I need help. I live in a very abusive situation, with my parents and now my ex-girlfriend. My parents aren't bad now, but my ex keeps trying to come back, even to just be friends. I need not only advice, but support too
I’m not sure the entirety of your situation, but if it’s possible check if there are any lgbt groups in your area because they will sometimes have support groups that could help you, also I’m not aware of the past with your ex but if it was unhealthy or abusive I suggest you do your best to cut ties with her or do whatever is best for your mental and physical health, as for your parents if it gets bad you can report them if you feel safe doing so or you can seek out others in a similar scenario who may be able to offer advice on how to get through it until you can leave home, I would search through tumblr or online in general for some online support groups for abuse because there are some communities out there that can help.-Brianna
It doesn't matter what gender the person is, if they are a great person, I will love them!!
This is for all those people who are nonbinary and believe no one will accept them

Trans women? You mean…
Talented folks who happen to be
Real women and
Astronomically beautiful while also
Naturally amazing and
Spirited and should be
Worshipped like the goddesses they are, because of how
Overwhelmingly courageous, and
Mystical, and
Entralling and interesting and
Noble by nature, as trans women always are 💕
it’s fun to stay at the Y

its kinda scary how your whole life depends on how well you do as a teenager
The scars on my arms fade, but the cuts on my heart remain. I felt something then, but your hate numbs me. No one loved me like you, but now the mask’s off and your spit runs down my face. Pain’s my topic now, because that’s what you subject me to. Looking in the mirror and finally seeing the horror, the demon standing next to me. I hid behind the false face, the lies that you made, but real monsters aren’t in the closet with me, they are your friends and leaders. I try to get away, to follow my heart, but all it knows how to do is break. My head’s heavy from all the lies swimming around. Love is a four-letter word, but so is hate, and you seem to confuse the two constantly. Not on the front lines, but the war inside me has made more scars than any knife can carve.
So I'm just questioning my gender, but I'm sorta stuck. I'm amab and that doesn't bother me sometimes, but sometimes dysphoria is overwhelming. Like I want a female body but I don't mind being seen as male or female. I'd honestly prefer to be seen as both but still physically transition.
I get that. Trans people have a very intimate relationship with gender roles and can often see how the grass is greener on both sides of the fence. As much as dysphoria wanted me to be seen as a male, sometimes I wish people still treated me socially like a girl (because there are some benefits to that). On the other hand, i love being treated as a guy because it matches my personality and helps combat my dysphoria. It makes sense that, having seen one side, you’d want to be socially in the middle instead of on either extreme.
It’s quite possible you’re a trans woman who just doesn’t want to bother with gender roles or social transition as much. I know for me, physically dysphoria was definitely stronger than social dysphoria, so I’d be fine with being seen somewhere in the middle as well. I don’t think it invalidates your gender at all.
This is really hard and sorta nsfw... But one of the guys I used to know has done some things that are inexcusable, like make sexual advances towards me and my girlfriend, but he's one of the two people that genders me correctly (I'm mtf) and he is autistic, so I don't know what to do about all this, especially since I am terrified of him and confrontation in general.
boy howdy have i been in this situation before. don’t make my mistake and give him multiple chances, because chances are it’s only going to get worse as time goes on. if worst case happens, sever all contact and try to disappear from his life, and if he keeps harassing you that strays into illegality.
good luck <3
