point: holier than thou ally laughing about "lesbos" and then turning around and saying he's not a homophobe. Or this straight girl on Facebook referring to her friends as fgts (which I guess she thinks is okay because a lot of them are queer).

But yeah. Don't really care much for either, but there are some that I find much more offensive.

Kind of surprised lesbos didn't get censored, but I guess I could always be talking about the island lol.

I don't like it used in derogatory way. It's definitely not as bad as other derogatory LGBT+ terms, but it still ticks me off to hear homophobic people use it that way.

I think that it should be a synonym for fabulous (since a lot of people in the LGBT+ community kind of use it that way anyways). Like, you go to your favorite restaurant and eat your favorite thing and exclaim, "That meal was so freaking GAY!" and everyone knows how great your meal was.

Does anyone else feel this awful selfhatred and jealousy from reading success stories?

I feel better surrounding myself with hateful people, so it's forced to the back of my mind.
Having to think of it, or read others doing what I can't makes me want to die

What do you mean by success stories?

 

[Angira]

Hi there! My name is Angira and I'm agender ^_^ My parents are not a fan of trans beings and if they found out I was agender they would unfortunately kick me out. I have very loving supportive friends though! My friends just recently helped me get a binder! THey're great!

That trans(?) person above, being able to live how they want.
I'm too scared, and probably too far gone already

Im not a success story....I cant tell you how many times I've cried just because no one would accept me. I only have two friends that do, and I live in constant fear of being kicked out....

 

[Cam1]

Ill put it out there right now. Im straight, but it enrages me to no end when people discriminate against you guys. It is stupid and completely breaks(for those in the USA) the constitution(the part about the pursuit of happiness). You guys cant chase your happiness without being made fun of by almost our whole straight community. Its so annoying.

Ah sorry! I was meaning the person above on the previous page

I think all stories have the potential to be success stories. But none of our stories are over yet, if that makes sense? Don't forget that every story has ups and downs, it might be scary and upsetting and downright **** right now but that doesn't mean it won't get better. The stories you see as success stories could have been the most terrible story just a little while ago but you just have to keep going until you find the good part.

Good point!!! It will get better in time I hope!

Hi! I'm sorry about your situation, but it's good to know that you have cool friends who can help you out. Hopefully you'll be able to be financially independent or go to college where you can be open about who you are (which is what I'm hoping for for next year).

Hi, I'm Felix, I'm a pansexual, transgender guy who's so deep in the closet I should be in Narnia. I'm super scared to ask my mom if I can cut my hair short. My parents are super LGBTphobic and they associate girls with a combo of short hair/no makeup (which would be me if I got my hair cut short) as being lesbians. I don't have a problem with that, but they'd probably think I was a lesbian and ask me all kinds of uncomfortable questions. I don't want them getting suspicious about me being pansexual or trans, mostly because I'd be scared that they'd kick me out or force me to go to church at every given chance and schedule meeting with a preacher or something.
I also can't get a binder because while I have money on a Visa gift card thingy that I could buy it with, I have nowhere to ship it. I can't ship it to my house because they'd want to know what it is, and I'd probably get in trouble for buying it. I can't get a PO box because it'd be the same as if I shipped it here. I don't know of any friends whose address I could use because none of them know I'm trans and I'm not ready to tell them yet. Anybody have any tips for either scenario?

 

[Lady Timpani]

I'm not trans, but I do know of several homemade binders that may help you in your situation. You could also ask a trusted adult if they would maybe let you ship the binder to their house, but that may be kind of awkward or frowned upon, depending on who you ask. I'll look for the post that has the homemade binder on it.

Also, I'm sorry about your situation. It really sucks. Hopefully you'll be able to move out/ go to college far away sooner rather than later.

Bumping because I found a tutorial on how to make a binder from a camisole for the person who was asking, or anybody else who's looking for a cheap/discreet way to bind.

If this doesn't work, I'll look into some other ways.

Found it! Hopefully that works for you. o:
