    Another thing NOT to do, is tell your child it's a phase. That alone can be very damaging to your relationship with your kid.

      pronouns in what kind of sense? i mean the other stuff is horrible, but if you get pissed cause someone mistook you for the gender you transitioned to then perhaps that should be a complement because you look as you want.However if you are getting angry cause not everyone is used to calling people "they, them, or it" when referring to one single person.I hope you find yourself what you want though.

      I'm sorry that's happening to you. I'm bisexual and my parents seemed okay with it when I first told them which was like the most amazing feeling and was so freeing until 2 days later when they told me that I wasn't allowed to speak about it or bring it up in their home. I lived with them at the time and had to listen to their rules about calling my girlfriend just my friend if they came over because they were disgusted and disappointed and think I'm going to hell so they didn't want to know if/when i ever got my first girlfriend (still haven't yet). Thankfully now I don't live with them though and when I do finally get a girlfriend if they ever meet her they will know her for who she is and either have to get over it or just not be involved in my life. It's so painful to know that religion is causing them to choose the latter. I just wanted to share my story a little because even though it's not exactly the same i know what it feels like to be unrecognized and unvalued by your closest and most important family members and its awful. Just know you are not alone and you can build a family of your own if your family isn't going to be that for you! 💖 best of luck to you!!!

    So I know that my parents are cool with the LGBTQ+ community - they voted yes for Australia to get same sex marriage and have shown support/said they fully support the community before, but I’m not out yet, i just don’t know what I am. I’m pretty sure I’m bi, but I don’t want to come out twice - or worst case scenario, me being bi is just confusion and not actually who I am. (I know I’m not trans, 99% I’m not straight and 95% sure I’m not gender non conforming - pretty sure I’m just a masculine girl 😂) so I’m scared that if I come out, then I’ll later find that I’m not actually bi or whatever and then people will turn that onto other out queer people saying that “it’s a phase, my daughter came out as bi but later went back to being straight”. So yeah. I’m not coming out until this shits figured out (well... 3ish (one of them was when I was like Hey I think I’m bi) friends that I trust a lot know and two of them are queer to soo)

    I came out to my family this June as bi and they said they’re accepting me and it’s alright to just ‘explore’ different people that i like but they don’t realise that I’m gonna be bi forever. They also still say homophobic stuff about certain people and say that gay people shouldn’t have kids because they’ll ‘pass it down’ or something. Now i’m even more terrified to tell them that i’m non binary because i know that they’ll either be really mad at me and just completely disown me (i still have to live with them since I’m a kid) or completely ignore me when i try and help them understand. They just keep doing this and i don’t want to live here anymore if they’re just gonna make me feel bad for existing. I cant wait until i’m old enough to move out.

So we argue loudly in front of guests and I fi almost am able to leave to hide in my room, but she shortly follows and tells me about how rude and arrogant I am. And when I snapped I told her how she never listens to me, how I feel like a stranger at home, how I don't feel loved and accepted. She then responded with "Oh is this because you're bisexual?" And demanded I go eat food I wasn't hungry for. She made me eat in front of our overnight staying guests while I'm full of tears. I ran upstairs crying and now sit here, talking to whoever is reading this! I overheard how the next time I talk back, ill get backhanded in the mouth.

    Sending all my positive love toward all of you who have hard times with family ❤️ your loved by a lot of people and you might not even know it yet :) (sorry for bad English)

    Parents need to also be careful about what they say about any lgbtq+ identities in general. It makes it really hard to come out even if your parents are generally pretty open and liberal about most things...but will spout out ignorance still. Like I have a cousin that came out as bisexual and my father said something like "oh he must really love sex then". As if that's why my cousin is bisexual ..cause he's just hyper sexual and not just into more than one gender attraction wise. So as a person who is still in the closet with their parents I am now putting off coming out because I know I have to navigate around stuff like that. As if I wasn't nervous already.

What my mom said was that we haven't experienced true passion for someone, that that doesn't come from physical attraction (I came out as bi and asexual), that we shouldn't ristrict ourselves to titles and that tomorrow we might change our minds. Although I understand what she is saying (expecially in regards of my younger sister) I'm not restricting myself to any titles, I know that things might change. Also I've already been in a relationship with a boy for the course of 1 and 1/2 years (we ended in good terms, I love him and we are still very good friends) and I've been in love with girls before?

My baby’s been feminine since he was a baby! At age 2 I already knew this boy was different and by the time he turned 10 I had already accepted it. Hes 14 now and wants to take hormones. But his father is infuriated threatening to take my son away from me, telling me I’m the devil and a horrible mother. It hurts because I loved that man but he’s so homophobic he won’t accept my my son is his own self we can never change him he has his own soul he’s his own self all we can do is love and guide him to be the best version of himself and that he grows up healthy and happy.. his sex has nothing to do with him being a good human. we have another daughter now but his father he said he’ll never accept it. He keeps fighting it’s so abusive and violent and hurtful so hurtful. I know he loves our son but he won’t accept him coming out. It’s so hurtful the things he says my son is hurting it’s so sad. I lost a husband and gained another daughter and my babies are my everything so i feel blessed. My son/daughter is a shining star and I’m proud to be his/her mommy.
    I stopped going to church I eliminated family out of our lives because I will not accept anyone telling me my son is going to hell. He’s a loving and good human being and all my beliefs everything I grew up believing in I can’t believe in anymore I feel lost but I rather die trying to figure all this out accepting and loving and supporting my baby. I will always protect him that is my job as his mother. I lost alot of people but nobody else matters more to me than my 2 children. Who wants to be in our lives will and who doesn’t accept my baby can turn around and not be a part of our lives plain and simple 🏳️‍🌈

I find it really hard to talk to my friends who don’t know they’re non binary, if i bring them up in conversation I’m always tripping on pronouns like “yeah theyr- she’s really good at that” “oh yeah I was talking to them- her about that” like even with them not being out and me not needing to use the they/them pronouns for them irl I still find it so hard

She says I need to prove that I'm transgender through therapy and when I asked to see a gender counselor, she's like, no, you have to prove you're transgender first. Like, what the fuck, I shouldn't have to prove who I am to you. She says she's "supportive" but she's not, really. She's supportive except she never genders me right or uses the correct pronouns and name even when I correct her, then gets upset when I even bring up gender.

Do you think you’re a lesbian?” When I got in the car from school one afternoon. All my siblings were in the car and I felt like my heart completely stopped. She acted as if it wasn’t a huge deal, not personal, and that I could easily say yes or no. I said no and she kept on questioning me about why I search those things up. I ended up getting out of it, but I was traumatised for the rest of the afternoon. I wasn’t ready to come out yet and she didn’t understand that. It didn’t help that I wasn’t completely sure of my sexuality. I was in the questioning stage where I would say I was lesbian but then see a cute guy and change my mind, so it would have gone very wrong if I said yes because I soon realised I definitely am not a lesbian.

That’s when I realized that not everyone just accepts you for who you are. My grandparents still don’t know that I’m gay, both of my sisters are bi, my cousin is trans and gay, and their son-in-law’s brother is gay. I know I need to come out to them one day if I want to stay with who I’m with now, but I still have a long way to go. I am, after all, only eleven. Both of my parents and I never thought I was straight. I even remember six year old me asking them how lesbians have children. My best friend to this day and I even one day decided we were dating. We didn’t know how relationships worked, and my parents and sisters knew we didn’t actually think of eachother in that way, but they still accepted that. Anyway, sorry for this weird long message.

It's been 8 years, 8 years if knowing you're not a girl nor a boy. This is why I live in a closet filled with Ice cream and Depression
